Hi Leah, Just a thought - your strength is your memorist voice. All your columns are/were about your life - and searingly honest. I read 'The Continuity Girl' - and even if it's based in reality it didn't ring true. That's why I think your second novel didn't do well. BUT totally looking forward to reading 'Where you end and I begin' with our Toronto book club - about 90% of our bc has mother issues. Who doesn't? (And, actually, we had your mum as guest author for 'The Lost Diaries of Susanna Moodie' a few years ago.)
Your book is terrific and terrifying. Your advice on being an author on a marketing mission is also terrifying. We’ve been to the same well. Happy to drink the poison with a fellow traveller.
That way clerks actually have to put it in the system and hopefully remember the title Order now in the store and will pick up this week every little bit. Right ?
To explain I ordered the book when pre orders started
And instead of ordering on line ,I went in to Indigo and asked to set the pre order in motion. .. Just putting your name and book title in front of the clerk
Said preordered book arrived last week but I am not in town
So I phoned to say Hold the order ! So that person at end of phone now knows the name of book title
My own little way of helping my author acquaintances ..

The poison! (It’s good)
BTW your book has a huge lineup at the Ottawa Public Library!
Ottawa also good, so glad to to hear of a library let alone a line.
So happy to be a subscriber
Not as happy as I am to have YOU. Thanks Katie. xxx
Ordered your book in person at Indigo

I hope so.... very strange that it wasn't in store?
