"Two Generals" Book Release Party

It's been a long, long road, but the release of Two Generals is finally just around the corner. And it's getting a big kick-off with a book release party on October 30th at the J.A. McIntosh Armoury in Cambridge, Ontario, the headquarters of the former Highland Light Infantry of Canada (which is the regiment depicted in the book).


The book release party begins at 7pm in the Officers Mess. The Armoury is a historic building and the Officers Mess really hasn't changed since the First World War. It's very much where the story begins, so it's appropriate that the book will start its journey there, too. The regimental museum will be open throughout, and volunteers dressed in WWII-era uniforms will be on hand to lend an authentic feel to the evening. There will be a (cash) bar open in the Mess, historic photographs and artifats on display, and original art from the book for sale (as well, of course, as the book itself!)

This event is free, and open to the public, so take a step backward in time and come help me celebrate the book's release by touring the regimental museum (which will still be open in the evening) and drinking in the same room that the officers of the HLI of C did. It's going to be a grand time!

Note: The Armoury will also be holding an open house from 10am to 5pm that day, during which time the book will be on sale and I'll be there to sign them prior to the 7pm book launch party. This would also be a great time for anyone interested in military history to come see the displays.

WHERE: The J.A. McIntosh Armoury, 1 Valour Place, Cambridge, Ontario.
WHEN: October 30th, starting at 7pm. Open House from 10am to 5pm.

EDIT: Please note that the time of the book release party has been changed to 7pm.
