Toronto the not so goodREVIEW / Cathi Bond's Night Town is a vibrant, harrowing first novel

Gerald Hannon

Hey there! I know it’s been more than a week, but what a week+ it’s been. The writing’s finished, but the publicity machine is slowly assembling itself around me, like a promotional exoskeleton.

Here are just a few parts of the beast, a.k.a. what publicity and press people historically have brought to the party, but are now part of the writers’ responsibilities.

Howdy! I’m feeling like a cowgirl today who is rounding up the cattle after a long drive back to the ranch.

I've picked my cover. Yep, it’s fabulous, and nope ... I'm not showing you.

“Why?” you ask. “Anticipation and buildup,” I reply.
