Author Cathi Bond reading from her book BESSIE at Music & Books,
Ayr, Ontario, June 15/24
RAMBLES ON BOOKS AND WRITING
Author Cathi Bond's interview with Emily Weedon - May 2, 2024
Emily Weedon, the hardest working writer I've ever met, kindly invited me to her house for an interview. I'm learning a lot from Emily about solo promotion. That girl is at a different bookstore all over Ontario nearly every day of the week reading from her new novel Autokrator. And Emily also writes a blog on top of everything else. Big boots to fill. Thanks for the lessons Emily.
BESSIE
by Cathi Bond
Book One of the trilogy
Woman of Good Standing
This is one of those books that is difficult to put down once you start reading. The characters just grab you and won’t let go. A masterful, skillfully told story. You will want to buy extra copies for friends.
-Don Oravec, former Executive Director at The Writers' Trust of Canada.
"A novel that celebrates the indomitable spirit of women who held families together in the face of adversity, prepare to be swept away by Bessie. A fast-paced, beautifully written story that will evoke a myriad of emotions that will leave you cheering, contemplating, and moved to tears. With its compelling characters and gripping plot, Bessie is one book that will keep you enthralled from the first page to the last."
— San Francisco Book Review

Double Book Launch
The Montreal Publishing Company was proud to launch two new books,
LOVE, GUNS & GOD IN AMERICA by Christian Fennell, and INHALED by Nathalie Guilbeault.
June 22, 2022 at the Burgundy Lion Pub, MONTREAL, QC.
Among friends and family, writer and coach, Alana Doyle, kicked off the event by introducing both authors, their styles, their genres—their differences and similarities.
​
Christian and Nathalie read a passage of each other's work and then answered a few of the crowd's questions. Unsurprisingly, there was a main curiosity that needed to be addressed: How is it to live with a writer? Well, they both agreed, you have to get used to being observed most of the time, and yes, learn to live with the high probability of becoming some form of literary road-kill.
