Vancouver Island Reading


I am lucky to have fallen into the company of a very talented group of writers. They are extended family and friends through my marriage to Katherine. This poster introduces three of them. Katherine's brother, Paul Headrick, and his wife, Heather Burt, have published their first novels, "That Tune Clutches My Heart" (Gaspereau Press) and "Adam's Peak" (Dundurn) respectively. Andrew Brown is a long-time friend of the Headrick family, a teacher and a dedicated poet. They are doing a reading, their first collectively, on Vancouver Island on Friday, March 27th, at 7:00 p.m. at the Mulberry Bush Book Store in Parksville, and Saturday, the 28th, at the Vancouver Island Regional Library in Nanaimo. I did the portraits of all three for their books and publicity. I also edited, and designed the cover for, Andrew's first book of poetry "Crow's First Word" (Gravity Press). It has been my honour.
