I’m on the National Post’s “Popcorn Panel” today, discussing The Runaways– the new movie about Joan Jett’s all-girl teen rock band, before she went solo. It stars that Twilight chick, Kristen Stewart, and lots of nice eyeshadow. I answered 20 Writerly Questions for BookLounge.ca. This one was my favourite:

First, an interview with the CBC Book Club:

Continue Reading →Today is Break On Through Day on The Zone (YTV), so wherever you are in Canada, tune in to watch MaeHem and I chat and dance in high definition with two of our favourite hosts, Joyce & Carlos, between about 4:15pm & 6pm!
And if you’re in Toronto, and morning is more your [...]
