Alan Woo, the author of Maggie’s Chopsticks, and I are pairing up for the Vancouver Island leg of the BC Book Prizes Book Tour. Pretty amazing the Book Prizes put this on. All told, they sure cover a lot of ground: Peace Country, Northern BC, and the Interior as well as the Island.

We start our week in Nanaimo next Monday and follow up with Port Alberni, Parksville, Campbell River, Courtenay, and Ladysmith. We’ll visit schools in all of these places, and bookstores and libraries here:

Monday April 29, 6 pm Nanaimo Harbourfront Library
Wednesday May 1, 7 pm Coho Books, Campbell River
Thursday May 2, 6.30 pm Courtenay Public Library
Friday May 3, 2.30 pm Mulberry Bush Books, Ladysmith
