Yes, dear readers, I’m back! I’ve done my miles and kept my promises, (i.e. my extracurricular writing is done) so here I am. You’ll be able to view some of my work on-line in the very near future. Details on that as they become available.
A couple of weeks ago, I was perusing the FaceBook page for BookFest Windsor 2012, and there was a picture of a pile of books, their titles turned toward the camera. These books were to go to the moderators of the different panels and talks at BookFest, but someone had accidentally put two of the same book in the pile, and they wondered if anyone could spot the duplicate. Why yes, yes I could! And I gave them my answer. (As skill-testing questions go, this one wasn’t all that taxing.) Then I wrote them back and half-joking said, “Hey, I should get a prize for that, don’tcha think? How about a free copy of the book?” They very kindly said, “Well, we’ll see what we can mooch for ya.” And that was the end of that.
Or so I thought. On Wednesday, one of the organizers of BookFest sent me an email telling me that because I had won the contest (I didn’t even know it was a contest!) they were sending me a free pass to BookFest! Oh my gosh! I can attend all of the events all weekend long – Oct. 25 – 27! They also dubbed me “BookFest’s Superfan-at-large.” I told them that I take my role as Superfan very seriously. Although I can’t jump tall buildings in a single bound (it takes me two or three bounds…and a helicopter), nor can I stop a speeding bullet (I’ve always found it wiser to duck speeding bullets) I promised to promote truth, justice and BookFest Windsor 2012 at every opportunity.
Please, everyone, check out www.bookfestwindsor.com and their FaceBook page for a list of the authors who will be attending, and if you can possibly attend yourself, don’t hesitate! You’ll be glad you did!
