Mark it on your calendars, Ottawa-area readers

I'm going to be in Ottawa for the Ottawa International Writers Festival in October. There will be a reading from Jailbreaks, by myself and several contributors, on Saturday, October 25 at 2 pm. (I'm excited to see that my event follows one by Steven Pinker, one of my favourite science writers.) There is also a reading from our forthcoming kids' book, Anything But Hank! on the 24th; I gather it's in a classroom setting, but I haven't heard any details yet. On the 26th, I'll be heading to Montreal for a joint launch of JB and Arc magazine; time and place TBA.
