When The Globe and Mail published my essay last month, I had a memory flood back.
When we moved to Montreal in the summer of 1993, my average in Language Arts was 99%. I had wooed all my junior high teachers likely being a bit of a smooth talker and making sure to get in the right groups. Being fourteen, I bragged to my parents that of course, i knew everything.
Introducing my next book, The Chemistry of Innovation: Regis Duffy and the Story of DCL. This book introduces you to to two of the famous people in my life – my mom and dad.
Spring update and welcome to pandemic life in Canada! While 2020 has thrown us many curveballs, there have been some pleasant surprises. First of, I have graduated from President of PEI Writers’ Guild to Executive Director!
Hark! Mo Duffy Cobb is returning to the classroom this Fall, both at Holland College to teach a new batch of growing young writers, and also at a small art studio in Bedeque, called Soul Play PEI.
What a thrill for me to be going back to The Word on the Street Festival this weekend, the place where four years ago, I first pitched #Unpacked to a panel of publishers. I was terrified, but it worked! (For more about that or to pitch your own books, read the Atlantic Books Today feature).
I had the pleasure of offering a Memoir Workshop yesterday with this beautiful group of souls, at the Kensington, PEI Senior Surfers Group.
One of the most wonderful ways I have gotten to know my readers is by attending book clubs all over PEI. These have been a truly special time to chat with people about the book’s resident themes.
Sharing a few memories from the Book Launch, Thursday, June22nd, 2017.
Tomorrow night, I will celebrate the launch of “Unpacked: from PEI to Palawan” with a literary inspired reading at the Confederation Centre Art Gallery in my hometown of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, followed by a book launch party at Upstreet Craft Brewing.
I have asked musicians, other writers and my nearest and dearest to be part of the celebration. There will be fiddlers, cupcakes, stickers, buttons, and in the middle, I will read a chapter from Unpacked.
