Lots Going on This Week

I haven’t had a very hectic schedule with These Days Are Numbered…except this week?! Not sure why but I’ll take it. I realize most folks aren’t reading this blog week to week but I post things here as a kind of repository and in case of googlers–anyway–here’s what’s up

I wrote a blog post on the Dundurn site about the nature of truth in the writing of These Days Are Numbered. I always wondered about how memoirs are truth but also, when you know the person who wrote it, it’s not exactly how it is–or not only that?? It’s weird. Anyway, I still don’t exactly get it, but there’s more in the most.

I also wrote a post for the Shepherd website about the best novels (according to me) about community and connection, one of my favourite topics and certainly a big one in TDAN, which is not a novel but much of my reading material is. ANYWAY, the post is about a real wide range of books, so hopefully there’s something there for all to enjoy.

And finally on Friday I’m doing a book panel at Toronto FanExpo on Friday–6:30 with a bunch of really cool Dundurn authors who also write about my true love, Toronto. Should be a weird wild hopefully wonderful event. Join us??
