I’m thrilled to see A Russian Sister on this list of “Books That Shaped 2020.” Read the whole list and listen to the podcast here.

One of the Festival’s signature events year after year, The Afternoon Tea returns in digital format! Bring your favourite scones and tea and sidle up for an afternoon steeped in words, including readings from celebrated international and Canadian authors making this year’s Must Read lists: Caroline Adderson (A Russian Sister); Francesca Ekwuyasi (Butter Honey Pig Bread); Will Ferguson (The Finder); Michelle Good (Five Little Indians) Kevin Spenst (Hearts Amok); and Jack Wang (We Two Alone). Relaxing, jovial and always an instant sell-out and book club favourite, this year’s Afternoon Tea remains an intimate, delectable affair. Get your tickets here.

What a treat it was to record this event with Geeta Das, Musical Director for the Whistler Writers Festival, and her band. You can watch this line-up of ten writers reading to brilliantly improvised music. Register here.

How wonderful to spend an hour chatting with Dede Crane and Shaena Lambert: three women writers talking about our biographical novels featuring three fascinating women from history: Masha Chekhova, sister of Anton Chekhov; painter Berthe Morisot; and founder of the Green Party, Petra Kelly. Register here.

I’m delighted to be participating in the Winnipeg International Writers Festival, the on-line Covid edition!

I’m thrilled to be participating in a rare in-person event with Shaena Lambert, June Hutton & Tony Wanless, Danny Peart and Lenore Rowntree. While the in-person tickets are sold out, you can still watch on Zoom. NOTE THE NEW DATE. This is possibly the only rain delay of the literary season. Don’t miss it! Please register here.
