I’m doing a virtual reading of my new novel, The Great Stork Derby, at Literati Bookstore on December 1, 2021 at 7:00 PM Eastern Time. Author and colleague Danielle LaVaque-Manty will also interview me, followed by a Q and A with online participants. The event is free. No preregistration is required and you can join the Zoom webinar from anywhere. Go to the Literati event page and click the link on the page to join the event.
You can also order copies of The Great Stork Derby from Literati, as well as copies of my other novels, using the “Add to Cart” feature on that page. Support a great independent bookstore.
The Great Stork Derby, based on a bizarre chapter in Toronto’s history, asks whether an overbearing father deserves the chance to make amends with his alienated offspring. Widower Emm Benbow, who 50 years ago pressured his late wife to win a contest by having many babies, must now move in with one of his many children or go to a dreaded old age home. As he lives with each child in turn, Emm discovers that the true value of fatherhood is not measured in big prizes, but in small rewards.
