Still busy getting the word out about my new novel, Performance Reviews.
If you’re in the Toronto area, and you want to buy the book, but you don’t want to support Amazon… well, you’re in luck, you are.
This Saturday, I’m doing an event at Indigo (Bay/Bloor location, by the Manulife Centre).
Starting at noon, they’re letting me have a table where I can promote the book and sell it, and even sign it for folks after they buy it. Drop by anytime and say hey. I plan to be there until I either run out of copies or get bored.
If you want to go to the Indigo thing, but can’t…
I’ll be doing another one at Coles (Beach location) on March 7, starting around 10:30 in the morning. And here’s a little secret I’ll tell you about the Coles event: if I sell more than ten copies of Performance Reviews, they’ll let me stock a few copies in the store for a while, on consignment. So tell your book-loving friends. And if you already have the book, well, it also makes a great gift…
But that’s not all.
I’ve already told you Performance Reviews is available from Book City’s Beach location.
And now… you can also get it at two other Book City locations:
Book City in Greektown (Danforth near Chester station)

Book City in midtown (Yonge near St. Clair)

And Performance Reviews is also available at Queen Books (Queen East near Carlaw).

One more thing:
Remember back when I won the MoonLit Getaway short-fiction contest, and I mentioned that a second story, “CanLit Book Club”, was shortlisted in the same contest, and would be published on the website in February?
Well. Now it’s February. And here’s the story.
Feel free to forward it to any snobbish CanLit gatekeeper types you may know. Let’s see if they’re capable of laughing at themselves.
In the meantime, “The Madness East of St. George” (the contest winner) is going to be in MoonLit Getaway’s upcoming anthology, Harvest Moon, Volume Two. More info to come on that.
I think that’s it for now.
In the meantime, I miss Catherine O’Hara, don’t you? Here’s one of my all-time favourite SCTV bits, a brilliant Ingmar Bergman parody, with O’Hara prominently featured:
Take a tizzy. Also, leave a tizzy.
