Spring is on its way and in addition to bringing more writing projects, it also sees me heading out to Whitby, Ontario to be a guest at Words in Whitby 2006. The annual celebration of authors takes place on April 7, 8 and 9 at the Centennial Building in Whitby.
The three day celebration of authors is hosted by acclaimed journalist Ted Barris and will feature many fine Canadian authors, Wayson Choy and David Gilmour to name just two, so I am very honoured to be invited.
I’ll be appearing during the children’s program, and reading from my Pet Tales picture books. It all happens on Sunday April 9th from 1 to 3 pm. I’ll be joined by fellow children’s writer Sharon Jennings, the author of over 11 picture books including Mrs. Ming, which received a Governor General’s Award for illustration. Hosting the children’s program is actor and writer Neil Crone (whose blog is definitely worth checking out.)
This will be the first time I attend an authors festival as an author, so I’m very excited. Now, I just have to practice reading my own books for the big day!
Visit the Words in Whitby website for more information on the weekend festival.
