I’m very much looking forward to my upcoming trip back to Cape Breton. I’ve not been on the distinctive republic of Isle Madame for far too long. That absence ends on Wednesday, August 20. I’ll be at LeNoir Landing, 708 Veterans Memorial Drive, Arichat, talking about the quartet of period fiction I’m halfway through with The Maze and its predecessor, Thomas, A Secret Life. I’ll talk about where those books are coming from and where the series is heading, and do a couple of readings. The event begins at 7 pm.
