Welcome to the world: Corporate Control!
My fifth book is out!
It’s official! Corporate Control is out! I know, it’s been available at bookstores for a few days now, and some of you might already have received your copy. If you have, enjoy!
A book’s official release date is a very terrible day for the author. This is my fifth book. Two of those books came out amid COVID-19 lockdowns and the fourth came out last summer. You always hope that your book enters the world screaming and being held by everyone saying, yes Nora, this is the most beautiful book in the whole world.
But it never happens like that. It isn’t real life. The book comes out with a very soft thud that only the author’s past self hears, months and months after they last saw the words inside the book and said to themself — I never want to read this ever again.
Though in real life, it doesn’t happen like that either. When your babies are whisked off to the NICU and you’re just happy that they’re alive, you learn a lesson to not be excited by someone else’s day.
Anyway, with a book release, there is way less blood and bleeding. I’ll be able to play sports immediately. My books will never talk back to me.
Like all good mothers, I have no favourite children, nor do I have favourite books. But I do think that Corporate Control is very good. Where Part 1 of the Canada in Decline series, The Social Safety Net, sets the table, Corporate Control explains how corporations have staged a coup in Canada and control most of every aspect of our lives.
Please buy a copy, or ten copies and share them with all of your friends. If you’ve ever wondered why we hear so little about how much corporate control in Canada, this book will tell you why. Where can you get it? Anywhere, but you can start here to find an independent store: https://www.indiebookstores.ca/
And, while the last book was entirely shut out of media, I’m very pleased to say that CBC has added Corporate Control to not one list of anticipated books this season, but two! Even better, my publisher got CBC to change the photo from a terrible old photo of me from a story, to my official author photo, unlike the last time.
Book tours cost money that no one seems to have, and so I need to be creative to be able to do events. If you’re hoping that I do an event at the local bookstore in your town, feel free to ask if I’m planning to come through any time soon, or check out www.noraloreto.ca for events I have planned. Otherwise, unless you have a bucket of money, we will have to keep our distance for now.
Enjoy the read! I appreciate it!
Picked up my copy today. Looking forward to reading it!
Congratulations! I look forward to reading it. Glad they changed the photo for you ha ha.
