My new book, THE GLORY AND THE DREAM: L.M. MONTGOMERY'S WRITING LIFE, doesn't drop for another week. But several independent bookstores already have copies in stock—including Words Worth Books in Waterloo, Ontario!

Was thrilled to come across this first edition copy of #LMMontgomery's 1937 novel JANE OF LANTERN HILL yesterday (McClelland and Stewart) at Old Goat Books in Waterloo, Ontario. Certainly warmed me up on a cold winter’s day!
