Piece by Piece: Stories about fitting into Canada

Hi Everyone,

Earlier this year I was approached by Teresa Toten, a wonderful YA author, to contribute a non-fiction piece for an anthology she was editing...a piece of me!

I agreed immediately!

This is the cover of the book, published by Penguin Canada, of fourteen Canadians' experiences about fitting into Canada. It has been twelve years since I immigrated and reminiscing about it made me realize how far I had come and how much I had learned along the way.

It is a pleasure to be able to share this journey with all of you.


Piece by Piece will be available in March 2010.

Hello!

Hope everyone had a great summer. I did!

Finished a draft of the last book in The Tara Trilogy and completed final edits for The Silver Anklet which will be released on December 12, 2009.

But for anyone who can't wait that long, I will be doing a reading and signing at McNally Robinson (The Shops at Don Mills) on November 19, 2009 at 7 pm. Join me for a sneak peek of what's coming up, as the adventure continues in The Silver Anklet.

Go here for more information.

See you soon!
