All in the Name of Literacy
Our sincerest of apologies to the Vancouver Community for any over-inflation we may have done to the following individuals egos, by placing them in a calendar, entitled Reading is Sexy:
- Monique Trottier – @somisguided
- Lori & Richard Yearwood
- Patrick Tubajon – @iheartgudrun
- Raul Pacheco-Vega – @hummingbird604
- Ian A Martin – @atomicfez
- Rayne
- Lorraine Murphy – @raincoaster
- Mark Leiren-Young – @greenpieces
- Monica Hamburg – @monicahamburg
- Ian Ferguson
- Emme Rogers – @EmmeRogers
You see, it is for a good cause and all in the name of literacy. Aside from sadly feeding Emme’s ego and launching her into a new-to-her form of media, the calendar, we are helping her to raise funds for a cause that both she and we believe in - literacy, and more specifically, dyslexia. A healthy portion of the proceeds from the calendar and the photo auction will be going to The International Dyslexia Association to help them get kids (and adults) with dyslexia to overcome their literary hurdles and have fun with words.
As our way of apologizing to the community, for allowing the above individuals to call themselves Miss, Ms, Mrs or Mr (Insert Month here) for the next year, we are helping Emme to throw a Reading is Sexy Literary Celebration this Thursday. Here are the details:
Cost: Free
Local: Gudrun Wine & Cheese Bistro (150-3500 Moncton Street, Steveston, BC)
Date: Thursday December 3, 2009
Time: 7 pm until late
Festivities:
- general revelry and enjoying of Gudrun Goodies (We will buy a few plates for the room, but bring some money with you to enjoy more Gudrun Goodies and some of the delicious wines and beer)
- readings from a few of our authors (Ian Ferguson, Mark Leiren-Young, Lorraine Murphy, Raul, Rayne … to name a few …Emme may even read something from my yet to be finished novel)
- special guest reading by comedian, Kirsten Van Ritzen
- calendar signings by the ‘models’ on hand
- auctioning of some of Robert Shaer’s photos from the shoot for charity
Come, heckle our various months and enjoy a good night of laughter.
And once again, our sincerest apologies, and please don’t blame the photographers, Robert Shaer and Tris Hussey, for this.
Oh and if you can’t make Thursday, but do want a calendar, you can order one here. (If you are in and around Vancouver, ignore the shipping costs as we or Emme can figure out physically getting it to you. Similary, you can ignore shipping costs and pick up a calendar directly from the Canadian Branch of The International Association of Dyslexia, if you are in Toronto.)

Lori Goes Viral
Posted by Erica on July 17, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Howling with laughter!!! Always knew our very own Lori Yearwood was a Rock Star, but the paparazzi pics that spread virally of her on the web today proves it.
Not much of a celebrity hound or quite frankly an advocate of star power, but I have to say that it was interesting to see how a paparazzi pic taken of our very own star, Lori Yearwood, could go viral on the web in a day. She’s on:
…. and the list goes on. And the funny part, the info they gave on all these sites isn’t even accurate. Same misinformation across the board. Just goes to show you that not everything you read, especially online, is true.
As for the original photographer? Not a clue, but glad nobodies jumping out of the bushes to shoot me.
