Angie Abdou On Her New Book and What's On the Horizon

Posted:

Mar 30, 2021

Writing this book taught me the value of a simple life, the restorative powers of nature, the serenity to be found in a simple walk of the woods, and the great happiness of spending as much time as possible with my immediate family. I had no idea how useful these lessons would be once March 2020 rolled around.” - Angie Abdou

Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese

Posted:

Dec 31, 2012

In 2011, my first novel, The Bone Cage, was a finalist in CBC’s national book program called Canada Reads. NHL celebrity Georges Laraque defended The Bone Cage in the debates that aired on Jian Ghomeshi’s Q. The whole thing was an incredible thrill – especially my moment on stage at the Toronto launch. There I stood between (gorgeous) Georges Laraque and (very handsome) Jian Ghomeshi, while Jian insisted “I am not short!” and Georges and I looked down and replied “Actually, you kind of are.” The whole thing was – to put it simply – so freaking fun!
