So I’ve finally caught up on my sleep and can give you the details on this past weekend’s events. And man, what a weekend. I was surrounded by friends and family and book lovers of all ages. Who could want for more?
Friday marked the “official” launch of my new novel, The Lost Souls of Island X, and the party took place at Christianne’s Lyceum, the perfect, comfy venue for a book launch. Rob from Tinker’s Hatch bakery provided the gorgeous pirate cookies (see photos below), and the Lyceum got us all in the spirit crafting ara pins. SUCH. FUN. Huge thanks to all who came out to celebrate the new book.
After that, I had a day’s rest (or rather, a day to hang out with out-of-town guests) before Vancouver’s Word on the Street festival. If you live in the area and didn’t make it out to this grand festival of books and authors, well, shame on you. But do come next year. It’s a fantastic event. My stint in the kids tent was great fun, and I got to check out other excellent authors as well, like the talented Bren Simmers, whose new book of poetry, Night Gears, is gorgeous and delightful.
Here are a few photos from the weekend! Enjoy!
