August 2013 Events

On August 13, Doubleday Canada will publish my second novel, Muse, as a trade paperback, with French flaps and rough edges. You can pre-order copies for $17 at Indigo online and Amazon.ca If you buy one for a friend at the same time, the shipping is free.

I’ll post the links to the bloggers’ sites as soon as I have the dates and details.
