We have been hit with the lucky stick to have this pic, taken by the one and only photographer and author Gary Fong from his car while driving through Venice, CA. Dan did say this, or something like it.
Very happy that All True is a finalist for the BC Book Prizes. What a great list for the Ethel Wilson Fiction Award--and I've long admired British Columbia author Ethel Wilson's writing (1954's Swamp Angel is pretty great--girl with a gun, for one thing). April 30th is announcement day, but before then, some of the finalists will be touring BC giving talks and readings. I grew up in BC but haven't been far beyond the Lower Mainland and Okanagan, so I hope to see more of the place in the next month. Unlike Dan, I don't do so well sleeping in lean-tos, however. Anyway, reading dates will be posted here.
