Did anyone catch
yesterday's Record article about Word on the Street? Our own Marianne (not to mention the Dove Tale Writers!) were mentioned, and quoted at length!
Check the link soon (it'll expire in two weeks) to read the whole article, but here's the relevant portion, with the hope that this falls under fair use provisions...
Besides bringing publishing companies and bookstores together, The Word on the Street also brought in local authors to interact with readers.
Local authors had gathered under the canopy of Dove Tale Writers for the first time at the festival.
"It's a great first time," said Marianne Paul, author of Tending Memory. "People are fascinated with the process of writing. "Our interaction has been really fruitful."
Anyhow, great stuff -- we're really getting out there!

Thanks Matt for posting that. What a great article! I regret that I have been so dosey to forget about the day. Sjee, if my computer had worked I could for the world not have missed it, reading all the e-mails afterwards. I don't get the Record. My days often flow into each other without me having a clue about time. I have been known to have to call a friend or a neighbour to ask what day it was, that day. Anyhow, when I put on the news, Saturday night, and the bit about Word On The Street came on, I slapped my head and cried, "Aaaaaaahhhh!" Not the first time in my life I did such to myself.
I am glad it was such a great day and you all had such a good time. I will entertain myself with thinking about it.
