Many thanks to Guy Williams who read my book for over 14 hours!! Also, thanks to Scott Rains who helped get my book into talking book format.

Big Guy's Little Coffee Shop - Literary Cafe Fri, Nov 19 7pm

I have been confirmed to recite from "Travels in a Blue Chair" at the 5th Literary Cafe presented by the Theatre of Change, which will be held at the Big Guy's Little Coffee Shop.

It will be on Friday Nov 19th at 7 pm.

The cafe is located in New Toronto, in the city's west end, at 2861 Lake Shore Blvd W (between Fourth and Fifth streets on the south side).

I appeared at the first Literary Cafe and really enjoyed it....so if you are looking for something to do on a Friday night, come early, as the cafe is quite an intimate location.

I will be reciting one of the funniest experiences I ever had travelling alone....trying to find a wheelchair friendly washroom behind the old iron curtain, in Budapest Hungary.

I we are lucky the hilarious "Blackberry Poet" will even be on hand too!
