Book Lover's Ball coming soon

I'm going to be one of the participating authors at the Toronto Public Library's third annual Book Lover's Ball, coming on Thursday, January 31, 2008. It's a swanky, black-tie, $500-a-plate fund-raising dinner for North America's largest public-library system.

It's also the event at which I will pass the torch of the Toronto Public Library Celebrates Reading Award -- which I won last year -- to this year's recipient, my great friend, the wonderful mystery writer Peter Robinson.

I'm off to rent a tux this afternoon ...
