Yippee! I've been invited to Winnipeg's international writing festival Thin Air for a (yes, yes, yes) Mainstage event. That's such great news, and Body Trade isn't even on the shelves yet. There seems to be gathering energy around this work. I hope it all pans out. The closer the pub date, the more nervous I get. I have to trust that it really can carry the content and that my characters are true and believable. Such good news about the festival. These are opportunities to meet other authors, sell lots of books and generally get your name out there. I'm heading to the Alberta Literary Awards this weekend, so it should also be a good time to promo the book. I love the outer part of writing, once a project is finished and you can take it out. I once likened it to bringing your new baby out to meet the neighbours. I'm pumped about the festival circuit. Such fun!! Hopefully I'll get to go to a couple of others. There is such a small window when a work comes out. It's great to poke your head up from the computer and recognize all these amazing people are out there, interested in what you've been writing. Or not....but I won't go there. Not yet.
