It's preview season and I'm absolutely chuffed to be included in several round ups and lists of us soon-to-be-published folks.Here is the National Post's 12 Most Anticipated Book of 2012 (swoon - this actually made me squeak with delight. Can one swoon and squeak simultaneously?)
Quill & Quire's Spring Preview (more swooning)
and Canadian Bookshelf's Most Anticipated Books of the Season (swoon, rinse, repeat)
Being listed along so many great writers is a trip. I guess all first timers go through this, but sharing a season with the likes of Steven Heighton, Emily Schultz and Linden MacIntyre is a bit head-spinning. It makes me think of the quote from Margaret Atwood's Cat's Eye where the narrator says "Another belief of mine: that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise."
(Seriously, give me a situation, and I'll give you an Atwood quote. I'm like the dad from My Big Fat Greek Wedding who tries to explain every word as having a Greek root. Only more successful. Because there really is an Atwood quote for everything.)
