Once more, with feeling: On 23 January I was scheduled to read from and chat about my fifth novel, Hard White, at Brighton Public Library, 35 Alice St., Brighton, Ontario (613-475-2511). I was really looking forward to the event, however, this being Canada, weather intervened (blizzard, if you recall) and it had to be cancelled.

At 6:30 pm, Tuesday, April 15 I will be trying again. If you’re able, please join us at Brighton Public Library for a reading and a Question and Answer period afterward. And please let any friends and relations in the area know. All are welcome, there is no charge – because libraries are like that, welcoming and generous.

Let’s hope the weather spirits are cooperative, the ice storm we had this weekend doesn’t repeat itself, and that the event can go ahead as scheduled. Looking forward to this.
