Terry Fallis, a fellow Publisher’s Choice and iUniverse author, has won the 2008 Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour, which includes a cash prize. I’d like to point out that he beat traditionally published — and well-known — authors like Douglas Coupland and Will Ferguson to win this coveted prize.

Lifeliner at World’s Biggest Bookstore
Lifeliner is once again front and centre at the World’s Biggest Bookstore in downtown Toronto near Dundas and Yonge. Look for it on the Hot and New Nonfiction Table at the front of the store or in the Biography section upstairs under “T” for “Taylor,” Judy’s last name. All the copies have these beautiful blue…
Lifeliner Featured on Reader Views
It’s a big day! My book Lifeliner is featured on the main page of Reader Views all this week, starting today. There’s a synopsis, images, and links to more information and what they thought of it. And, as well, a press release has gone out to the world, telling all and sundry about Lifeliner. Actually…
Follow the Bouncing Lifeliner
Can you follow the bouncing book? Because I can’t! My marketing guy at iUniverse, with profuse apologies from him and Chapters, told me that Chapters is yanking Lifeliner from the display in the World’s Biggest Bookstore because of a “corporate initiative.” What the heck does that mean? Apparently, it means they need the space for…

Stop the Presses!
Contrary to what I’ve been telling everybody, Lifeliner is not being stocked at Indigo at Bay and Bloor, but at the World’s Biggest Bookstore on Edward Street near Yonge and Dundas. You will find it either on the Hot and New Nonfiction display at the front of the store or upstairs in the Biography section.…
In Indigo, and Amazon Shorts
Time isn’t a smooth, linear line; it’s a logarithmic curve that crawls and then gathers steam, until that big day, once barely visible in the far distant future, rushes upon us all of a sudden. Indigo at Bay and Bloor will stock Lifeliner: The Judy Taylor Story, starting on Tuesday, February 19 and ending 8…
Remember Feb. 19th — the Day Indigo Stocks Lifeliner
iUniverse and Chapters Indigo have an arrangement whereby Publisher’s Choice authors have their books stocked on the “Hot and New” table at the front of an Indigo or Chapters store in the author’s hometown for a limited period of time. The author has 8 weeks to prove that he or she can sell the book.…
The Ordering a Book Saga Continues
Well, apparently Christmas has put a hitch into the Indigo roll-out schedule. Since bookstores, like all retailers, are drowning at this time of year in orders and sales, iUniverse is holding off submitting fall-release Publisher’s Choice titles to the Chapters Indigo buyer until after the madness ends. In my case, January. That means my book…
