I hardly ever talk about Caitlin because she has her own blog but it is definitely my turn to brag about her. One of her dreams was to write a book and last year she self-published Unlikely Heroes - Keeley. It has been a hit with all the 10 -14 year old girls we know. They are clamouring for the next book (Caitlin is planning a trilogy). Yesterday Caitlin was honoured by the University of Guelph at their Campus Author Recognition Evening. Students, Alumni and faculty (current and retired) were eligible. 42 of the 88 titles were written by the staff - mostly texts. Kevin, Caitlin, Connor and I travelled to the campus for the occasion. It was very nice. There was lots of food and a few short speeches. After the speeches the librarian Caitlin had been emailing found her and arranged an interview with the alumni newspaper.
On the wall behind her is a poster featuring her novel. All the authors were given a mounted copy of the poster to keep. That was really nice! Here is a link to her book page if anybody wants to see it.

That's great. Good for her. Pass on my congratulations.
Laurence made me read him a few paragraphs. He is totally impressed. He said the Caitlin's personal story has got to be an interesting one since she seems to be such an interesting person.
Good for her ... making her dreams come true early. I'm impressed.
