2) The Writers Reading Recipes podcasts on Julie Wilson’s BookMadam blog, including one of me reading a recipe for Butterscotch Brownies from The Joy of Cooking, which can be found here. Figuring out how to record myself without using an iphone or mic was a real technical adventure, alright. [BookMadam]

3) That I’m soon to begin prep work for the Humber summer workshop in creative writing, a highlight of my summer which takes place from July 9-15, 2011. [Humber School for Writers]
