I discovered yesterday that two of my books have been nominated for the Church Library Association of Ontario's "One Book/ One Conference" discussion, which will be held at their Fall Conference on October 3rd at Tyndale University and Seminary in Toronto. The conference will celebrate CLAO's 40th anniversary. Dr. James Beverly, author and professor, will be the keynote speaker.
There will also be workshops, including a panel with at least 4 Canadian authors.
And there will be a discussion time focused on one book, by a Canadian author, that all participants are to have read prior to the conference.
Books nominated for this honour include:
The Shack (William P. Young)
Christianus Sum (Shawn J. Pollett)
Hot Apple Cider (edited by N. J. Lindquist and Wendy Elaine Nelles)
Broken Angel (Sigmund Brouwer)
Love Comes Softly (Janette Oke)
One Smooth Stone (Marcia Lee Laycock)
Cibou (Susan Young de Biagi)
Shaded Light (N. J. Lindquist)
Mohamed’s Moon (Keith Clemons)
Vengeance (Donna Dawson)
The Book of Negroes (Lawrence Hill)
The Cellist of Sarajevo (Steven Galloway)
More details about the books and the conference.
No matter which book wins, I think this is a super idea, and I commend the CLAO committee for their efforts to support Canadian authors.

You’re in GREAT company! And I see a few titles worth checking out, too. If they choose HAC, they will gain exposure to a LOT of writers, which would be nice, I think.
