| Other Info | The amazing Bonnie Stern is hosting a book club event for me and The Virgin Cure at Toronto's Starfish Oyster Bed and Grill. Starfish's owner, Patrick McMurray is a champion oyster shucker (which, I must say without giving any of the book's plot away, is a lovely nod to the story.) Tickets are $135 plus HST* (includes dinner, beverages, gratuity and an advance copy of The Virgin Cure, sent out mid October) Advance registration only: Bonnie Stern 416 484 4810 |

Welcome
When I was a child I loved finding things…a jar of my grandmother's old buttons, a cigar box filled with boy scout badges and river stones, a flouncy party dress pushed to the back of my mother's closet - circa 1955. With every relic I discovered, there came a story. Real or imagined, the tales that surrounded each object were magic, making the 'thing' more immediate, something more than it was before I'd found it.
Fact or fiction, fantastic, joyful or sad, stories make us more than we were before we found them. Welcome to my shoebox of buttons, sealing wax and scribblings.
