Heading off to Lakefield Literary Festival

vickigrant — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 12:09:57 +0000

I’ll be doing something a little different on my holiday in the Kawarthas this year. I’m going to take a break from Scrabble, swimming and, of course, endless painting in order to return to civilization long enough to give a reading at the Lakefield Literary Festival (11:30 on Saturday, July 16).

Not Suitable for Family Viewing will be my ‘headliner’ but I’ll also be introducing a new YA novel, Betsy Wickwire’s Dirty Secret. (Hopefully, I might even have some actual copies of it in my hands by then…)

I’m paired up with the amazing Kevin Sylvester, author of The Neil Flambe Capers so it should be fun.

Hope to see you there.

Pigboy gets a makeover

Pigboy's new cover has Maximum impact

Isn’t this great? My 9-year old friend, Maximum Brauch, wasn’t keen on Pigboy’s cover so he designed one himself. He even wrote new copy for the back and drew a rather flattering picture of the author.

Max gave me two copies of his artwork. The one I’m holding here I’ll use as a book jacket.

The other one I’m going to frame.
