E312 with SHEILA MURRAY
Super excited about this week’s show! First, I had the privilege of meeting Hamilton-based author Sheila Murray, and she was wonderful. Second, her debut novel Finding Edward is up for the Governor General’s Literary Award for Fiction (announced Nov 16) which is exciting. Third, it was that rare in-studio conversation which always feels good. Hope you enjoy!
(Also I know there’s a typo in the file name – oops!)
Also: if you live in the Windsor area, I’m there tonight (Nov 10) at Biblioasis Bookshop to read from my new novel, River, Diverted. Drop by! More info here.

E205 with ROLAND GULLIVER
Hey all! This week’s show features an interview with Roland Gulliver, the new Director at the Toronto International Festival of Authors. The festival starts today! There’s all kinds of really interesting things happening – online, of course, but the spirit remains the same. Gulliver discusses the challenges and opportunities presented by putting together a festival in such unusual circumstances. Tune in!
E197 with ROSS BELOT
Happy Thursday! Today’s episode of Get Lit features an interview with poet Ross Belot. Another great experience for me – I learn a lot when I interview poets (well, when I interview anyone, really). Ross’ new collection is called Moving to Climate Change Hours and its’ available through Wolsak & Wynn.
As an added bonus, since I had an extra five minutes, I added some readings from another local poet, Jaclyn Desforges, from episode 152!

I’m on vacation this week…so I’ll keep it short! Today we talk to Rebecca Fisseha about her excellent novel, Daughters of Silence. Tune in!

Hey! It’s that time of year again. For those of us in the Hamilton area, GRIT LIT is upon us!
We bring back our most frequent guest, the most excellent Jennfer Gillies, to talk about all that’s happening with this year’s fest. I will be hosting an event too, which I’ll detail for you next week.
Also, if you’re in Hamilton and want to come see some folks read their work, come on out Friday April 5, 7 pm, to King West Books. I’ll be reading, along with Chris Bailey and Owain Nicholson, to support the book launch of Mooncalves by Victoria Hetherington. Dig this show!
