Congratulations to Philippa Dowding for her inclusion in the 2013 White Raven catalogue for The Gargoyle at the Gates.

I have stacks of books around the house at any given time, and read them according to what's imminently due back at the library.

Currently:

How Music Works, by David Byrne - as big as a textbook, but fascinating. It's so dense it has taken me a while to get through it, but I mean dense in a good way...  it's the kind of book you keep setting down to think about what you've just read. Both wide-ranging and personal, and fascinating even if you aren't a massive Talking Heads fan like me.

Today we have an interview with Nancy Runstedler, author of the very new release Beautiful Goodbye. Nancy grew up in Wellesley, Ontario. She has worked in both public and school libraries. Though her home library is overflowing with books, she intends to keep collecting. She lives with her daughter in Paris, Ontario. Today Nancy tells us about her new book, her idea writing environment, what she's currently reading, and what she's working on next!

Kristin Butcher, author of Truths I Learned From Sam, sits down with us to tell us about her most recent book, which character she's most attached to, what her new project is along with a couple of other things!

Caitlyn: Tell us about your book.

Flutter flutter flutter!

Great White Fleet by John Henry is praised by Montreal Gazette for being a “Porthole into our passenger ship past.”

Congratulations to Philippa Dowding on her nomination for the 2013-2014 Hackmatack Children’s Choice Book Award for The Gargoyle at the Gates.
