November 28, 2009. Victoria, B.C. CWILL (children’s book writers/illustrators of B.C.) features
VICTORIA KIDS’ BOOK BASH at the Fairfield Community Centre.
Victoria, for the second time in November! Thanks to my B&B hosts/dear friends, the Birds, I was happy in my Tuscany theme bedroom, with private bath, and sustenance any time I needed/wanted it! Shortbread cookies and mince tarts were being baked by the dozens.
Future author
Author Fiona Bayrock, author, and my BFF Beth of Victoria
What? Beth again? Modeling her headband
Of course, taste testers are needed and I was happy to volunteer! Miss Yvette is famous for these jewels; her pastry melts in your mouth.
The Sunday prior to this event, Penny Draper, author/reporter for the Victoria Times-Colonist, wrote a full-page article on the event, the authors/illustrators, and their books. I was super thrilled to see Fly Catcher Boy’s cover along with six others, and a very favourable review. Thank you, P enny!
Sales were brisk with many children, all avid readers, visiting each table. Enjoy some photos from the event!
