Past and Upcoming Events
Signing at Owl's Nest Books - Ceres
2022: On August 13th, I set up at Owl’s Nest Books, where three years before I’d done a reading. This time, I was signing copies of Ceres.
It was a wonderful time, and copies were sold. The employees were incredibly helpful and kind, and set the table up for me beforehand. This is a great little store in Calgary, and you should stop by if you live here.
The experience was wonderful, albeit a bit short, but a great reintroduction to the world of signing and in-person marketing–and the first of many stops on my tour for Ceres.

Signing at Owl's Nest Books - The Plight of Steel
2019: Back during the ensuing months following The Plight of Steel’s release, I organized a reading at a local Calgary bookstore called The Owl’s Nest.
Mostly friends and relatives showed up, of course – more of both than I was initially expecting; my English teacher, whom I adore, showed up with her family, and advertised the event in class (much to my embarrassment).
A few hours had me reading aloud an excerpt to the crowd, which never got recorded (thank God for that), then I took questions; this segment was partially recorded, and can be watched below.

Signing at Comic-Kazi - The Plight of Steel
2019: Back in 2019, the editor of The Plight of Steel told me about a comic store whose owner he was acquainted with. He put in a request, and I was allowed to do a signing for The Plight of Steel.
The turnout was nothing I wasn’t expecting–it was a comic store, after all, tucked into a little strip mall in a seedy part of my city (they’ve since moved to a bigger location). But I sold some books and met some people who turned up especially for the event, which kind of blew my mind.
The owner was also an incredible person, and she provided immeasurable help to me, especially since she didn’t even know me. I still have the little price tag pictured to the right beside the stack of books, which she drew up after seeing I hadn’t brought one.
