I thought it was an innovative and worthwhile initiative, so I autographed three copies of  eloves me, eloves me not and donated them to the project.

On October 25, 2013 it was our turn.

The three Toronto free ‘eloves me, eloves me not’ giveaway locations were:

1. Hotel Le Germain
2. The Drake Hotel
3. The Old MIll

For those of you who ‘found’ these books, I hope you enjoy them. I’d love to know who you are and what you think about the story.

And thanks to http://wllnttz.com/ for helping to spread the love throughout my favourite city.

Like you said, if only real love were this easy to find!

We had a great day connecting with other authors and services dedicated to the literary world.

I met fans and readers, shared insights about the book, took photos with friends old and new.

And I even sold some books to curious readers and gave away some Aussie schwag.

Thanks to everyone who came out, those who bought books, those who took photos, interviewed me, brought me flowers, promoted the event through social media and to those who brough us Timmies and especially to my friend Wendy who, as she’s been since the day we met, was there beside me from start to finish.

Thank you! You are all priceless treasures! And, when it comes to friends and fans I am truly blessed. xxx

Any guesses on  which  author will be giving away free gifts from Australia to the first 20 people to purchase her book at Toronto’s Word on the Street Festival?

Here’s a hint, the ‘Sheila’ with the schwag can be found at Booth #215.

Crikey. We’re talking boomerangs, didgerdoos and koalas, oh my! 

Want a fabulous freebie from the Land Down Under?

Be one of the first 20 to purchase your copy of eloves me, eloves me not at the Toronto Word on the Street Festival.

You’ll walk away with an amusing contemporary read and a ‘fair dinkum’ little Aussie treasure.

Not only is this a fabulous literary event that has grown in popularity year over year, it takes place in my home city.

Toronto, it’s wonderful to be back!

Please pop by and say hi. My book-babies and I can be found at Booth #215 from 11 am – 6pm. 

PS – There will be free gifts direct from Australia for the first 10 books purchased, so come early!

Podcast #16 – eloves me, eloves me not with LA Johannesson

Jack was a terrific host. He asked some refreshing questions and we had a few laughs while I got to share a great deal about the inspiration for the book, the story, its characters and my own views on dating and love. Any conversation that can move from Star Trek to Shakespeare covers a lot of ground as is worth a listen. You can go straight to the audio here!
