I’ll be on a plane tomorrow afternoon (Friday) for beautiful Thunder Bay for the Sleeping Giant Writers Festival. I’ll be reading with my friend and editor/publisher Doug Gibson, and with the wonderful Miriam Toews on Friday night. Then on Saturday, I’ll be delivering two workshops on how to build and sustain an audience for one’s writing. I’m really looking forward to it.
We’re now less than two weeks away from the official publication of The High Road.
A couple of weeks ago, Julie Forrest, leading literary blogger, digital maven at Random House, and all-around nice person, passed along a series of 20 questions on behalf of BookLounge, and asked for my responses. I was happy to oblige. If insomnia plagues you, please feel free to check out my not always thoughtful answers. (You can just click on the graphic below to get to the site.)
This week, Chapter 13, courtesy of McClelland & Stewart. In this episode, Angus and Daniel pull out all the stops to determine why the Alexandra Bridge suddenly fell into the Ottawa River.

It always seemed so far off, but it’s finally time. I’m just back from two weeks in the wilds of BC with my family, and waiting for me at home from my publisher, McClelland & Stewart, was the very first copy of The High Road. It feels great and looks great, at least to my unbiased eye! We’re still a couple of weeks away from its broad availability in bookstores, but we’re right on schedule. At least I now know we’ll have copies for the Toronto launch on September 8th at the Dora Keogh pub on the Danforth. It’s going to be a busy fall…
This week, Chapter 12, courtesy of McClelland & Stewart. In this episode, Angus and Daniel hover up the frozen Ottawa River to examine the collapsed Alexandra Bridge, while the newly-elected Liberal Prime Minister and his Chief of Staff hatch a plan to keep Angus occupied and out of trouble.

This week, courtesy of McClelland & Stewart, Chapter 11 brings to a close Part One of The High Road as we experience the tension of Election day. Lots happening in this episode, including a last minute look at the numbers in C-P, a polling station photo-op, enduring the election returns on TV, and the Angus McLintock campaign party. But will it be a victory bash or a wake?

This week, Chapter 10, courtesy of McClelland & Stewart. In this episode, Angus seems a bit depressed and his mood is not lightened when the Liberal Leader makes a surprise visit to Cumberland, on very short notice, to do a little mainstreeting with the local maverick MP. The election is now just around the corner.

If you’re going to be in the Toronto area on September 8th, or even if you’re not, you’re all invited to the launch of The High Road. As we did for the launch of The Best Laid Plans in the fall of 2007, we’ll be gathering at the wonderful Dora Keogh pub on the south side of Danforth Avenue, just east of Broadview. There’ll a couple of brief (I promise) speeches and a short reading, but really the night is more about socializing and having fun. Books will be available for sale and there’ll be plenty to eat and drink too. You can RSVP over on the Facebook event page. H ope you can make it.
