Celebrating Canadian Authors

Colleen Mondor of Chasing Ray is heading up a celebration of Canadian authors today. Blogs from around the blogosphere are highlighting their favorite Canadian authors, and Colleen has the complete list here. You'll find my profile of Dennis Foon, as well as:

• Fuse #8 on graphic novelist Kean Soo
  
• The Seven Imps on illustrator Jessica Meserve and author Martha Brooks
  
• Jocelyn at Teen Book Review on Carol Matas
  
• Colleen herself has chose to highlight Pierre Berton, whose book on the Klondike Gold Rush is one of my husband's favorite books.

More entries continue to come in, so check out the Canadian literary celebration to find out about some great Canadian authors.
