Attention all Canadians! I’ll be touring Canada from Vancouver to Toronto next month. I’ll be doing twelve cities in twelve days! Share this around. And if you’ll be near any of my stops, come say hi!

In some places I’m giving a presentation; in others, just hanging out at a pub. But in every case, I’ll have all my books on hand, and I’ll be selling and signing anything you bring or buy (every title should be available, unless any sell out). I’ll be happy to chat about anything over drinks, too. For the presentations, sponsors may be charging at the door (to help cover the venue), but very affordably (around $10-20 Canadian).

So mark your calendars!

Why am I doing this astonishing thing? I’ll be literally driving in my own car from one city to the next. All on my way back home to Ohio, after attending a pagan wedding rite for one of my girlfriends in Washington, who married one of her loves. That’s right. I’m polyamorous and a libertine. And in honor of that I’ll be celebrating ethical nonmonogamy all the way home. So if anyone wants to ask to be my date at any of the events below, you are welcome to message me on Facebook about it!

Instead, I will be speaking & taking questions on The Scientist in the Early Roman Empire for SOFREE from 7-10pm in The Malt Room of the Lion Brewery at the Huether Hotel (59 King Street North). I’ll also be joining them for dinner at 6pm in The Cavern (also at the Huether). I’ll be selling and signing books as usual.

So that’s Canada! I’m also doing some tour stops in the U.S. on the way there and back. I’ll announce those next. And yes, in case you were inclined to ask: I do have in mind planning an Eastern Canada tour next year!
