Reading at Novel Idea – April 21st

Posted on Apr 4, 2018 | 0 comments

I’ll be reading at Novel Idea on April 21st, from 6PM to 8PM, with my friend Bruce Geddes. He’ll read from his newly launched novel, The Higher The Monkey Climbs. I’ll talk about my work in progress, a follow up to Bottle and Glass, and read an excerpt or two, to prove I’m still plugging away and haven’t given up.

I’ve known Bruce since 2008 when we both attended the Humber College Creative Writing program. Over the years we’ve exchanged manuscripts and given each other feedback on our ongoing projects. He’s always given me very honest, insightful, and useful comments. Hopefully I’ve done the same for him! However, over these 10 years we’ve never met face to face. So, it will be fun to finally meet him and hear him read in person.

Join us for wine, cheese, desserts, and a bit of new fiction!

Beware of false news!

I’ve been reading about the events leading up to the Glorious Revolution and the overthrow of James II from the throne. What’s great is that you can read issues of the London Gazette from that time and follow the events as they happened (some digital versions are easier to read than others). In the October 29, 1688 issue I came across this interesting warning against fake news. The preoccupations of would-be tyrants 350 years ago seem no different than those of today. In the words of David Byrne, same as it ever was.
