Good friend and Fantasy writer, Steve Parker, known to many of you as the man who holds the downstairs desk at Mac’s Fireweed Bookstore–ordering your books, being pleasant, being Welsh–is the proud author of a new book, Skrelsaga, now available at Mac’s.  Here are a few photographs of his signing.  

 

This is, I think, the first Fantasy novel published in the Yukon.  Yay, Steve!  

More on the book in a review that will come later. For now, we celebrate the achievement!

Starting in the fall, I’m going to be doing the afterschool programs for teen writers at FH Collins (our second year!) and now, at Porter Creek.  It’s for science fiction and fantasy writers, and everyone’s welcome.  There is a fee.  We do serve food.  

 

It’s through the City of Whitehorse.  You can contact Mia Lee at 668-8327 or mia.lee@whitehorse.ca to be a participant.  More information to come.  Programs will start up in late September or early October.  The guide comes out in two weeks so we’ll have more info then.
