Thanks to the Bookmark for having my books for sale at the recent #LMMontgomery conference hosted by the L.M. Montgomery Institute! Not included in this photo are copies of my most recent book, The Glory and the Dream: L.M. Montgomery’s Writing Life, which had sold out by the time I took this photo.

New featured content at L.M. Montgomery Online: profiles of Montgomery that appeared in newspapers and magazines between 1901 and 1914, balancing praise with misquotations, misunderstandings, and downright mistakes (including more than one that shaves three years off her age!). lmmonline.org

I’m always getting well-meaning people telling me they never read YA but they liked my books anyway. It’s been going on since I started publishing books 15 years ago. It never seems to occur to them that this is not a compliment.

Last year, I published a list of scholarship on L.M. Montgomery’s life, work, and legacy in languages besides English. Now, on the eve of the 150th anniversary of her birth, let’s look at recent items in English that were contributed by scholars located in nineteen countries around the world.
