N.B. The following is not my blog, but rather is a guest entry from Amanda Forsythe. Amanda has asked that I periodically allow her to blog on my site, and since so much of my content is devoted to STAR Academy and Amanda, I could hardly say no. I hope you enjoy Amanda’s occasional musings. [...]

It will be something of a homecoming (always an opportunity for neurotic reflection), as I was born in Ottawa, left shortly afterward [...]
Was at the new Chapters Indigo branch in Milton, Ontario, yesterday to sign copies of STAR Academy. It’s a really nice outlet, just a few months old, with an intimate boutique feel.
