Meet the authors during Meaford Library’s Koffee House Reads

Meaford has a small, but very very active library. There’s always something going on, whether it’s business seminars, such as last week’s presentation on “Facebook and your business”, by Meaford Independent editor, Stephen Vance; children’s activities year-round; or the annual short story contest for local residents.

Coming up over the next couple of months, you have an opportunity to meet and chat with authors who live in the area, hear their thoughts on writing, and enjoy the food and ambience at one of Meaford’s eclectic cafés.

Sea-change

Koffee House Reads kicks off at Eggcitement Bistro on Tuesday, March 27, with novelists Frank and Gillian McEnaney, authors of Sea-Change and Luminosity. Sea-Change is an epic novel following the paths of two Newfoundland brothers and their relationship with the sea during the tumultuous 20th century. Luminosity explores the world of 1960s fashion and obsessive desires, as two friends discover a strange secret revealed in a model’s photo.

57 hours

Then, on Tuesday, April 3, The Kitchen hosts Paul Wilson and Patricia Grant. Paul worked with Vesselin Nedkov, who survived the Moscow theatre hostage crisis in 2002, to write 57 Hours – A Survivior’s Account of the Moscow Hostage Drama – a gripping description of the events which culminated in the deaths of the hostage takers and at least 129 of the hostages.

City Wolves

On April 19, head to the Earth Harvest Café to meet Dorris Heffron, author of the historical novel City Wolves, the tale of Canada’s first woman veterinarian, the notorious “dog doctor of Halifax”.

There is Life After Death

And Tom Harpur, Canada’s best known spiritual author, journalist, and TV host will be in the Terrace Room at Meaford Hall on Wednesday, April 25, where you can enjoy wine and hors d’oeuvres during the event.

Tickets are $15, and you can pick them at the library main desk.
