Beneath Dark Waters has Arrived!

I’m writing this on Saturday April 26, which happens to be Canadian Independent Bookstore Day. It’s a great time to visit your local bookstore, hang out with authors, find things for the kids to do, and maybe win a gift card or a bundle of books.

It’s also a way to say thanks to the booksellers, who support us through launches, readings, and with their vast knowledge of and passion for books. Bookstores make our world a better place.

I’ll be dropping in to a few of my local bookstores today to sign copies of Beneath Dark Waters: The Legacy of the Empress of Ireland Shipwreck.

Early signs are looking good!

• The Globe & Mail chose Beneath Dark Waters as was one of their TOP reads this spring

It’s an Audio Book!

I’m also thrilled that Beneath Dark Waters is now an audio book – my first! And, this is how I would sound if I was a voice-trained actor born in the US.

Win a Copy:

 To celebrate publishing 50 episodes of Cold Case Canada and in advance of the launch of my new book, Arsenal Pulp Press is giving away copies of Beneath Dark Waters: The Legacy of the Empress of Ireland Shipwreck. See details to enter.

Upcoming Events:

Please join me to celebrate the book’s release at my Ladner, BC launch on May 7 or at my Vancouver launch at the Museum of Vancouver on Thursday May 22.

I’m delighted to be appearing at the Saskatchewan Writer’s Festival in July – my first trip to the province. I’ll be at the Abbotsford Community Library in September, at the North Vancouver District Library in October, and I’ll either be dropping by or zooming in to a few book club meetings. As more dates are firmed up, I’ll post them on my Events page.

Beneath Dark Waters is available online through all the usual sources, through Arsenal Pulp Press or online or in person through your favourite indie bookstore
