My novel Please Stand By had a “pre-launch” in Edmonton at Audreys Bookstore on September 29, 2019.
I suppose “pre-launch” means a limited release of the book before the publisher’s official release date. The event was well attended. Apparently, the novel is number 4 on the Edmonton fiction bestsellers list for September 29, 2019:

Please Stand By is number 4. The Testaments is number 5.
I can testify that coffee and cookies were served at the pre-launch. I can also testify that my brother ate most of them.
The Toronto launch is TBD. It is not TD. I bank at Scotia.
The official release of the book is October 15, 2019. Get your motor running.
Thank you for your continued patience and tolerance.
