Friday July 16th book signing

Local author Johanne will be in the store on Friday July 16th signing copies of her book "Loves me... loves me not" 2pm to 4pm.

Have you ever believed you were invincible, or that bad things couldn't possibly happen to you, especially, after having survived a rough childhood? Well Johanne did! She believed her future was going to be smooth, pleasant and filled with great happenings until fate intervened.

Miles, in his thirties, a wonderful father, a kind and giving brother to seven siblings, a treasured and respected son, a sociable friend and co-worker, to put it simply, a man loved by many is also Johanne's best friend, caring husband and the love of her life for eleven years, a relationship that is put severely to the test.

Within seconds of trying to swerve away from an oncoming tractor trailer, Miles lost everything he had, the memories of the past and the ability to ever walk again.

"Loves me... Loves me not" recounts the struggles a wife endures as she watches her husband suffer through amnesia, a broken spirit and a shattered life. Truly, a book about the triumph of the human spirit.

Grey Owl and Me: Stories From the Trail and Beyond (Paperback)
by Hap Wilson Illustrated by Hap Wilson and Ingrid Zschogner
Publisher: Dundurn

Hap Wilson is back for another journey, this time on the lighter side of the adventure trail, where the bizarre melds with the sublime. Nurtured by the writings of Canadian environmentalist and wannabe-Native, Grey Owl, Wilson adopted a lifestyle similar to the 1930s conservationist but with his own twists and turns along a meandering path full of humorous misadventures. Wilson, too, learned many of his nature skills as a youth, paddling in Temagami, working as a wilderness canoe ranger and guide, and following in the footsteps of one of Canada's most revered outdoor icons.

The author recounts early days winter camping, motorcycling the Labrador coast, and teaching actor Pierce Brosnan how to throw knives and paddle a canoe for the Richard Attenborough film about Grey Owl. He also takes us to a few of his favourite places and shares intimate secrets of wilderness living. Here, Grey Owl has returned as an ever-present critic -- a buckskin-clad spectre in a modern world of Gore-Tex, Kevlar canoes, and gear freaks.
