My latest YA novel, Living Rough, has arrived! I opened the box yesterday and now need to finalize the book launch(es)!!! Now that I have two books published, I can say it is still just as exciting to receive the next batch...

Please join me on October 27th, 2011 for the launch of 'Living Rough' (Orca Currents). The event takes place at the Pelican Rouge Coffee Shop (15142 North Bluff Road, White Rock, BC) and doors open at 7pm, with the reading and author talk beginning at 7:30pm. Copies of 'Benched' and 'Living Rough' will be available for purchase through Kidsbooks.

Door prizes and activities for teens! Please bring a canned good for the local South Surrey/White Rock Food Bank. Hope to see you there!

On November 17th, 2011 four authors will launch their new YA novels for reluctant readers. Christy Goerzen, Nikki Tate, K. L. Denman and Cristy Watson will be on hand to read from their newest works and to answer questions about the books, the writing process, and becoming published. Refreshments will be served.

This event takes place at the South Surrey Kidsbooks: 'The Boulevard at South Point Exchange', 15033 - 32nd Ave (604-541-9939). Doors open at 7pm! Bring your teens and youngsters for a great evening of fun! To find out more about these authors, visit the Orca Book Publishers site: http://www.orcabook.com/showproducts....

Just had two great author visits to LLED classes at UBC for Teacher-Candidates. The audiences were wonderful and asked great questions on the art of writing and on the targeted audience of reluctant readers. Shared a new web page from Orca with them, as well: http://orcabook.com/reluctantreaders/...
