Sorry, friends! I’ve been a bad girl — not posting or visiting much.
Books and family are keeping me busier than a one-armed paper-hanger! (And you may recall only one of my arms works really well, so an apt descriptor there …)
The double-launch went very well indeed — a full house, great readings, excellent questions from the audience, all at Toronto’s iconic bookstore, A Different Booklist.
The following photos were taken by the ADB team. It’s great when a prominent bookstore team is so obviously thrilled to host a launch!
Then there’s the Festival of the Arts, happening this weekend in lakeside Cobourg, Ontario. My family and I are privileged to both support and take part in this wonderful event. And yes, our books and I will be there!
All this while we await first grandbaby ‘with bated breath’, and also support family and friends, some going through tough times right now.
Thanks for being there, and for your many messages of support. Be kind to yourself and others, please. I’ll be in touch again when I come up for air!
Love,
Cynthia.

Such an exciting and special time for you and your family, Cynthia. Great to read that all went well at the launch.
Thanks, Becky!
Wow! Life is keeping you busy. Congratulations on your family’s book launches. And you will absolutely fall head over heels in love with the new baby when it arrives.
Thank you, Fran! I sure am looking forward!
It often seems like life’s big events happen all at once. How exciting to be expecting a grandbaby.
The biggest excitement of all!
Hi, shortly future Grandma! Congrats and I’ve missed your posts. Hope the books are doing well. Did you actually get a new email address?
I did, and I have not yet figured out how to divert incoming blog posts to it. Probably way too simple for the likes of me! Haha – Just as well, as I’m going a bit crazy.
Well, I get your blog via The Reader! so I still get it. I hate to change anything on WordPress and usually feel like an idiot!
Many congratulations – I forgive you for giving priority to real life 🙂
Nice way to put it. Thanks, Derrick. p.s. What happens to Nugget in the winter?
We have yet to see. We have provided a choice of nesting boxes and two robin feeders. He is already using the feeders although he prefers the live prey that Jackie digs up.
Congratulations. This is a wonderful time for you and your family. Treasure every moment.
We will be here when you return.
Thank you for this.
You’re doing what’s important–we can wait!!
You lovely woman, you. Thanks, Kerry.
So very well done! 😀
Have a wonderful weekend. So excited for you.
The happiness shows on your face in those pics, and I wish you well with the books and the grand-babe!
Some wonderful things are happening in your life; book launch and the babe on the way. Don’t feel bad about not being around on the blogs. We, your readers will wait. 🙂 Congrats once again, and enjoy every bit of your book tour and time with family!
You just enjoy the good things that are coming your way! It is exciting time for your family.
So much to congratulate you for! I hope the festival is going well and you are selling lots of books! Take care, my friend and best wishes to you all.
Congratulations to you and your family, Cynthia! So many good things are happening!
You look wonderful! And glad you’re happily anticipating the blessing of a grandbaby. They are little angels . . . not that I’d know yet. But I’m sure I’ll eventually get into a heap of trouble along with my grandbabies:).
How exciting!
We can wait. 🙂👍 In the meantime, enjoy the ride!
Cheers

Congratulations, Cynthia! So happy for you! I will be left-handed for awhile after next Monday!
Great pictures Cynthia, I’m glad it went so well!
Congratulations on your book launches! You and your daughter look so happy and close … and now a little granddaughter to make a trio of girls across three generations! Blessings to you all! Xx
Hi Cynthia – Congrats on your launches and I’m so happy to hear all went/is going well. I’ve been quite behind myself, so we’ll keep on trucking and all meet up sooner or later! XO!
