This unique award for young LGBT writers was named in honour of a former colleague who died in 2006. Dayne and I were editors together in the 1990s. He was also an accomplished writer and passionate arts lover.
Again, on the 11th, I'll be featured as one of 50 celebrity writers at the Book Lover's Ball V as we raise money for the Toronto Library Foundation.
Look like there's going to be a lot of eating and drinking in service to some great causes this month!

Happy 79th, James Dean! Yikes, can you imagine? Not really. Had a great time yesterday at an Author's Brunch fundraiser for the Dayne Ogilvie Grant for Emerging LGBT Writers, sponsored by the Writers' Trust. Dayne and I were colleagues at Xtra! in the early-90s. He was an editor, writer and arts patron, so it's fitting that this grant should be established in his name by his good friend, Robin Pacific. Writers Wayson Choy, Maureen Hines, Brian Francis and Zoe Whittall were there, along with many other enthusiastic supporters of the arts. It was a friendly, homey crowd. I read briefly from The Honey Locust, my new literary novel published by Cormorant Books. The wine was pretty good, too.  |
