Summer Is Upon Us!
Sweaty reader,
Did you notice how the sun came out recently? And is making things abnormally warm? Are you as happy about it as we are? We are twirling around Workhorsery HQ in bare feet and short skirts (those of us of the skirt-wearing variety, anyway), flipping through manuscripts and continuing our search for the next perfect book. Did you write a perfect book, by any chance? Perhaps you would like to send it to us. We’d love to take a look.
Or perhaps you are looking for a perfect book yourself, a little something to lounge with as you bask in the short-lived summer heat. Have you read Derek’s book yet? It is a twisty-turny road of improbable action. And Jocelyne’s book has all those cats, a whole army of them. Either one is guaranteed to liven up your long days and give you something weird to talk about at work. If you don’t currently own these treasures, we have a number of options for you.
The most imminent of which is the Book Affair in Niagara Falls this Saturday. Yes, we will be visiting your fair municipality for the first time ever! We are delighted to be able to spread our gospel of nutbar Canadian fiction to this city on the roaring waters. And of course, we want to meet you! Niagara readers, please stop by and say hello. We will be there, meeting and greeting from 10:00 to 17:00. We will even have author Jocelyne there to scrawl out mildly humorous remarks in her book for you. And we will have Pitouie waiting for you there, several copies even signed by Derek. Plus book covers and rambling stories about the publishing industry! Don’t miss this opportunity to meet your new favourite indie publisher!
It is really a month of book fairs for The Workhorsery. We’ll be back at the Small Press of Toronto fair on June 19 from 11:00 until 17:00 with both Derek and Jocelyne signing books, and then at the Ottawa Small Press Book Fair on June 25 from 12:00 to 17:00. So many chances to meet us! So come! Meet us! We would love to be met.
