Last year, former minister Chris Alexander made the absurd claim (behind parl. privilege) that @davidpugliese was a Russian spy. Tonight, Pugliese won the @caj’s top award from president Brent Jolly. “If David is guilty of anything, it is being a thorn in the side of power.”

“Another full-faceted Windflower mystery which brings community, causes, and protective instincts to life in a swirl of dilemmas and responses that will attract readers and libraries seeking Canadian-based intrigue and characters whose persona lives shine as much as the mystery.”

I'm thinking of organizing a small book fair in November to showcase Ottawa authors. Could just be for mystery authors or could be more inclusive. This would be a time to come and buy books for Christmas. I could use your input! 1/
