Happy Canuck Day!

I was trying to think of what I could do to mark the event and have decided to hold a parade here in NYC. I’ll put on my toque, sing RUSH songs in my best Torontonian twang, and march to the nearest Tim Horton’s while body checking a few people along the way.

YA author John Green risks a sprained hand in exceptional marketing move

I’ve only done a few signings so far along with bookplates so I really haven’t had to put my hand to the test, but YA author John Green has committed to what is likely to be a mammoth task. He’s offered to sign every pre-ordered copy of his next book. That announcement shot the book up to #1 on Amazon and B&N.

Falling Skies debuts tonight

Anyone else going to watch Falling Skies tonight? It stars Noah Wylie, ex of E.R. and those fun, if campy, The Librarian movies. Here’s the link to the show’s website – http://www.tnt.tv/series/microsite/fallingskies/?SR=sr3_522014_go

Been a nice day in NYC. I got in a run in the park, hit the gym, made my own breakfast for a change, and have been puttering and writing.
