Edson Public Library and Taleblazers

I had a wonderful time chatting all things bookish with those present at my Edson Public Library workshops this Saturday. Suzy, librarian extraordinaire, and her witty crew made me feel welcome, and yeah, a bit like a rock star. Nice.

If you've thought of more questions from my babble at the workshops – please fire me an email and I'll do my best to help you out / find the answer / point you in the right direction.

I hope to make it back to Edson…a lovely town in the foothills. Those trails are great fodder for Wolven stories.

Speaking of trails…how about the Young Alberta Book Society's Taleblazers festival? It's going to rock this October, you won't want to miss out. I am touring with the festival and would love to visit your school/public library.

Here are the details from their website:

More than 60 outstanding Albertan literary artists will hit the roads this October, spreading the message about the importance of literacy – and a love of reading – to classrooms and libraries across the province.
