July continued to be busy with promotions for The Lost Souls of Angelkov.
Candace Fertile reviewed the novel in The Globe and Mail, and during my publicity tour in Winnipeg, Carolin Vesely wrote an article for the Winnipeg Free Press. Justine Routhier interviewed me on her program “The Book Club” heard on CJOB 68 on Sunday, July 22, and I made an appearance on Shaw TV, hosted by Joanne Kelly. I was interviewed by Bruce Symaka for Uptown Arts and Entertainment Weekly for his article “Strange and Familiar”, which appeared August 2, and by Michael Elves of UMFM Radio and Ron Robinson of CKUW Radio.
