Dief's day is almost here!

My book on John Diefenbaker is finally done. There have been so many false starts; it is hard to really believe that it's finally happening, and that one day real soon the bus will stop and drop off a box of my books!! I am waiting, as they say, with bated breath.

Four of Jackfruit's Warts and All series books including John Diefenbaker: The outside who refused to quit, Sir Wilfred Laurier: The weakling who stood his ground, by Heather Grace Stewart, William Lyon Mackenzie King: The loner who kept Canada together, and Jean Chretien: The scrapper who climbed his way to the top both by Nate Hendley, were launched at a ghostly gala on February 20th, in Toronto. Regretfully I wasn't able to make it out for the night.


But Dief's real big day is still to come. On March 14, at 7:30 pm, I will launch him, at a hopefully packed party, at Laurie Greenwoods Volume Two, 12433 - 102 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta. Hint, hint - all are invited. It should be great fun. Writer's cramp here we come. Might as well think positive, right?

Also anyone interested in Writing for Magazines - I have a class at Metro, running May 6 and 13, 2006.
