Don't Miss the Book Launch

See You There

My friend Anne McDonald is launching her novel To the Edge of the Sea tonight Thursday April 28, in the Arizona Room at Bushwakkers. It is scheduled to begin at 7:30. This should be the most interesting book launch of the year in Regina. There will be a reading, door prizes, potato skins, great beer and an opportunity to get your hands on this great book.

In the middle of an election, the launch of a book about the time and events around the shaky start of our Confederation seems just right.

The book is published by Thistledown Press. They say Anne McDonald weaves a series of spells that pull this beautifully written novel through a tightly woven script. Rich in tone and textured for a very rewarding reading experience, To the Edge of the Sea combines great storytelling with polished literary control.

I have seen an advance copy. It looks great. I can’t wait to read it. Who could argue that a book about our first Prime Minister, a tightrope walker, a travelling road show and cases and cases of champagne wouldn’t catch your attention.

So I very much hope that you can make it and I hope to see you there.

Oh yeah, just a note, bring cash. Bushwakkers doesn’t have an ATM and author’s events are traditionally low tech. (read no debit machine)
