My first-ever book signing event for ‘A Case Against the Clock’ is in the books! By all measures, the day was a resounding success in terms of books sold, overall attendance and lively conversation. A heartfelt thank you to my family, friends and fellow authors who showed up to buy my novel and to offer their support. A special thanks to Melissa Kargus and Michelle Taylor of Indigo Kanata for arranging this event and for their unwavering support for local authors; to Emma, Jaret and Barbie for making the long trek; and to Chi Chi Nguyen for going the extra mile in spreading the word. It was fun meeting readers and talking books, authors, writing, stories, publishing and the written word. For every book sold, I’ll be donating $1.00 (CAN) to ALS Canada.

TV Appearance on Daytime Ottawa (Rogers)
A heartfelt thank you to Daytime Ottawa host, Derick Fage, and the entire volunteer crew for the opportunity to be on the show on Friday April 12th. This was my first ever live TV appearance, discussing my debut crime thriller novel, A Case Against the Clock, and the history of ALS in my family. Derick and crew could not have been more courteous and accommodating. Derick’s engaging personality and professionalism made the interview seem effortless. I’m grateful to Derick and to the talented volunteers working behind the scenes for making this such a wonderful and memorable ‘on-air’ experience. It was also a pleasure meeting the other guests prior to the show - @siskphoto and @fitwithjulesnow. My segment begins at the 49-minute mark.
