20 years ago this person came into my world and changed me more than I could ever have imagined. I am in awe of him and the person he is today, and I am so lucky to be his mom. Had a delightful weekend in Bayfield ON for the @alicemunro_festival. Walked on the beach, ate pickerel tacos, and was on a fun panel with @skalibooks, @chantelguertin, moderated by the amazing @biancamarais_author. Met new friends, caught up with old, and all in all had a wonderful time. Thank you to Bayfield and the festival organizers for their hospitality! I handed in a book today— the 8th time I’ve handed in a book to book to a publisher. Climbing that hill never gets old. I can’t wait for it to join these on my favourite shelf. Look at this picture snapped in a Walmart!!! Thrilled to see Jana Goes Wild on the shelf! And right next to another Canadian author, the lovely @kellybowen09’s book! She’s also a fellow @readforeverpub author! ✨💫Out Today!!!💫✨ We’re finally almost here! Even if the Sky is Falling is out tomorrow!!! Yesterday I did something I’ve been wanting to do for years. I went inside the R. C. Harris Water Treatment Plant. Why? This is a working water treatment facility and one of the coolest buildings in Toronto architecturally. I’ve passed it so many times, and always said I’d love to see inside it one day. And now, thanks to Doors Open Toronto, I have! It was gorgeous! Exceeded my expectations! Had an such an amazing time at Word on the Street yesterday that I forgot to take pictures! Saw so many friends, met so many readers, and had an all around a perfect day! Thank you to @skalibooks for such a great conversation! I could have talked to you all day! Hello! You may or may not have noticed that I’ve been a bit absent here lately except for promo posts. I’ve been dealing with some physical issues for the last three months that has made life very difficult. But things are getting better and I see light at the end of the tunnel! So I’m back!
