Whoopee! I just signed a contract for book #11. (This is the rough draft.)
It will cover not only the last years at Nuk Tessli but more of my previous life before I became a wilderness dweller. Many of you have been asking about that.
The publisher did not like my title (they rarely do!) so I am not going to give it here. The book is pretty much written, I just have to go through the editing and refining processes – and prepare the illustrations. I enjoy this process: I learn a lot and it doesn’t cost me anything!
The new book will be out in September 2014. I will be planning a book tour for October and early November. I usually touch the Cariboo (as far north as Prince George), the Okanagan, the lower mainland, and Vancouver Island. I shall probably go to Sechelt this year. If any of you have ideas of venues with a good turnout, let me know. Check with your libraries to see if they are interested.
I’ll keep you updated as events unfold.
Right now I am having problems with some of my email accounts. I am trying to get this sorted out and they should all be up and running in a day or two.
Great news. Can’t wait for it to be published. Hope you’re having a good winter.
Congrats! Well done! Yahooooo! Looking forward to your book talk.

P.S. I’m really interested in your new cat. I hope you will post more about it.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Always look forward to your books – plus it’s a great way to do early Christmas shopping.. So many friends have borrowed my copies and enjoyed them. See you in the springtime!
Great news!
I’m really looking forward to read about your life before you became a wilderness dweller 😉
Congratulations! I didn’t know you were an author. I’ll have a look in the library to see if you’re here. Who is your publisher? I write too. My next out in March this year, published by Penguin.
