Happy New Year, everyone!

Exciting news: a short essay I wrote will be published in the Globe & Mail newspaper on Friday, January 12. It will be near the back of the first section under “First Person” and is about biking in Toronto. I will send the link in my next blog – let me know what you think!

In this blog, I’m going to tell you about some of the research I did for my novel, A Thousand Kisses. Information came from many sources: a trip to Hull, England; the kindness of strangers who responded to my emails with information that I wouldn’t have been able to source without their help; and, of course, the internet.
