BOOK LAUNCH

NEW from Inanna Publications

Mary Lou Dickinson's novel, Ile d'Or, was launched on TUESDAY MAY 18th, 2010 in downtown Toronto.

Elizabeth Greene's collection of poetry, Moving, had its Toronto launch at the same time. There will be a launch party for Moving in Elizabeth's home city, Kingston, later in June.

Readings began at 7:00pm.

Montreal. April 20th to 25th, 2010

While in Montreal I attended many events at Blue Metropolis Literary Festival. At the same time, I worked to a deadline around completing the galleys of the novel as well as on the return trip on the train. The novel had to be to the printer by April 27th to be ready for the launch on May 18th in downtown Toronto. It did intrude somewhat on what I had planned to do in Montreal, but I was still able to walk and wander. And to visit with special people.
