Napoleon has begun a new fiction imprint aimed at younger adults in their twenties and thirties and the first publication under that imprint is "Short Candles", by award winning Ottawa author Rita Donovan. Rita read from "Short Candles" and signed copies of her book.<br /><br />Also in attendance were Laurie Channer and Kerry Kelly, who will be publishing their titles with Darkstar Fiction next year. Laurie has written a novel called "Godblog" and Kerry has written "The Year She Left".<br /><br />If you live in Toronto and have not yet done so, dash down to the most beautiful bookstore in Toronto at 366 Bay Street - Ben McNally'sNapoleon and Companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08420561583500291831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061280225820650077.post-15366414157544912482007-11-30T17:46:00.000-08:002007-11-30T17:48:35.628-08:00Welcome to the blog for the brand new Napoleon and Company imprint, Darkstar Fiction!Napoleon and Companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08420561583500291831noreply@blogger.com
