3 Months - 18 Days

Just over 3 months ago my memoir Hand on My Heart was launched in Canada. Despite a few hiccups due to Indigo’s cybersecurity event and Amazon’s confusion about the Canadian launch date, readers have received their books and many have responded by sending wonderful comments about their experience of reading it.

Hand on My Heart is now available in many bookstores across Canada and if it is not sitting on the shelf it can be easily ordered.

At the end of May, my partner, Mike, and I will make several stops on a book tour in BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan. A similar event is in the works for the fall in Ontario and Quebec.

May 23 - in 18 days - the book will be released to the rest of the world. What will that look like? I’m not sure. I hope that friends and colleagues will take a peek at it then decide if it ignites their curiosity.

Praise from readers

“I so enjoyed my nightly visits to the country through the pages of this book … I highly recommend [it] to anyone wanting a glimpse into life in a country that is rarely portrayed, especially with such honesty.” Nancy (North Vancouver BC)

“I am greedily reading [and] thoroughly enjoying [this] book.” – Mike (Victoria BC)

“[A]n amazing visual of life in Afghanistan. It rekindled memories of my 6 weeks living in Kabul, in 1970.” – John (Vancouver BC)
