My comics talk at Fairview Branch here in Toronto was a hit, or as one participant said: “totally awesome!” About 50 kids crammed into the library’s meeting room for a fun-filled hour of Max Finder Mystery crime-busting and comic making. Thanks to Susan and Iman for helping make my visit a success.
But that was Wednesday. I know you’re all dying to know what I did yesterday. Well, I met fellow kids writer Marty Chan for a bit of lunch and author-type conversation. Marty is a writer across many media and I admire that. In addition to writing a series of kids books, he also writes for radio, TV and the stage. That’s why he’s in Toronto and not his home in Edmonton. His new one-person show, God’s Eye, will be read at this weekend’s Dim Sum Festival happening at the Harbourfront Centre. Admission is free and it’s suitable for kids, so bring the whole family!
It was a lot of fun to meet Marty and another step in me shedding my old hermit habits, which I think is called growth.
Ok, back to work for me. Deadlines to meet.
Great to meet you as well. Did you force yourself to write in the afternoon?

Nope! I ended up browsing bookstores for an hour or so after our lunch and by the time I got home I was too beat to do anything but turn on the playstation. (life’s tough, I know.)
