Biology isn't boring - so why are so many biologists?
I'm a writer, but I'm also a scientist. Science, I found, was the easy part.
Good writing changes the reader. It can inform, or it can entertain. Even better, it can do both.

Upcoming events, readings, talks

The week of November 17 will be a busy one. Following the launch and slide show at the Vancouver Aquarium on November 18, I'll drive to three B.C. coastal communities to do readings, show pictures and listen to what people have to say about some of the local fisheries issues (and we have many!).

  • On Thursday, November 20, I'll be at Breakwater Books in Powell River, at 7 PM. Address is 6812A Alberni Street. Tel 604-489--0010
  • On Friday, November 21, I'll be at Coho Books in Campbell River, also at 7 PM. Address is 1074 Shoppers Row, 250-287-3336. Paul Rudan wrote a great accompanying story for the Campbell River Mirror.
  • On Saturday, November 22, I'll do a reading, slide show and talk at Bean Around the World cafe in Courtenay (379 Fourth St.). This one is at 2 PM, and is organized by Laughing Oyster Bookshop, where there will be sales and signings after the talk (250-334-2511).

These are all great places, with a rich maritime history; I've visited them all, many times, by car or by boat. Going with new book in hand will be fun.

Great talk at the Aquarium today. As mentioned in the signing portion the images were truely amazing and complemented your talk really showing the audience into a part of the world that few have experienced. Thanks.
