Kobo Emerging Writers Shortlist; Summer/Fall events


More Last of the Independents news: it's been shortlisted for the Kobo Emerging Writer Prize! If I were prone to emoticons, this would be a "double smiley face atop a blinking kitty riding a skateboard"! As it is, it's a tremendous honor. Check out the shortlist press release here.

The novel is also nominated for a Crime Writers of Canada award for Best First Novel. The ceremony is tomorrow, in Toronto, and while I wish I could be there, I am stuck marking summaries and preparing midterms. In any case, win or lose, I'm very moved by the support CWC has shown me. Last of the Independents won the Best Unpublished First Novel Award in 2012; to see the book now in the Best First Novel category is unbelievable. It's ourageous. I'm the luckiest.

There's a bunch of stuff scheduled for the summer and fall, and more in the works. I've updated the Events Page. Check back regularly. Thanks for reading this.
