In a few short weeks, my new novel Letters from Gerald will go to press. Before the book goes on sale I thought I would give you a hint of what is to come. Click on the link to go to the announcement by Friesen Press.
Writing a novel was a great deal of fun but I have had to learn about how to market the book. I have begun to line up talks and interviews to coincide with the publication release. For those of you who live in Vancouver or plan to visit in the end of June, I will be speaking at the VanDusen Gardens about how gardens inspired my conservation work on birds and the writing of Letters from Gerald. You can register on line.
Another talk I will be giving that is not directly related to the novel but all about birds is Birds in Fact and Fiction. The talk will be only about half an hour about some fun and odd myths about birds. How do robins catch earthworms? Do magpies collect shiny objects? Bring your questions and I will try to answer them. The talk is part of The Greater Vancouver Bird Celebration kick off at VanDusen Gardens in Vancouver on May 10th at 6 pm. Some of you might remember a few years ago when I took calls on CBC Radio’s North by Northwest show in Vancouver about birds. I am hoping to have as much fun at VanDusen at the Bird Celebration.
A trailer and other events that are in the works will be posted soon. Suggestions from readers are always welcome.
