Silver and gold, at Parkland and Coles

Hello out there in InternetLand.
Happy Canada Day. I’ve got a couple of events coming up next week, but first…

Canada Fiction Fest is still on, although my own events have already passed. I did a panel on publishing on the 22nd, and a reading from my novel Performance Reviews on the past Friday. If you missed seeing them live, never fear! You can still watch the recordings on YouTube:

Next Thursday, July 9, I’ll be doing another online poetry feature, this time with Parkland Poets, which I believe is based in Alberta.
I’ll perform a ten-minute set, along with fellow features Katharine Weinmann and Jamal e fatima Rafat. There’s an open mic too, so bring something of your own to read. Hosted by Scott Alderson.

The event starts at 9:00 p.m. EST, or 7:00 p.m. Alberta time.
Get the Zoom link for the event at this web page.

And then, on Saturday the 11th, I’ll be back at Coles (Toronto Beach location, 2169 Queen Street East) with copies of Performance Reviews, signing and selling the things. Drop by anytime after 10:30 a.m., say hi, buy the book if you don’t have it yet…

If you can’t drop by the store on the 11th, but you want to get a copy of Performance Reviews… never fear! It’s already on the shelf for purchase. See?

Also available at three Book City locations, as well as Queen Books…
and now, people in Worcester, England can get it at my friend Leena Batchelor’s bookstore, Script Haven, in the Crown Passage! Along with my 2022 debut, Hate Story! Go gettem.

Since it’s Canada Day, I shall end with a Canada.

Take off, eh. Hoser. (This is exactly how we talk)
