All True 2.0

10/27/2016

0 Comments

 
I'm so happy to announce that my next book will be out with Knopf (we're hoping for spring 2018), and I'll be working again with the great editor Anne Collins. Dan turns up at Boonesborough after running from Chillicothe, and further chaos ensues. Rebecca will have a lot to say for herself this time too. Title is coming.

That's a Wrap

One Book Kelowna finished last night with an illuminating talk from Dr. Margo Tamez of UBCO Indigenous Studies. Margo's perspective on the period, geography, language, and people of All True was sharp and insightful. We were lucky to have her there.  I then read a little from the new book draft (more news on that soon). Seems readers are ready for Rebecca to get mad.

Thanks to UBCO Library, Okanagan College Library, and Okanagan Regional Library for their warm sponsorship and support of these events this month. It's been so great.

Booked!

Great weekend in the mountain town of Fernie, BC, where I'd never been in spite of my upbringing not so far off. The rain rained hard, but at least 60 people still turned out at the beautiful Heritage Library for the Booked! reading series and an evening of live music, wine, and book talk (this library has its own bar. Believe it). Host Angie Abdou and I have a lot in common--first books were both short-story collections with Thistledown Press, for one--but I spilled more drinks than she did. Thanks to my hosts and sponsors, including the Park Place Lodge with its great glass elevator! It was good to talk about All True with people who know trails and trapping much better than I do.

One Book Kelowna: On Your Marks

10/4/2016

0 Comments

 
UBCO's One Book Kelowna is underway. We opened last night at the Okanagan Regional Library on Ellis, with the inimitable Michael V. Smith hosting, and Neela, a ten-year-old fiddler, providing period atmosphere. I talked a bit about how I wrote All True and read a short (non-vegetarian) section, and the audience didn't let me off with easy questions.  More events are coming up this month--next is October 12th at the UBCO campus for informal book-club discussion with readers. Everyone is welcome. There will be snacks. And I may wear my fancy shoes again, because they're invisible in this photo . . ..
