Been thinking of trying book 2 in The Adventures of Owl? Or maybe still thinking of trying the whole series or gifting one to a friend? Well, now is your chance! OWL AND THE CITY OF ANGELS ebook is 0.99$ at both Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com. Best part? That means both ebooks (Owl and the Japanese Circus & Owl and the City of Angels) are only $6.98.
USA only I'm afraid. I will keep my eyes peeled for Canadian and International deals!

Huge thanks to The Ottawa International Writers Festival and Random House Canada for making my attendance possible!
Phew - I've had a crazy-busy summer and early fall. Between The Voodoo Killings release, a cross country book tour, and a recent to a tropical paradise in the middle of no where (research for a new book- first draft done), I've had a busy plate. Oh yes, and for you Owl fans, I also handed in Owl 3, Owl and the Electric Samurai.
So, without further ado, time to catch up with photos. Below are the highlights from my amazing XCanada trip with my good friend and fellow author Alex Renwick.
Coles Bookstore in Nelson BC - I'm showing off The Voodoo Killings and some of my thrift store finds (hat and scarf). We hit second hand/thrift stores in every city we visited. (photo by Alex Renwick).
After Nelson, Medicine Hat, Alberta! With more thrift store finds (silk scarf). (Photo Alex Renwick)
Chapters in Regina, Sask. Alex at the table the folks at Chapters had set up! Definitely a warm welcome!
Pelicans! On the Saskatchewan River.
Took this photo leaning out the car window on the way to Winnipeg...gives you an idea what's in the middle of Canada.
Winnipeg! With Chadwick Ginther at The University of Winnipeg Bookstore. (Photo Alex Renwick)
At the Chapters in Thunder Bay! We reached Ontario!
In beautiful southern Ontario at a rest stop. I'd forgotten just how gorgeous Souther Ontario was in summer. (photo Alex Renwick).
Stealth signing my books at the Rideau Chapters in Ottawa! (photo Alex Renwick).

Photo from Southern Accent in Toronto - great tapas and a Voodoo themed bathroom which I'm standing in.
Tune in later this week for my Cook Island trip - I finished a couple drafts and caught fish. There is a video and it will be posted!
A few months ago I had the honour of talking with Shelagh Rogers on The Next Chapter at CBC Radio. For those not in the know, Shelagh is an institution to the Canadian writing community, profiling and interviewing Canadian authors about their work. If you've never tuned in, definitely worth a listen! You can listen to the 12 minute interview and read highlights here or by clicking the image below.
Fun fact: I ended up having to run down Georgia Street at 8:55 am in downtown Vancouver to make the interview due to a late running train. Why was the commuter train running late? Because that morning it hit a very unfortunate bear. Only in British Columbia.
