WOTS 2008

An amazing, gorgeous, sunny day. I could only stay an hour as I had a plane to catch, but here are some random impressions...

Illustrator, CWILL BC member and now Canadian Children's Book Centre rep Cynthia Nugent chats with a fan.



Crowd shot of folks listening to poetry being read. And in the centre of it all? Vancouver Poet Laureate George McWhirter (in the very fetching cap).

At the Canadian Authors Association booth, author and president Margaret Hume chats with an aspiring writer.

CWILL BC's author Meg Tilly chats about her new book FIRST TIME with Vancouver author Susan Juby.

I wish I could have stayed longer!

Word On The Street...

Busy Day tomorrow.


I head off to Castlegar on the first leg of my tour of the Kootenays.

But before that?

I'll be at Word On The Street in downtown Vancouver, round about the main branch of the library on Georgia (from Homer to Hamilton at Library Square).

I love WOTS, and it looks like a sunny day for it this year. Books, readings, games, food -- an amazing day. Free admission, too -- it's a street fair! (I'll sure be missing my usual companion, but as she's off having a great time at Queen's, I'll forgive her for standing me up.)

I'll be at the CWILL BC booth from 11 to noon.

Come say hi!
