That’s amazing! What a wonderful way to see the country! Love that the local library system hosted this event. They are an incredible resource. I have a big bias, given my mother was a librarian!

You are not only promoting your book but enriching the reading experience of the people who showed up, and promoting more reading. Good on you! My question (not too impertinent I hope) is about the economics of this type of event. Out of your own pocket, or is there supportive funding? (You have already written frankly about the economics of writing, so I hope this q is in order.)

Thanks, Jack. All costs were covered by the Thompson-Nicola Regional Library system.

How exciting that there are people who want to spend time reading and discussing books; and how exciting that they chose you as their inspiration. I hope these dedicated readers are able to influence their children and grandchildren to put down their phones and pick up a book.
