The holiday season is a busy one, and I have a couple upcoming November events to tell you about.
ESA 26th Annual Holiday Market, Craft Fair, and Silent Auction
First up, I will be at the Etobicoke School for the Arts’ Holiday Market this Saturday, November 12, from 10 am to 4 pm.
I’ve donated a signed copy of Chaos Calling to the silent auction.
This high school is part of the Toronto District School Board and uses this event to fundraise to support their arts-based programming. According to their most recent updates, over 85 vendors are participating this year with unique, handmade crafts.
I’m told the bake sale is not to be missed.
Ontario Author Holiday Meet & Greet
Some lovely indie SF/F author friends in the Greater Toronto Area put together this Ontario Author Holiday Meet & Greet event in Hamilton, ON, at Crown and Press from 1 to 4 pm (it’s also on a Saturday).
Canadian Indie authors attending:
- Laura A. Barton (fantasy)
- Jendra Berri (fantasy & SciFi)
- Will Forest (romance with SF/F elements)
- Nathaniel Luscombe (speculative fiction)
- Megan McSpadden (romance)
- K. A. Riley (SciFi and fantasy)
- Justine Sobocan (non-fiction)
- Sandy R. Stuckless (fantasy)
The venue is associated with Hamilton artist Julia Veenstra, a talented Canadian painter whose work I love. When lockdowns hit in 2020, I bought several of her prints to brighten up our living space, including one for my office.
So, that’s a little piece of serendipity around this event that made me smile.
If you’re in either the area, I hope to see you there!
