Well, it’s finally happened! Exactly 4 years and 2 days since I started on this latest adventure, Day of Epiphany is now officially published and available at the FriesenPress Bookstore. Cue hfireworks!
As I mentioned in a few social media postings today, a lot is going to happen in the coming weeks and months, and I will be keeping you dutifully informed about readings and signings and (hopefully) a launch. The first such event will be a Local Author Showcase at the Civic Centre Resource Library, 2191 Major Mackenzie Drive in Vaughan, Ontario, where—ironically— I’ll be signing copies of The Perpetual Now. I wanted to get out and talk about my work as close to publication as possible, but seeing as I won’t have copies of Day of Epiphany for at least another 3 weeks, I’ll bring along a few copies of my debut opus and plug both novels. The event will be held this Saturday, October 26th, from 2:00 to 4:00. It’s free, of course, and everyone is welcome.
Meanwhile, I’ve prepared another trailer for the new novel, this one slightly longer, more detailed and—dare I say—more dramatic. You can view the new clip on my Facebook or Instagram pages, or on my YouTube channel (still pending at the time of this writing).
So what’s next? Well, beyond the aforementioned promotional events and inevitable social media onslaught, there will be reviews, award submissions, a smattering of advertising opportunities, perhaps an interview or two (???), as well as a major overhaul to my author website, jeromejbourgault.com (not to be confused with the one you’re currently visiting, which doesn’t have the middle “j”). And when Day of Epiphany isn’t filling my time, maybe The Perpetual Now will be able to ride piggyback on all the attention generated by its younger sibling, and enjoy some of the visibility it was denied as a Covid baby.
And lastly, there’s still novel number 3 which has been resting (and simmering) for a while. I’m looking forward to plunging back into that rabbit hole: who knows what’s been going on down there since I’ve been away?
As always, stay tuned my friends!
So I wrote this novel...
