It was a full house for the launch of Enfield & Wizenty and our first titles; Widows of Hamilton House by Christina Penner, 10 Things to Ask Yourself in Warsaw, by Barbara Romanik, and The Tristan Chord, by Bettina von Kampen on September 18th at McNally Robinson in Winnipeg. All three authors were in fine form and E & W editor Maurice Mierau was an able host. For those of you who missed the event, we will soon be posting video highlights.
