That’s right: this coming Saturday, May 5th, we’re throwing a party to launch Michelle’s newest novel, Silence.  It’s her first YA title, (about Emma, who learns that being able to speak to the dead is only the beginning of her problems) and it is spectacular.  If the book, the company, and the nibblies aren’t enough of a temptation, just think:  you’ll get to tease Michelle in a public environment!

We’d love for you to join us here at the store at 3pm.  Bring a friend!

Join us here at the store at 3pm.  There will be food, and drinks, and Michelle in all her glory.

Sunny, who chose Terminal Experiment:  “…partially because of the Food Food reference and his less than determinist approach to who you end up marrying.”

Charles, who chose Flashforward: “Why? Because I love hard Science Fiction with a philosophical overtone, and Mr. Sawyer’s stories rock!”

Jo, who chose Wake:  “There are very few stories where not only is the protagonist (or one of them) disabled, but she is also competent, resourceful and doesn’t lament what is missing in her life. She’s an excellent role model for disabled youth, and that is definitely a group that lacks role models.”

Next Wednesday, April 25th, Robert J. Sawyer will be at TIFF to talk about the seminal SF movie The Day The Earth Stood Still.  That in itself is pretty cool.  Even better, TIFF sent us three ARCs of Rob’s newest book Triggers to help promote the event.

Want a copy?  Email us at contest (at) bakkaphoenixbooks dot com, and let us know two things:
1) Which of Rob’s books is your favourite (and why)
2) How to contact you.

We’ll pick and post 3 winners on Friday April 20th.  Good luck!

And you can enjoy the sensory experience of used books in our very own “Bookmines,” where we keep our used, reference, and tie-in books.

We’ll also be here the whole time, open as usual.  Because we’re magic like that.
