We had an Author Book Signing last night... Got a chance to meet Jay Ingram from Daily Planet on the Discovery Network. Very nice guy who humoured me when I asked for a picture... Is anyone interested in the Author events that we host, 'cause I could post 'em on here... We have another one that is a fund raiser for the new Pride Library at the University. (Oh, I hope I got that right...) Well, it's a library that focuses on gay and lesbian authors, and gay and lesbian issues. The Authors name is Emma Donoghue. Conron Hall at 7:00pm Wednesday Nov. 29th, University College Building on the main campus of UWO.

Emma Donoghue is an award-winning Irish writer who lives in Canada. At 37, she has published four novels, three books of short stories, two works of literary history, two anthologies and two plays.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, on 24 October 1969, Emma is the youngest of eight children of Frances and Denis Donoghue. She attended Catholic convent schools in Dublin, apart from one year in New York at the age of ten. In 1990 she earned a first-class honours BA in English and French from University College Dublin, and in 1997 a PhD (on the concept of friendship between men and women in eighteenth-century English fiction) from the University of Cambridge. Since the age of 23, Donoghue has earned her living as a full-time writer. After years of commuting between England, Ireland, and Canada, in 1998 she settled in London, Ontario, where she lives with her lover and their son.
