Canada Day News Round-Up

on July 1, 2012

What I would like to be doing on Canada Day

It’s Canada Day! I am a proud Canadian, and today I am especially proud of three cool news pieces:

Just in time for Canada Day, check out this stellar line-up of Canadian authors, as recommended by Danielle at Bookish Notions, including L.M. Montgomery, Kit Pearson, Kenneth Oppel, and ME! I had to double-check to ensure that yes indeed, that was my name there included with some of personal Canadian faves.

Can’t get enough Canada? Be sure to check out the Canada Day Blog Hop! Celebrating Canadian bloggers and Canadian authors, there are lots of great Canadian books up for grabs. For a complete list of participating blogs, click here. If you’re looking for a copy of one of my books, be sure to drop by Just A Lil Lost, who has included WORDS THAT START WITH B among her prizes!

I was also thrilled to be among the varied young professionals in the Oxford Shopping News’ Top 40 Under 40, published this weekend. Click here to check out the piece and be sure to read all about the other nominees. Reading through the profiles, one thing became very clear: hard work and passion is a killer combination. Thank you to the anonymous angel out there who submitted my name, I’m truly honoured to be included in such a stellar list.

Happy Canada Day everyone!
