I’m delighted to be a guest at this very civil tea party, a celebration of reading and writing—and of course, high tea—to raise funds for the Sidney LitFest.
If you’re in the Sidney/Saanich/Victoria area on May 25, why not make an afternoon of it? Gregor Craigie, C.C. Humphreys, and I will read from and discuss our work; people will wear hats and share book recommendations; and we’ll all sip tea with our pinkies extended. All in support of a fine literary festival.
Tickets for sale at Tanner’s Books or online at Eventbrite.
