Two weeks in Ontario! Has it really been more than a week since I arrived back from a whirlwind author’s tour in which I spoke at schools in London, Whitby and Ottawa? Great schools, libraries and students! Wonderful staff! And such great questions from the students! Best of all, I attended the Festival of Trees book awards, at which I was a nominee. Which means I got to hobnob with fellow nominees and autograph copies of my nominated Tundra novel First Descent for some of the 5,000 students who thronged the Harbourfront Centre and hopefully enjoyed themselves all day. For more information on the event, check out: www.accessola.com/forest Now I’m back home, super-busy putting the finishing touches on two more books, and waiting for the mid-July release of my newest book (for parents and educators), Jump-Starting Boys Hope everyone’s having a great spring!
