What a month. July saw me tour Invisible Dead from Vancouver to Edmonton, Calgary, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa...it was exhausting, but a lot of fun. Thanks to all the writers, book store owners, and everyone else who helped facilitate this trip.
Here's my schedule of events for August, most in Vancouver or its surrounding area:
August 1st: CBC Radio interview, the Stephen Quinn Show
August 2nd: Harmony Arts Festival, West Vancouver, Crime Fiction panel with Ian Hamilton and William Deverell, moderated by Robin Spano
August 6th: Black Bond Books in Maple Ridge, BC with Cathy Ace, Allan Emerson and others
August 13th: Black Bond Books in Central City, Surrey, BC with Cathy Ace, Allan Emerson and others
August 20th: Kamloops Library
Here's a book recommendation: John McFetridge's One or the Other is officially released today. It's a great procedural set in Montreal at the tail end of the seventies. I can also recommend Viet Than Nguyen's The Sympathizer, which was a really interesting spy novel that's won a boatload of awards. Both books are interested in the ways that the victimized become victimizers.
Thanks for reading this,
Sam
