David Annandale: 12:00 to 12:15pm and 12:30 to 12:45pm
David's Ravenstone thriller The Valedictorians will be released in October. This third episode in the Jen Blaylock series following Crown Fire and Kornukopia, finds the unlikely heroine torn between her need for retribution and her responsibility to Michael Flanagan, her lover, and the men following her into the breach.
Ken Kowal: 1:45 to 2:15pm
Ken's new poetry collection Gimp Crow was just released at the Times Change(d) High and Lonesome Club with the help of Winnipeg blues band, Blue Noise. This collection takes Turnstone Press back to its original poetry roots in the grand (or rather modest) tradition of Dennis Cooley, evoking a prairie simplicity of language and an unpretentious approach to the age-old themes of self-discovery and yearning for a different life.
Please come out to St. Norbert this Saturday for a chance to meet these Manitoba authors.
