Toronto Journal

Thank you to the amazing group of 50+ people who joined me in "Finding Old Castle Frank" for @JanesWalkTO! #JanesWalkTO

No one has done more to encourage our little journal than Toronto's indie bookstores - they took us in and put us in the hands of curious readers. Visit them today! @BookCityTO, @AnotherStoryTO, @BenMcNallyBooks, Queen Books and Book People - thank you and Happy #CIBD2026!
