ST. VINCENT'S SCHOOL

Hello, sorry for the weekend delay but I upgraded my site and had to re-publish everything and well, I'm not that computer literate. So, of course, I had to call Aaron from Hockey Canada again and he helped me out. He is fabulous and has designed my site. I was at St. Vincent's School in Edmonton last Wednesday and told the children I would talk about them on my blog. What a great group! They were so attentive and asked such wonderful questions. I read to them from Against the Boards because it's about a boy who moves from Tuktoyaktuk to Edmonton to play hockey. I even have a West Edmonton Mall Scene (for those of you who don't know West Ed. Mall, it's huge, even has a skating rink) but I didn't read that scene. Anyway, thanks you guys from St. Vincent's! I loved your school. And you have the coolest library.
I also did the television show Total WRite-off in Edmonton and it was a blast! I was teamed with Jack Whyte and we had to write a sci-fi story. Only one page. It was the most ridiculous story. Barbara North was an incredible host and she actually created the show. It is a great show to showcase writers and is totally entertaining. It has a bit of What's my Line and a bit of Canadian/American idol (a literary critic who totally trashed our story), and there is a genre wheel with Barbara North spinning as well as they do on Wheel of Fortune. Oh yeah, and mime artists perform the stories at the end of the show. They were hilarious. I'll let you know when it airs.
I'm glad to be up and running again!
