Protagonist more than her intellectual disability

An excellent review of my new novel, Colours in Her Hands, at Winnipeg Free Press! The title is perfect: "Protagonist more than her intellectual disability". As those of you who have read the novel know, Mina is SO MUCH MORE. A very warm thank you to @winnipegfreepress.com

COLOURS IN HER HANDS -Alice Zorn, with Christine Fischer Guy Join us for the launch of COLOURS IN HER HANDS by Alice Zorn! With Christine Fischer Guy.

On Thursday, January 30th, Christine Fischer Guy and I will be talking about my new novel, Colours in Her Hands, at Another Story Bookshop in Toronto. Talk will be lively. Please come! More details at www.eventbrite.ca/e/colours-in...

If you're travelling a great distance, try the train. Take a sleeper. Feel how you're moving across the ground. Relax. From Winnipeg to Toronto = 38 hours, 1500 km or 930 miles. While on the train I found out that distance in train lingo is ALWAYS measured in miles, even though Canada uses metric.

Photos of Sharon Berg on the left and Alice Zorn on the right. The cover of Alice's book is in the middle. Underneath is a quote from the interview Sharon did with Alice about her book. "[T]here is no novel in English about a middle-aged person who has Down Syndrome. There are novels about parenting a child with Down Syndrome, but they're about the parents. Occasionally I've come across a cameo appearance of a character with Down Syndrome, but it's brief. I wanted Mina's presence in the novel to be front stage centre, even if the novel wasn't going to be all about her. I also wanted to write about an older adult where the question of continued autonomy arises."
