On the go again...

I'm just getting ready for another bout of events and travel: I'll be reading with Kathleen Jamie at the Southbank Centre on Monday night, and flying out to Toronto the next morning for the International Festival of Authors. After that I'm visiting friends and family in Vancouver, Edmonton and Victoria, where I'll also get into the BC Archives for research on West Coast life in the 1930s. Grandmere has told me about the legendary diction of CKCD radio presenter Earle Kelly, "Mr Good Evening". All being well I should be able to hear clips of his shows in the Archives. It's very exciting.

Here's links for the readings...
