It has just come to my attention that my book “iceberg tea” has become an international seller. I have sold the first (of many, I’m sure) copy on Amazon UK.
As soon as I heard the news, I began to wonder who in the UK would have ordered my book. Then it dawned on me that it must have been Will & Kate. It now seems obvious that they must have ordered it some time ago and their delight in the stories inspired them to include Yellowknife on their Canadian tour.
They must have been secretly hoping to meet me to get their copy of “iceberg tea” personally signed and dedicated.
Now I feel really bad for not going downtown the day they were here. I didn’t go because I wanted to do some work on my next book and I thought the half-hour drive from Prelude into town, the hassle of finding parking and the wait in the crowd would all take too much time out of my day. Besides, I thought, I could probably see them better of TV.
That was before I knew about they were fans of “iceberg tea.”
So what can I say now except, I’m so sorry, Will and Kate.
But, hey, next time don’t be so shy. Give me call and I’ll be happy to sign the book. Maybe we can even go roast wieners on the sailboat.
