Mothra is the name of an old Japanese movie about a moth monster. I'm thinking about Mothra today because I just finished writing my story about moths for Maclean's Magazine. I got the idea because there are moths in my kitchen. Every time I think I've wiped them out, they're back -- like Mothra, who was the enemy of Godzilla.

It's July 4 and we're having a barbecuefor all our American friends living in Montreal. My husband came up with the idea because he is a dual citizen and he's really into July 4!

Other news: I taped that segment about books for CTV this week. Turns out it's going to be televised across the country on Saturday, July 12 from 8 to 10 A.M. and again on Sunday, July 13 from 7 to 9 A.M. Knowing my blog readers, you'll all be fast asleep. Will check in again next week before I leave for Winnipeg and then for San Francisco. Happy July 4!!
