I started this "favourites" feature because I wanted a way for readers to get to know the authors attending BookBuzz Toronto, an event I'm helping with. I hope you enjoy learning a little more about these amazing women and I hope you can attend the event! Learn more about BookBuzz Toronto here.
Today's featured author is Francine LaSala. I've read her novel Rita Hayworth's Shoes (my review is here) but I have not yet checked out The Girl, The Gold Tooth and Everything - and I plan to as soon as I find the time! Francine is one of the original BookBuzz authors and helped plan the New York City event this past May and I'm happy she's making the trip up to Toronto for this event, too!
