Braco Blog Tour

A few weeks ago, my debut novel Braco abawas nominated for the Margaret and John Savage First Book Award. I was thrilled to learn of the nomination and plan to be in Halifax on May 16th when the winner is announced at the Atlantic Book Awards.

As Braco is a deeply personal story to me, I’m grateful others have connected with Atif’s story as well. I’m fortunate in that I’m surrounded by an incredibly supportive writing community and wish I could take them with me. As such, they’re giving me a pretty impressive send off.

In the time running up to the awards, some local writers have been kind enough to host me on a blog tour. My very first! What a strange new world we’ve embarked on. The tour will give you an opportunity to learn more about myself and my novel, and at the end, I will have two signed copies of Braco to give away. We will ask a question at the last stop on May 15th and draw for the two winners from a hat. The answer will be found in one of the tour posts.

The blog schedule is as follows:

17 April 2013 – Kate Robbins

24 April 2013 – Paul Butler

1 May 2013 – Michelle Butler-Hallett

8 May 2013 – Rati Mehrotra

15 May 2013 – Valerie Francis

This is all new to me and I’m excited to see it all come together. A heartfelt thanks goes out to the bloggers who will host me and I hope you can join us.

  2. I’m thrilled you’re stopping by my blog on your tour as well, Lesleyanne! I was very moved by Braco and look forward to asking some questions about it and about you.
