Writing

I feel incredibly fortunate to have my book carried in the Nicholas Hoare bookstore, 45 Front Street, Toronto, as of today. It’s such a beautiful store and you recognize the British connection as soon as you enter. Warm wood floors, a high ceiling and light-filled space with enormous bookshelves accessed by ladders, invite you to browse their amazing selection of literature.  The staff are knowledgeable and welcoming. Thank you to Maxeen!

 

If you are in downtown Toronto, do drop in!

… and remember, in the west end Kingsway neighbourhood visit

The Book Mark and in Burlington, A Different Drummer Books.

All extremely special stores with the very best of personal service.

Well I certainly had fun today! At 1 p.m. I was interviewed by Hugh Reilly and a lovely young woman, Natalie (must find out her last name), on Hugh’s show Liquid Lunch. In a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, we chatted about The Bridge Club and my experience with self-publishing. Of course, the “real” bridge club did come up in conversation several times and they were impressed we were still as tight as ever.

If you haven’t seen any of their programs, check it out on www.thatchannel.com.

 

I’ll post the video as soon as I receive it.

Happy Hallowe’en! Okay, I’m still waiting for all those wonderful stories about you and your remarkable friends. I know they are out there! I’ve received some on Facebook and will try to link them here. Ha! I know, I know … I can hear you muttering something about me and my links. I promise I’m working on it …

It’s been a busy weekend. On Friday I was honoured to be asked to participate in a reading with the Peel Region branch of the Canadian Federation of Poets. My sincere thanks to Cheryl Antao-Xavier who chairs the meetings for extending the invitation.

Today, I met with Ian Elliot, the owner of A Different Drummer Books and I’m pleased to let you know that The Bridge Club is now available in that respected bookshop. It’s a joy to linger and browse the exemplary selection of books in the wonderful atmosphere there. Be sure to stop and admire the garden on the way in. It truly is a special place.

 

Alright I’m trying another link and hope it works. If not, simply go to the Globe and Mail Life section and read the 8 Cousins article. Their time together sounds just like my Bridge Club reunions (post #3 – The BC in BC) and I’m sure many of you share the same kind of bonds with a group in your life. You may be young moms, school buddies, or a group that has come together through some common denominator. You may be of a certain age with decades of friendship and memories. If you have a good story, please share it with us here.
