Friday, 20 June 2014
1 - 3 pm and 6 - 7 pm
St. Paul Value Drug Mart
(new location by Sobey's)
June 16, 2014 , St. Paul,
Alberta - In a gathering unlike any St. Paul has seen, six area authors will
be introducing themselves and their books to the community at a group
autographing session in the new St. Paul Value Drug Mart on Friday, 20 June
2014 from 1 – 3 pm and again in the evening from 6 - 7 pm.
A broad taste of books will be available to purchase from
the authors. Shannon Ouellette, writing
as Shannon Raelynn, will be there with her romance, SEASCAPE.
Diane Beveridge,
writing as Diane Peeling, will present her brand new book of poetry, A JOURNEY
IN WORDS: Discovering my Being, which Michael Simpson reviewer for The
Observer, Vegreville calls, “an
emergency companion to reconnect with your Center Being...”
.
Award winning author, Diane Robinson, will be on hand with
the two books in her children’s series: SIR PRINCESS PETRA and SIR PRINCESS
PETRA’S TALENT.
Learn a bit of local history from Ella Drobot with her
semi- autobiographical anthology BEHIND THE KITCHEN STOVE and Nicholas Verbisky
with his autobiographical EMBARRAS PORTAGE: Before, and After.
Eileen Schuh will be promoting the first three novels in her
young adult BackTracker series: THE TRAZ, THE TRAZ School Edition, FATAL ERROR
and FIREWALLS as well as her adult science fiction novellas, SCHRODINGER’S CAT
and DISPASSIONATE LIES.
Schuh’s BackTracker novels are on the shelves of venues such
as the North Slave Young Offenders Facility and the St. Paul Alternate
Education Centre outreach libraries as teaching tools for at-risk youngsters
and the adults in their lives.
“All the authors are very excited about this opportunity,”
Schuh says, noting St. Paul and area businesses, organizations and individuals
have been exceptionally supportive of her career. “We love writing and are
really looking forward to sharing our words first hand and face-to-face with
members of our community.”
As St. Paul doesn’t have a bookstore, the Value Drug Mart
for years has supported area authors by stocking their books. Now, with an
expansive new location, they’ve decided to further promote the literary arts in
their community by sponsoring an autographing event for the authors behind the
books on their shelves.
Hope Ainsworth, Store Front Manager for St. Paul Value Drug
Mart, whose idea sparked the event says, “We are looking forward to showcasing
talent that is in our own backyard and seeing many of you stop by to chat
and meet the people behind the stories .”
