Kara Stanley

Reading at Queen Books

Toronto friendlies! Next week Ann Choi and myself will be reading at Queen Books.

If you haven’t read Ann’s beautiful book Kay’s Lucky Coin Variety, you should! It is set in the same time and landscape as Ghost Warning, and it is easy to imagine our fictional characters passing one another on the windy paths of Trinity Bellwoods, or waiting at a streetcar stop together. Making the evening extra cool, is the fact that Ann and I went to high school together, same homeroom, so for any Oakwood alumni out there – it will be a bit of a reunion!

Magic 8 Q&A

Some times little things mean a lot. Thanks CBC for inviting me to be a apart of the Magic 8 Q&A. I feel like a real author!
