Finally! The long-awaited novel (well, long awaited by me, anyway) The Lost Souls of Island X, my sequel to The Ship of Lost Souls, has left its big old warehouse and is on its way to bookstores across the nation! Whee! Apparently, it will have reached all its destinations by mid-September, but someone (who may or may not be a blood relation) told me that her favourite Edmonton store promises to have it in by the end of August. So. Exciting.
And look! If you click here you can peruse part of the novel yourself, thanks to the good folks at HarperCollins Canada.
I’ll be launching the book in two lovely cities – Vancouver on September 24th and Edmonton on October 7th. Details to come. I’ll also be reading from it at Vancouver’s Word on the Street festival on September 26th. Details for that to come too.
I think it’s time to break out some champagne, no? Except it’s 8 am, so that would be a problem. Or rather, one might argue that I have a problem if I did that. A celebratory cupcake will have to do. It’s never too early for cupcakes.

Huzzah! Huzzah! I can’t wait for the opening. Will there be GF pirate ship cupcakes? Because if not, someone should get on that business.
