The tail end of summer and the transition into the dazzlingly vibrant colours and cooler temperatures of fall time, believe it or not, is most certainly one of my favourite times of the year. Although I bid adieu to the lazy days of summer and say hello to the daily 8-4 grind, once more, I also say hello to some of my most favourite things:
-Pumpkin Spice Lattes (and pumpkin everything for that matter)
-A new cozy and work wear appropriate wardrobe
-Halloween costume hunting
-The Christmas/New Year's countdown
-Lower weekend airfare prices so I can zoom off to New York and Chicago on a whim
-Regular meet ups with friends on the town (summer often causes a hiatus to this due to travelling M.I.A.- ness )
-And I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture. I LOVE FALL!
One new item that has been added to my transition into the fall season this year, and one which I most certainly would not hesitate to add to my 'Most Favourite Things About Fall' list, has been to distribute my novel to local bookshops around Toronto. It has been unbelievably wonderful to chat with book vendors and bookshop owners. I have had the pleasure of meeting some incredibly remarkable and kind individuals who have not thought twice about stocking my novel. Book City, one of my favourite independent bookstore chains in the city, has been especially welcoming. Below, you will find a list of the Toronto locations at which you can find my novel in store by the month's
end!
Ottawa is most certainly next on my list, followed by Montreal. By holiday time I will have an updated list of locations in those cities as well.
On a different note, I do love to reflect on the summer that has passed us so swiftly with a fondness, especially seeing as it included the launch of my novel. I couldn't have asked for a better reception of my efforts and I was over-joyed to have hosted my first launch/signing event.
Thank you once again for all of the support you've shown me! I've enjoyed every moment of the journey and look forward to what the future holds in store.
The most recent review about The Tantalizing Tale of a Bitter Sweetheart from a lovely reader:
"Just finished this awesome book. It was such a fun and smart read. The main character had such a great personality, she was very relatable and had a very fun best friend. It's a love story that focuses more on the main character's life development with the romance as an added bonus. I thoroughly enjoyed reading every word.... I encourage you all to read it!!!" -Sarah Richards, Facebook
