Guess where I'm going tonite in the 'metropolis' of Gananoque??
I'm going to The Socialist Pig for a latte and there, Mark Sinnett, the author of The Border Guards will be reading from his book (and I hope to get an autographed copy too.) 
There is only 1 copy left in stock at Amazon and this is part of their review of same:
"Set primarily in Kingston and the Thousand Islands area, a popular summertime playground that in winter becomes a treacherous and desolate locale seemingly populated primarily by spies, smugglers, and border patrols, The Border Guards features a colourful United Nations-style cast of characters that includes Russian gangster Nikolai Petrovitch, Canadian political power broker Michael Hollins and his restaurateur son Tim, FBI agent John Selby, art dealer Hanne Kristiansen, and English soccer hooligan turned executioner Adams Denver.
The novel opens on Christmas Day, but the setting is far from festive or tranquil. Tim and his chef Rebecca are forced to flee their riverside restaurant, hiding in an ice crevice as potential assassins hunt them down. Sinnett leaves their fate up in the air, and cleverly begins to explain how they got in that predicament, in a story that is consistently gripping and as fast-paced as a toboggan ride down a frozen slope.
The plot line of The Border Guards allows for some interesting discussion of such topics as international security in the post 9/11 world . . ."
Gananoque, Kingston and the 1000 Islands have so much to offer, I would love to help you do more than simply read about us! We have homes for every budget, on the water or inland . . . so get in touch with me, Susan Emo, Your Gananoque Realtor and I'll show you something new to write about!
