Book Expo Plans
Last year, SHADES OF RED, (the final novel in my Eagle Glen trilogy) was selected by the Canadian Children's Book Centre as an "Our Choice Selection". This made me eligible to promote my new book with them this year at Book Expo in Toronto.
Travelling east for three days may, to some people, seem a little extreme in exchange for five minutes of book promotion, but some authors will do anything for a little face time. So, I'll be there. Watch for my reading at the Canadian Children's Book Centre area at around 1:20 in the afternoon. (Since I'll have flown all night to get there, you'll be able to pick me out as the only sleep-reading author present.)
Edited to add that I have just found out my good buddy Marsha Skrypuch will be reading from her book shortly after me. (I think she will be reading from ARAM'S CHOICE, her latest marvellous book.) You can be assured Marsha will NOT be sleep-reading.
More details closer to the time.

Hi Karen,
I didn't know this! Flight from Bear Canyon was a an Our Choice selection...but I can't remember now if that was last year, or the year before.
Two books out this season, one next...I was hoping for an invite from either Penguin or Orca, but it looks like it is not to be. Ah well. Have a blast!
Hey Anita!
There was just a note sent through the CANSCAIP listserv, as I recall, asking people who were interested to let them know. I do know there wasn't room for everyone, which is too bad. But I'm looking forward to it, all the same!

This makes sense, as Our Choice is a CANSCAIP project. You have a blast--so well deserved!
Wait a minute...where did I leave my brain? Our Choice is a Canadian Children's Book Centre program! I knew that. I really did.
Go to sleep now, Anita.
Yes -- it was a CCBC endeavour, but I'm pretty sure it came through on the CANSCAIP listserv. Sometimes it's hard to tell how these things arrive in my inbox. The route is so circuitous, it would be a good way to launder money!
