Author Signing July 29 2:30-4:30

Paul Schultz will be signing copies of his book The Fuhrer Virus on July 29 from 2:30-4:30.
Set during the summer of 1941, this is the story of a conspiracy hatched by a cabal of German officers and their American supporters to secretly infect Adolf Hitler with a virus that will render the Nazi dictator comatose for a crucial period of weeks.

Do you find yourself hunted and hounded by people who didn't/don't get "Why I Hate Canadians"?

Will Ferguson: Chat Noir? In New Liskeard?/

[Comment From Chat Noir Books]
yeah ;)

Will Ferguson:

One of the great things about being Canadian is that we live in one of the few countries in the world (Australia would be another possible one) where a book titled "Why I Hate Them" is assumed to be tongue-in-cheek. With Canada, it was sort of like titling a book "Why I Hate Bambi's Mother."/

3:59
Will Ferguson: I should explain. I lived in New Liskeard when I was with Canada World Youth. (Actually, in Haileybury with Candy Keith and Graham Gambles. I was volunteering at the agricultural college.)/



OKAY - Seriously, that is pretty cool. Will Ferguson knows who we are!!!
