The Calgary launch for However Far Away was a roaring success: a full house at Festival Hall and the bookseller sold out of books.

Thanks to everyone who came out to support the event, Calgary Folk Music Festival for being generous and gracious hosts, Richard Harrison for his excellent MC skills, Shelley Boettcher for her deft interviewing even after I rambled on and on, Shelf Life Books and Emma for being on hand with books, and Gurvir Mangat for his dhol mastery. Thanks to CKUA Radio and Grant Stovel for a feature on the novel that included a few songs for the HFA playlist, RED-FM and SurSungam Radio for pre-launch interviews.

It was truly a Homecoming and a Celebration.
