Wish my hotel and plane ticket were booked to attend my son's @lukefrancisbeirne.bsky.social launch in Fredericton, New Brunswick. I guess, I will have to wait for the Irish launch instead (hint, hint).
It looks like I'll be attending this event! The hotel is booked, and the dog has a babysitter. Exciting times in #NewBrunswick! @lukefrancisbeirne.bsky.social #canlit #nbbluesky

@lukefrancisbeirne.bsky.social's neo-noir SAINTS REST (Baraka Books) is a gripping page-turner set in the gritty streets of Saint John, where a P.I. is pulled into a murder case that reveals deep undercurrents of corruption and control.

Great turnout last night for Luke @lukefrancisbeirne.bsky.social Delighted. I am a tad jealous: flowers, cake & a themed mug. The Write Cup Bookstore and Cafe even had a special drink on sale, a Saint John Fog (Orange Pekoe and Salted Caramel - a twist on a London Fog). And plenty of books sold too!
