It has been an intense week and I want to thank everyone for their messages of support and interest in the book. Thank you to all of you who have already bought a copy. I’m overwhelmed by this day I’ve been awaiting for so many years.
September 4th marks the publication of the Globe & Mail’s exclusive piece by Wendy Stueck on the book.
See this excerpt from That Lonely Section of Hell, published in the Globe & Mail September 5th and watch on the 7th for a review of the book.
My conversation with Anna Maria Tremonti of CBC Radio One’s The Current is scheduled to air Thursday, September 10th between 0830 – 1000 am PST, check their website to ensure it isn’t bumped. You can also listen online after the piece airs if you miss it.
There will be a book launch event in early October in Vancouver open to the community. Watch here for more details in the coming days.
The book is available from Greystone Books as well as widely available anywhere you buy your books.
I’m very excited to be sitting on a social justice panel called “Just Words #MMIW” at the Edmonton LitFest October 18, 2015 at 2pm, at the Stanley A. Milner Library. I’m humbled to join this formidable group of brilliant writers. Please check out the work of Drew Hayden Taylor, Shawna Ferris, and Tanya Kappo.
And finally – for now – I will be joining author Joan McEwen and moderator Sandy Garossino for “Let Justice Be Done”, a discussion on crime, policing and social justice in Vancouver at the Vancouver Writers Fest October 24, 2015 at 2pm.
Hope to see you there!
