Ode to Canmore, Alberta

What does Canmore have?

1. Beautiful mountain views: http://www.canmorealberta.com/webcams/three-sisters

2. This nice bookstore: http://www.cafebooks.ca

3. At least one person who read my book, liked it, and took the time to write me a very nice note.

Hooray for Canmore!

The Telegraph-Journal says the nicest things!

Am flattered and grateful for Rebecca Higgins' thoughtful review of The Love Monster in the Telegraph-Journal, April 14th.

She says: "Missy Marston is keenly attuned to the desolation of the human journey. And then, she finds and grows hope in unusual places."

(See? This is the aforementioned literary technique of making you feel bad, then good. Please see post of March 6, 2012.)

And then she says: "The result is an affecting and funny rendering of one woman's crawl out of the dark." That really is a nice thing to say.

Thanks, Rebecca Higgins!

What time is it?

It's Buy My Book Time!

What is that crazy monster doing now? If you love your local bookstore, it is waiting for you there on the shelf. If you ordered online, it is on its way to your house. Maybe it's already there!

The Love Monster is now available online and in many bookstores, like this one: http://www.collected-works.com/

If you haven't decided yet if it's a good idea to buy my book, this person says that reading it is good for you, especially if you find yourself worrying about being kidnapped by aliens: http://findingthebookthatheals.blogspot.ca/2012/04/is-alien-lurking-near-you.html

Even if you aren't worried now, you might be some day. You never know. Better buy the book just in case.

Thanks, Baby Jesus!

The Easter bunny delivered the first copies of The Love Monster to my house this week and I have been petting them and squeezing them ever since. Should be in stores around April 16th. Will post details of the Ottawa launch as soon as I have them.
