Brenda Chapman has been visiting Ottawa Public Libraries as part of the TD Summer Reading Club. Her interactive workshop introduces kids to the fun of mystery writing.

Jennifer Maruno was one of twelve authors invited to The Mimico Party in the Park held on June 23 in Toronto. Amid the sounds of jazz and bagpipes and the smell of hot dogs and candy floss, the authors met the neighbourhood and signed copies of their books. Over 1500 residents of all ages visited The Books in the Park area.

Michael Ignatieff, on hand to present his book as a raffle prize, visited with Jennifer to discuss her novel When the Cherry Blossoms Fell and left with a copy.
