Reading
from The Alchemist's
Portrait at Fireside
Books in Vancouver |
I make presentations, conduct workshops and offer Author in Residence programs at schools and libraries across Canada throughout the year. In July and August, I am available to visit summer camps for children in Calgary and the surrounding area. I also conduct workshops in Calgary on a regular basis, notifications of which are posted on my blog and work as an instructor with Chinook Learning Services and the University of Calgary Continuing Education.
Book signings take place on a regular basis at bookstores in the city of Calgary and are normally advertised in the local media. The Calgary Children's Book Fair and Conference also takes place each November. Here are a few of my recent appearances at literary festivals, conventions and conferences in Canada, the USA and the UK.
