Tune in November 16 at 2 pm for Charles Foran Interview

Mordecai – unauthorized, of course – is the first biography of Richler to be written with full, exclusive access to family letters and the private archives. It is a sweeping account of his life – from Montreal, Paris, Ibiza, the South of France, London, and back to Montreal. It is also an extraordinary love story: his devotion to the beautiful Florence Mann, whom he met on the eve of his wedding to another, lasted more than forty years.

Tune in on Tuesday, November 16 at 2 pm to listen to my interview with acclaimed novelist and journalist Charles Foran and find out what it was like to chronicle the life and times of such an iconic figure!

Ooh, it's going to be good.

Many thanks and warmest wishes,

Stephanie Dickison

Tune in Tues, Oct 19 for a Riveting Interview with Valerie Fortney

I had the honour of interviewing veteran journalist Valerie Fortney about her new book, Sunray: The Death & Life of Nichola Goddard.

It’s a helluva talk we had and incredibly moving.

And I had the good fortune in being able to speak with Nichola’s Mum, Sally Goddard as well, while they were here in Toronto last month.

Read more about Nichola and see why you can’t help but feel close to her.

I hope you'll tune in on Tuesday, October 19th at 2 pm to listen to these extraordinary women share Nichola's story.

Many thanks and warmest wishes,

Stephanie Dickison
