For anyone who wasn’t able to attend my live reading last night, here’s the recording:
I hope you enjoy it. It didn’t work right away and I had a moment where I thought I would cry, but Kate and Ken were there troubleshooting and it all worked out in the end, with almost 30 people joining in. And there was wine.

OMG Suzanne!! I loved this, you should do this more often. I love your writing, I want to be like you when I grow up! 😉
I heard Atlas (I think, I heard paws on the floor) around there, and I also heard Ken!!

Yes, at the beginning, Atlas raced down the stairs–what a clatter! And Ken was there for support, giving me the thumbs up once it started finally streaming!

Thank you! I forgot to hold the book up though! But my daughter was able to put a thumbnail on the video so people would know what the cover looked like!

It really was great and I enjoyed it so much. I thought all the technical difficulties were on my end and, in fact, at one point I know they were because my wifi chose the absolute perfect moment to cut out. But it got better.
I wondered if you’d be nervous going in and I thought about sharing something with you another Canadian writer, Margaret Atwood, said about readings. I don’t have the exact quote handy but she said they used to terrify her until she realized the people who came to her readings were there because they like her work, and that made her feel better.
I think you know we all showed up because we we like your work. If anything your reading made it even better.

Yes, I was a little nervous, not about the reading but about the tech not working. But once people started making comments and I realized I had an audience of friends, all that went away. Thank you so much for being there😊

If you get an opportunity to do an audiobook, I suggest you read it yourself, Suzanne; you have a very pleasant bedtime-story tone/cadence!
Congrats again on the publication of Feasting upon the Bones. So cool!

A wonderful presentation! So glad I finally took the time to view it. You are a great story teller – both reading and writing. I did skip the wine however, 5:00 a. m. was a bit early for that so I enjoyed my morning coffee while listening. 🙂
