A chilling collection of stories unravelling the consequences of longing, broken trust, and deceit.
When our own darkness is mirrored in multi-faceted characters, do we look away in disgust or find the humanity within them? In his debut short fiction collection, John Mavin has slyly exposed themes hidden deep below the surface with breathtaking potency, eloquence, and wit.
On Saturday, January 18th, 2020, I invite you to join Cathy Ace, Eileen Cook, and I at the Golden Ears Writers and Readers Festival at The ACT Arts Centre in Maple Ridge where there'll be vendors and blue pencil opportunities (from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.) and workshops, too, but there won't be an admission charge.
John Mavin (10:30 a.m.) Extraordinary People: The Craft of Character Creation
Cathy Ace (Noon) Find Crime, Detective and Mystery Books to Match Your TV Viewing Tastes
Eileen Cook (1:30 p.m.) The Power of Story: How Stories Can Change Your Life--or at Least Your Brain
