In my work in national accounts marketing, I help organize and attend tons of author events - especially at this time of year. I was thrilled to finally meet tennis great Andre Agassi who was in town last week promoting his new book Open. I have been raving about him since the summer, and now you can see what I was prattling on about.

Also a lot of fun to meet, and proudly Canadian, was Paul Shaffer who was in Toronto to promote his book We’ll be Here for the Rest of Our Lives. I loved all the musical connections this man possesses and he shared his newfound knowledge with anyone at the office who would listen.


I had the pleasure of being in Ottawa with Anne Murray earlier this week for her last event as part of her book tour in the Nation’s Capital and the place I call home. Over six hundred people came out to show their love for Canada’s first lady of song. She signed copies of her autobiography, All Of Me, and took pictures.


You’d never guess it was the last event of a fifteen city tour! That woman has more energy than I do!
