Too Many Books In The Kitchen

I'm Michael Hingston, books columnist for the Edmonton Journal (new columns appear every Friday). See below for other stuff I've written.

My first novel, The Dilettantes, will be released in fall 2013 from Freehand Books. Here's everything you might want to know about it.

Other topics under discussion: podcasts, strange sodas, the Wu-Tang Clan, and Moby-Dick.

Email me, if you like, at hingston [at] gmail [dot] com. I'm available for hire and I like free books.
