Book News

It’s been over a year since Separation Anxiety: A Coming of Middle Age Story was released. Here’s a look back at the  amazing journey this has been. 

November 2014. This is the first time I held the book in my hands. Hot off the press from Montreal. (New t-shirt, too.)

December 2014. This is the first time my mother, Pat Campbell, held the book in her hands. A present for her 92nd birthday. A poignant photo. She died on April 29, 2015.

Spring 2015:  LAUNCH!

And we did. At bookstores, cafes, summer markets, fall  festivals, public libraries. On radio, TV, in newspapers and magazines. Over 30 events across 4 provinces in 2015. Check out all the Book Launch stories in my blog HERE.

Welcome 2016!

In March Reader’s Digest published an excerpt from my book. I was so thrilled I actually wrote about it "Shout-out to Readers Digest" on my blog HERE.

One of the best things to happen this year has been taking the book, along with my story, in new directions. You can read the full blog of each using the links below:
