Roll up, roll up for the Canada Fest!

Back from another U.K. jaunt, during which I rocked five cities, upgraded a few more online acquaintances to IRL friends, and saw some of the best live theatre in the world.
And now, I’m back to do service to my own country.

Canada Fiction Fest is a new online literary festival featuring fiction writers from across the nation.
It starts this Sunday, June 21 and runs all the way to July 4… and I’m going to be a part of it.

First, this Monday at noon EST, I’m taking part in the panel “Small But Mighty: Canadian Perspectives on the Publishing Industry”, with Andy Taylor and Peggy Blair.

Then, on the following Friday (also at noon EST), you can see and hear me read from my most recent novel, Performance Reviews. The same showcase features Margaret Sweatman, Sheila James, and Alison Gadsby.

And it’s free! It’s all free.
Go to this link to register for these and many more events.

And if you’re not bored of me by then…

On Thursday, July 9, I’m doing another online feature at Parkland Poets, a literary series based in Alberta, with both a live and an online component.

The event also features Katharine Weinmann and Jamal e fatima Rafat, plus an open mic. 9:00 p.m. EST. Click here to get the Zoom link and password.
