Book Review: Orianna
A major belief of Lost Telegram Press is archiving. We want to preserve ideas that may be lost to time. One way of doing that is by reviewing books. This one is a great example of this archival ideal as it was a library find, and in the ‘free’ section. The cover caught my eye. It is self-published, Canadian and I only had to read a few lines to get caught up in it.
Amazon continues to sell books of hate
Now the interesting thing is, this is a book sold in the Amazon marketplace, a place where anyone can really sell anything, almost like an eBay store. There are no checks and no safeguards. In the United States that may be fine with an item like this as hate literature is not only legal to publish but also sell. In Canada it is not.
Canadian launch for The Last Furies
Along with the two launches that author John Biscello is doing for his novel, The Last Furies, in Taos and Santa Fe, we will be doing one here in Canada around the same time.
Canadian book launch for ‘Agathe’
If you in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, head downtown to HOME bakehouse & cafe (356 Queen Street East) on Thursday, August 21, between 4 and 7 p.m. to get a chance to see ‘Agathe, 6:00 p.m. to 7:27’ as well the other Lost Telegram Press releases.
Supporting media through media
Lost Telegram Press is now being advertised across the CBC Network. This includes CBC Gem (its streaming news site), as well as CBC Listen and the CBC home site. This decision to advertise with the CBC is an exciting step but came with some interesting roadblocks, not with the CBC, but with the changing world of advertising in general.
