Had a most excellent night yesterday, celebrating the launch of The Lives We Lost<\/i> with family and friends! For those who weren’t able to make it to the party, here’s a quick reconstruction (with much gratitude to Debbie Ridpath Ohi<\/a> for her photography skills)…<\/p>\n

When entering No One Writes To The Colonel, you would immediately have been met by this wonderful display of my books (even Give Up the Ghost<\/i> was on hand), courtesy of the Bakka-Phoenix Books<\/a> (big thanks to Chris and Rob!):<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

And you would have found this lovely area at the back of the bar. Such a gorgeous space!<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

I did a short talk and reading (trying not to be too spoilery for the few who hadn’t read the first book yet):<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

And then Scott from the Highlands Wilderness Training Institute<\/a> came up to discuss some key survival strategies in the case of a real apocalypse, including how to purify water using a beer can stove and a fire started with hand sanitizer (who knew it was so multipurpose?):<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

I signed many books, including this one, very slowly, so Debbie could get a good picture \ud83d\ude42 :<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Thanks so much to everyone who did make it! Looking forward to doing it again for book 3 in a year!<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

And if you’re in Toronto and want to grab a signed copy of The Lives We Lost<\/i> and\/or the The Way We Fall<\/i> paperback, head on over to Bakka-Phoenix<\/a> — but make it soon, before the signed copies are all picked up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
