What an amazing time we had in Winnipeg, launching Ravenscraig at the McNally Robinson Booksellers store on Tuesday.  I am so grateful for the warmth and enthusiasm that came from everyone who joined us and am just overwhelmed at the outstanding response in books sold.  Every book in stock sold on the night of the launch and the last books I signed carried the chill of winter air as they were brought in from the trunk of a car, held “just in case we needed more,”  with more cases headed to the store the next day.

Karen Black helped a great deal with inviting me to her afternoon drive show at CJOB, and I am very grateful that Style Manitoba Magazine profiled Ravenscraig in its current issue.

It was thrilling and wonderful and I couldn’t be happier that people are interested in a story about Winnipeg’s boomtown years a century ago when it was the fastest growing city in North America.

On Friday we learned we topped the best seller list at McNally Robinson, even edging out one of my favourite titles, “The Help”.   This has been one very memorable week.  My humble thanks to all who helped make this such a successful launch.
