As those of you who subscribe to my website https://t.co/ycU0b7aSWH will already know (just sayin’), there’s a sneak preview of the cover art and synopsis for the new Birder Murder mystery on there. #ADeceitofLapwings @pointblankcrime @wca_litagency @zeissbirding @AdventureCanada

Disappointed to have to say I can't make Saturday's event at Wild Birds Unlimited in Belleville. Apologies to all who were coming out, but we'll be rebooking soon.

Looking forward to visiting Wild Birds Unlimited in Belleville Sat Nov 2 at 2:00 p.m . I’ll be talking about recent trips, the Birder Murder series and plenty of other things. Books on hand, too, if you’d like to pick one up. @wca_litagency @ZEISSBirding

Honoured to have been asked to judge this year’s Seniors Short Story Writing Competition. So nice they chose someone from a younger generation for this task (what? what?). It’s an absolute pleasure to read these entries. Choosing one winner from among them, though…wow!

Good night for @Zeissbirding representatives at OFO's annual birding quiz last night. Two different questions featuring our books. Both answered correctly, by the way! @JZarankin @WCA_LitAgency

Looking forward to meeting old friends and new at the OFO Conference in Leamington this weekend. I'll be at the @ZEISSBirding display on Friday and Saturday evenings ready to chat about binos, birds and books! Hope to see you there @wca_litagency @OFObirds https://t.co/ycU0b7aSWH

Delighted to announce I’ll be joining @ZEISSBirding at OFO conference in Leamington Sept 27-29 (details https://t.co/ycU0b7aSWH). If you have a book (of mine!) you’d like signed, please swing by the ZEISS booth and I’ll be happy to oblige. @wca_litagency @ZEISSBirding, @OFObirds

Thanks to Cathy and Lizann for hosting great Dwight/Baysville library events. Clearly, when I asked Mrs B to take photos, I should’ve said I wanted to be in them. (Actually, this is her attempt at humour. Please don’t encourage her!) @wca_litagency @PointBlankCrime @ZEISSBirding

Pretty hot in Nevada for @ZEISSBirding walk at Henderson Birding Preserve, but many good birds, including Clark’s Grebe (Becky Matsubara) and Verdin (Andy Reago). Also squeezed in great event at Writer’s Block, (bird-themed) bookstore in Las Vegas @wca_litagency @PointBlankCrime

Early June at Maine’s Acadia Birding Festival. Good to see @ZeissBirding there, too. Thanks to Becky and Mel for setting up my event at the fabulous Wendell Gilley Museum, and to those who came, especially the folks who drove down from NB. @wca_litagency @PointBlankCrime

Whirlwind May concluded with a talk at rare’s Cambridge Research Institute as part of Conversations for Conservation series. Fabulous setting and crowd. Thanks to Sara Clark @rare_sites, Sydney for images@s.daniels_photography, and @zeissbirding, @wca_litagency @PointBlankCrime

Great time in PEC in May visiting PEPtBO banding station for fundraiser (Black-throated Green warbler photo D Catt). Afterwards, my interview with Lynn Pickering (County Reads) was graced by the presence of the fabulous Jane Urquhart. @ZeissBirding @wca_litagency @PointBlankCrime

It’s been a busy season so far, doing book promo (plus writing a new one), events, talks, interviews and a couple of Zeiss Birding walks. Finally finding time to share some images. @ZeissBirding @wca_litagency @PointBlankCrime

Saturday’s forecast for PEC looking iffy. Maybe a nice indoor event instead? My interview with Lynn Pickering should be just the ($20) ticket. Reading, book sales & signing, Q&A and refreshments. 2:30PM, South Bay United Church, 2029 County Road 13, Milford info@peptbo.ca.

Looking forward to my PEPtBO fundraiser this Saturday May 18. South Bay United Church, 2029 County Road 13, Milford. Tickets $20. I’ll be chatting with Lynn Pickering with a reading, book sales/signing & refreshments to follow. Tickets and event details at info@peptbo.ca.

Artistic thing of unknown species said to be pheasantish by the artiste, Steve Burrows, who otherwise writes murder mysteries featuring birds like this. (Post -murder.)

How to measure the success of a book launch? How about the presence of friends & family, fans old and new, and cake? Oh, and selling lots of books, too. Thanks to all who came out and to Ian & Kate for their usual superb hosting job. @PointBlankCrime @wca_litagency @drummerbooks

Looking forward to seeing everybody for tomorrow’s book launch for A Nye of Pheasants at Different Drummer in Burlington. Expecting a large crowd drawn by the irresistible prospect on offer: that’s right, there will be cake as usual. @megwheelez @PointBlankCrime @wca_litagency

Amazing. I blog about Ivory Gulls and the next day one shows up. Okay, it was wearing red leggings and a feral pigeon mask, but a birding expert like me wasn’t going to be fooled by that disguise. https://t.co/MSTq9ZGic5

Just received this new announcement from Adventure Canada about their High Arctic trips in August. Something in there about some writer guy, too. https://t.co/rfj6RcvuZG @megwheelez @PointBlankCrime @wca_litagency
