Many of Canada's best writers joined Gail for an online launch of The Spawning Grounds in "Gail's Kitchen."

Gail did a series of local launches in her home region, the Shuswap-Thompson. Read about them in the Salmon Arm Observer, Vernon Star, and Kamloops This Week.

And then there were all the wonderful festivals across the country: Kingston Writers’ Fest, Calgary Wordfest, St. Albert StarfestVancouver Writers Fest.

A highlight of the IFOA was celebrating the 20th anniversary of Penguin Random House of Canada's New Face of Fiction program alongside Gary Barwin, Lynne Kutsukake and Yann Martel.

The folks at Grimsby Author Series really know how to throw a party!

Gail's book tour ended on a high note at the Read for the Cure in Vancouver Nov. 2.
