Join us for readings by Will Ferguson, Rachel Simon and Timothy Taylor, followed by a book signing.
In Canadian Pie, Will Ferguson shares stories from his travels to Yukon in search of gold, gives lessons of a mini-bar ninja and discusses his misadventures working on the Vancouver Olympics Closing Ceremonies.
Rachel Simon presents her new novel The Story of Beautiful Girl – named by USA Today as one of “Ten Books Not to Miss” – an unforgettably moving love story about the unbelievable odds faced by a couple with disabilities and a lost child.
Timothy Taylor’s latest novel, The Blue Light Project, tracks three days in the life of an unnamed North American city gripped by a hostage taking in a television studio in the center of town.
