Meet Ms. Julie

And no, I'm not talking about the film by Swedish director Alf Sjöberg. I'm talking about the star of a new campaign that will soon be launched by the Quebec Writer's Federation (QWF) to promote English-language books written by Quebec writers.

Ms. Julie c'est moi.

The pictures are in and they are spectacular! I cannot post them quite yet as the campaign has not been officially launched, but I grateful for the extra time it gives me to get used to the idea of my body and face on posters, brochures and stickers (oh, yes, I said stickers). I can't wait to show you the promo stuff - and I'm especially looking forward to Ms. Julie making her first in-person appearance at BookExpo in Toronto this June 15-16.

I was made to shmooze with big Canadian authors and get dreamy-eyed about MTLit. In preparation, I am reading Bang Crunch by Neil Smith, Vandal Love by D.Y. Bechard, and Bottomfeeder by Taras Grescoe. Whatever I don't finish now, I can squeeze in on the train to T.O.

While you wait for my stellar supermodel debut, check out Seen Reading. You'll kick yourself for not having thought of it first.

For the last week, the suspense of knowing what that photoshoot was all about was killing me.

Were you going to promote a new brand of Yogurt? Tell children about the danger of STDs? Sing the wonders of Viagra? Sell some sort of perfume? (Fragrance Palanca!)

The suspense is now over. You're promoting culture. That's so great! I can't wait to see the results. Share the links as soon as you can...
