Video-book in Sign Language

Ce que l’on divulgue, my collection of short stories published in French in 2013, was translated into Québec Sign Language in 2026 by Créations LSQ.

The stories in this collection are: Secrets, Sur le seuil, Foudroiement, Nelles, and À l’air. You can watch the short stories from the video book in LSQ on the Eversa website: https://eversaplus.co/information/ce-que-lon-divulgue/

Some preliminary critiques from readers:

« The acting is marvellous and certainly emotions are well conveyed. And how wonderful to make the work available for those who would not otherwise be able to enjoy it. » – Mary Lou Dickinson, author

« As I watched the videos, I wanted to learn sign language. [This is] creative, innovative and extends the joy of reading and living through your work. » – Paula de Ronde, author

French Book Launch – Ce que l’on divulgue

I have the privilege of launching my new collection of short stories in French, Ce que l’on divulgue (What we reveal), at the Toronto French Book Fair this weekend.

This short collection of stories is a study of upheaval and change – sometimes good, sometimes bad – in which characters must face a stranger, a revelation, or even a new lifesyle.

Join me:

WHAT: Ce que l’on divulgue book launch
WHEN: Saturday, December 7, 3 p.m.
WHERE: Toronto French Book Fair, Toronto Reference Library, 789 Yonge Street, 2nd floor, Bram and Bluma Appel Salon, Radio-Canada Stage

The book is on sale for $10 for the month of December, and returns to the original price of $11.49 in January. You can get a copy at the book fair on Saturday, you can order it online through Amazon, or you can drop me a line and I’ll arrange for a signed copy to get to you.

Fantastic French Book Fair

What a pleasure and a privilege to have been invited as an author at the 2012 Toronto French Book Fair. There, I met authors I admire, such as Marguerite Andersen, Lawrence Hill, Michèle Vinet – and discovered new ones, such as Sonia Lamontagne, Daniel Groleau Landry, Éric Charlebois.

As a reader, it was wonderful to discuss books with their creators. As a writer, my Book Fair experience revigorated my desire to write. I have many projects planned for 2013!
