Hi Les,

Just to bring you up to date. Attached are images of my novel: front cover, interior, and back flap plus the acknowledgement page which includes YOU and the Verdun Connections Group! Hope you can read it. 

It's been a long journey but it's out now on Amazon.ca, Amazon.com, Amazon.co.UK, Barnes and Noble and Indigo. BUT ask your bookstores to order the book because I believe in supporting indie book stores. Also ask your library to stock it as I get paid for every book borrowed.

I am excited that my novel will debut in Montreal at the Blue Metropolis International Literary Festival where I will be reading last day of the festival May 4 at the Hotel 10, corner Sherbrooke and St. Laurent Blvd, in the Jardin Room with the other new releases from Guernica including Lorne Elliot. Remember him? Reading some time between 4 and 5:30 pm. You can google the Festival April 2 when the site goes live and see what it's all about. I believe there is a link for launches. Yep, I'll be rubbing elbows with international authors, publishers, agents, illustrators, poets, etc. I'm not a literary groupie but even I can be impressed! Haven't been to Montreal since 1998 so it will be emotional. A lot of things have changed. I always wanted to write about that time in Montreal, the late sixties before it was forgotten and I did. Thank you to you and VC Connections for sharing their memories.

Then May 25 I head off to Toronto for the second launch at the Supermarket Restaurant and Bar, reading at 4 pm

June 12 is the Edmonton launch at Audreys bookstore between 7 and 9.

June 24 reading at the Glass Door Coffee House Reading series here in Edmonton.

Beginning of November I will be reading in Calgary at Owl's Nest with another Calgary author and a short book tour en route stopping through Red Deer and Lethbridge. Hoping to get to BC in the new year.

I have also been invited to talk about my novel at a book club April 8 and another in the fall. The fall gig dates are still to be determined. 

How is your sister and her book doing?

Take care,

Dolly
