Paying Tribute

While Words of the Season has been postponed until spring, the March Readathon is coming up for The Literacy Council (Isabella's Chocolate Shop, Oshawa, March 26); and the WCDR breakfast on March 12 (check it out: http://www.wcdr.org/).

In other news, Sunnybrook Hospital is publishing my poem, At Vimy Ridge, in their Veterans Centre newsletter next month.  I am honoured to have this tribute delivered to the men and women who served this country. 

In June, I will be at the Historical Novel Society conference in San Diego.  I am looking forward to the costumes, the Saturday night 'romance' reading (think of a three letter word to describe this) and no doubt all the quaffing that goes along with such an event.  Mostly, I look forward to interacting with fellow historical fiction writers, editors and publishers.  So much to learn and so much fun to be had!  Is this a cool  business or what?
