Here’s the fourth instalment in the Adventures in Solitude Home Movies, giving you a better sense of where the most of the action in the book takes place. And yes, even in Desolation Sound, every once in awhile you gotta take out the trash… thank god for Dave’s Garbage Barge! Please note the position of his toilet!

Thanks to everyone who pre-ordered a book! If you placed your order before the official release date of September 27, your personally signed book, along with my No Shucking Around Desolation Sound Oyster Recipe and (highly collectible) Adventures in Solitude Playlist lanyard are now on the way to places like Saskatchewan, Japan, Prince Edward Island, California, Sweden, the Yukon, Australia, Missouri, Quebec, Michigan, Germany, Ontario, England and many other… surprising places! Here’s hoping your book arrives safe, sound and swiftly. Thanks again.

Thanks very much to Michelle Edwards of Victoria BC, who very kindly snapped this shot yesterday, proving that the whole system actually works: on the day Adventures in Solitude was released, it actually really was in a store, the store being Bolen Books of Victoria! Thanks again to Michelle for the snap, and to Bolen Books for being so snappy about getting the book on the shelf. Love the placement!
