I am excited to be doing a number of Rafael Has Pretty Eyes readings and workshops in September and October. The first will be the AfterWords Literary Festival in Halifax, followed by the Marble Mountain Literary Festival in NL and the Frye Festival in Moncton, NB.

Rafael Has Pretty Eyes is already in most chain and independent bookstores. But we will be officially launching the collection March 29 at 7 p.m. (Room 301) at the main Halifax library. All book lovers are welcome and there will be cake.

Review: ABT and The Miramachi Reader

“Rafael Has Pretty Eyes is an eclectic short story collection, firmly Maritimer in its language and setting. It flips expectations on their head. McCluskey’s execution of surprise is masterful.” All reviews are on the Rafael Has Pretty Eyes page.

Thanks to Susan Juby for saying lovely things about the Most Heartless Town in Canada while appearing in Shelagh Rogers.  Susan called my book the Canadian version of The Family Fang, which was both generous and inspiring. Thank you.
