I had a great time (re)launching The Night Girl at Words Worth Books today. This bookstore has been a tireless champion of local writers and is truly a boon to the community. For today's celebration, they gave me a table with an excellent display of my books, while I brought in a very nice cake from the Cake Box in Kitchener. I gave my reading, cut the cake, and stayed on for a while to engage other customers. It's amazing how the presence of free cake makes that easier.
A lot of people complimented the book on its cover (thanks Bibliofic!), and the reading went over very well. Thanks to Ed Willett at Shadowpaw for taking this book on, giving it Canadian spelling and a new lease on life, thanks to Words Worth Books for making me feel welcome and giving my launch a great boost, and thanks to everybody who came out and shared time with me.
Next up is Toronto. Look for me at Bakka-Phoenix Books at 6 p.m. on Thursday, September 18, and I'll be bringing more cake!
