If you have plans for this Friday please cancel them and come to the woods with me instead! <\/strong><\/p>\n

On Friday August 7 at 7 p.m<\/strong>. I’ll be reading a passage from my debut young adult novel<\/p>\n

Queen of the Godforsaken<\/em><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s a sneak peek at the novel as it doesn’t officially launch until October, 2015 with Thistledown Press<\/em>.\"Woodhaven\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Woodhaven will be the first event that I read Queen of the\u00a0<\/em>Godforsaken<\/i>\u00a0to anyone who is not legally or biologically related to me. Woodhaven is the perfect spot to read; the\u00a0Woodshed is a cozy, relaxed spot in an Okanagan forest. My favourite place to be on earth is in a forest so, I hope this helps keep me focused and relaxed for the reading.<\/p>\n

It should be a fascinating night. I’m looking forward to listening to Sarah de Leeuw (the keynote author at this event). She is a geographer and poet. I’ve had the chance to read a few of her poems (she uses the Canadian landscape throughout her work). I am excited to read more of her work especially Skeena<\/em>, her poetry based on the Skeena River (I know this amazing river as I have family in Terrace). I love how she plays with the \u00a0physicality of being in nature in her work. It resonates with my own work, and how the prairie landscape is, in itself, a major character in Queen of the Godforsaken<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Queen<\/a>Consider this your formal invite!<\/strong> The reading is open to everyone and the event is free. Come and enjoy readings by myself and BC author, Sarah de Leeuw and music by Sami Al-Kahalili. Please do come\u2014I’d love to see a few friendly and familiar faces in the crowd at my very first novel-reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
