Another absolute blast of a dinner last night with Kate Hilton and Elizabeth Renzetti, who joined us to talk about Bury the Lead, and everything Quill and Packet.

All three courses were delicious, as we've come to expect from Cirillo’s Academy; the staff were welcoming, and the atmosphere was warm. Thank you!

And, thanks to Kate and Liz, thanks to House of Anansi Press, and thanks to everyone who came out and joined us for an evening of laughs, and smiles. The best part is that we all left with a great mystery to take home and curl up to.

Can't wait for the next one!

Join New York Times bestseller Clare Mackintosh on April 29 as she discusses her latest pulsating thriller with fellow author, Nita Prose!

In A Game of Lies, seven reality show contestants are trapped in the Welsh mountains with no idea what they’ve signed up for. Each has a secret they need to keep to avoid elimination, but with a murderer in their midst the stakes are even higher. What do you do when every suspect has an alibi, and a secret worth killing for?

The 50-minute discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A. Clare Mackintosh will sign books following the presentation. Books will be available for purchase courtesy of Ben McNally Books.

This event is presented in partnership with Soulpepper Theatre Company.

A thousand thank yous to Helen Humphreys, HarperCollins Canada and, of course, Cirillo’s Academy for helping us put together another wonderful dinner. The food was delicious, the talk was insightful, and the good cheer in the room was contagious.

A huge especial thanks to everyone who came out and joined us for the dinner. There seemed to be unanimous agreement that it was not only great to meet Helen, but to learn about her new book Followed by the Lark, and to hear about her process writing the novel as well.

What a fantastic atmosphere there was the whole evening. And the best part is: we all have a tremendous novel to read now!

We have two more dinners planned for the coming months, so stay tuned!

Oh what fun we had last night with our inaugural Authors Dinner, which featured the magnificent Nita Prose talking about her newest novel The Mystery Guest (as well as all things Molly the Maid!)

Cirillo’s Academy were such great hosts! With attentive and knowledgeable staff, fantastic food, and such a warm atmosphere. Thank you!

And thank you to everyone who came out to be a part of the fun! There were a lot of laughs and big smiles, and it felt great to be back with a great author event! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
