Just a short post today to let you know my newest book is out! My copies came in the mail a week ago and are making their way into stores. I don’t want to sound neurotic, but I’m terrified to read my books once they’re published, in case I find a typo. So I assign my husband and daughters the task of proofreading. To date I’ve received one “all’s clear” with two reviews pending.
My book is called The Witch of Bloor Street and here’s what it’s about:
Sixth-grader Maggie Ito believes she has been cursed by “The Witch of Bloor Street”. While her friends all seem to be best at something, Maggie believes the curse is keeping her from being best at anything. Her attempts to break it become increasingly far-fetched, but her luck is still bad. With the help of her friends and a supportive teacher, Maggie finds confidence in her own abilities and the strength to confront her “witch.”
If you know any 6- to 10- year olds who might enjoy this book, you can buy online through
Chapters or
Amazon. Some local bookstores, including
The Book Mark and
Book City (Bloor West) have also ordered them in to sell. And for my friends in the Toronto area, I’ll post the dates for my signings as soon as I know.
Thanks to James Lorimer & Company, who have published all three of my books. And thanks to my wonderful writing friends -- Trish, Carla, Nancy, Rob, Louise and Paula. Without your support and advice, none of this would be possible!
