Vino Novellus - March 19, Cafe Books, Canmore

Friday, February 19th, 2010

So it is on! The first En Vino Novellus in Canmore.

March 19th at Café Books in Canmore. & PM, open and free for all.

We have eight authors reading from their books, while sipping from eight wines. This should be very fun. Here are the authors:

  • Karsten Heuer - Finding Farley - this is not available yet, as it has not been published. A work in progress and a real treat!
  • Robert Sandford - Restoring the Flow
  • Lynn Martel - Expedition to the Edge
  • Stephen Bown - Merchant Kings - first reading in Canmore!
  • Samantha Warwick - Sage Island
  • Helen Rose - 53 Grove Road
  • Jocey Asnong - Nuptse and Lohtse in Nepal
  • Jerry Auld - Hooker & Brown

Might damn cool, eh?

Between Atwood and Austen

The book is finally showing up in all Chapters stores, I guess it takes awhile to pass through the order-distribution system. I must say it is satisfying to walk in a see it on the shelf there between Margaret and Jane.

eBook as Future?

Finally the spam has stopped, so I am happy to pass this little bit along: Charlie Brooker, a regular curmudgeon with the Guardian writes about the conversion from paper-love to eBook reading … but he figures on advantages that most of us have probably never considered:

Spam City

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Getting drifted over with spam, so I’ll be blocking all comments for awhile. Things are too busy with the new book and Hooker & Brown promotion to do much blogging anyway.

The Vino Novellus is starting to shape together and look good - I have eight great Canmore authors and some real surprises. It will be held March 19th (Friday) at 7 PM at Café Books, and Brendan Glass of the Canmore Wine Merchants is starting to do the matching.

In other news, I will be on book tour, a short stint, out to Nelson and Fernie in two weeks, which will be fun. Must take my skis.
