The day after the Indigo Teen Read Awards, I read at Word on the Street in Toronto. It was really fun. What a festival! It’s now held in Queen’s Park, which is a great venue. And it was PACKED with people. And my tent was full for my reading, which was quite a different scene from 2008, when I read at Vancouver’s Word on the Street with “Word Nerd” … perhaps more people know my work? When I read in Vancouver, there were about ten people there – and at least eight were family members and friends. Right near the end of my reading, the tent started to fill up – I was filled with pleasure – till I realized they were all there to see Susan Juby and Meg Tilly …:-) Seriously – both Susan Juby and Meg Tilly are awesome women.
Thanks to my relatives for sending these photos. When I was done Word on the Street my dear Mom drove me to Porter Air, where I hopped onto a plane for Ottawa … but more on my Ottawa/Winnipeg adventures to follow!
