Dying Times: a novel by Darlene Madott – Exile’s first 2021 in-person event!

Sunday afternoon, September 26, 3:00 to 5:00

Open to the public: you and your guests are invited to the in-person BOOK LAUNCH of DARLENE MADOTT’s new novel DYING TIMES. 

The author will give three short readings, and will be signing books and answering all of your questions.

Complimentary Wine, Water, and individually packaged Hors D’oeuvres!

As attendance is necessarily limited, kindly RSVP as soon as you possibly can to admin@exileeditions.com

We expect approximately 75 – 100 people, while the venue holds 300-plus, so plenty of distancing will be available! (and artwork is hung throughout the gallery, for added enjoyment.)

Free parking, and TTC accessible from Kipling or Islington stations.

Important: we ask that you be willing to follow the province’s Covid-19 protocols: Proof of Vaccination will be requested at the door.

Download and print proof of vaccinations from this government site https://covid-19.ontario.ca/

Please wear a mask (masks and hand sanitizer available at the door.)

If you cannot attend, order the book at https://www.exileeditions.com/shop/dying-times/

Also available at Chapters/Indigo and Amazon online. 

The author and all of us at Exile are very much looking forward to seeing you at the launch!
