Steven Beattie and I had a long conversation about the novel, historical fiction, and my literary obsessions at his blog.

The Last Word on Historical Fiction
The last of my essays in The National Post on the subject of historical fiction and the place of my novel, Underground, within that context.
The Past is Slippery
Here is my latest essay, on historical fiction this time, at the National Post. 
On Writing Underground – on Writing History
The first of my series of brief essays on the background of my latest novel and on writing historical literature in general appears online at the National Post today.
Appearances
At the moment, June 2016, I have completed the edits on my forthcoming memoir (May 2017) with ECW Press, The Barefoot Bingo Caller, and I am working hard on rewriting another novel before resuming work on The Rhyming Assassin. There is plenty to do.
This August I will be speaking in Palanga, and then in the fall I’ll be with Humber at Word on the Street in Toronto, The International Festival of Authors, and the Assembly Hall reading series.
