Or maybe it’s two of these. You decide.

Some days lately, it feels kind of like a B&W world.

But now that the vaccines are rolling out, the colour will eventually return.

Book-Me Podcasts has selected my conversation with Costas Halavrezos about Kings of Friday Nights: The Lincolns as one of its Top 10 interviews of 2020.

That conversation was great fun. It can be found in various places, including on this web site under the Media tab.

Independents are an important part of the literary ecosystem. Plus they are usually very cool places.

That is definitely the case with Carrefour Atlantic at Halifax’s Historic Properties. I dropped by today to sign some copies of my latest book. It’s well worth a trip to Carrefour Atlantic to check all the many wonderful books and other stuff the place sells.

Maybe it’s the time of year — a darkening period when many of us look both back and ahead — or maybe it’s my age — I don’t seem to be getting any younger!

Whatever the underlying motivation, I laid out the various books I possess that have my name on the cover. (I later realized I had missed one or two.)

It made the calculated spill seen here.

As things stand, I hope to add at least two more books before I’m done. After that, who knows?

The love for the book about The Lincolns keeps on coming.

Yesterday, I read a wonderful write-up on the book in the bi-weekly newsletter of the Writers’ Federation of Nova Scotia. Here it is:

“It’s hard to pack a sax and a Hammond organ in a book, but AJB Johnston does a good job of it in The Kings of Friday Night, about Truro in the 1960s and the legendary band The Lincolns. Through interviews and first-person stories, and featuring photos of the band’s evolution, The Lincolns will stir fond memories for the band’s countless loyal fans. Check out the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZC7SU4gT24) that goes with the book!”
