If you’re looking for a holiday gift and want some written inspiration, why not buy a book? I’ll be at Windows on the Water (formerly Woods Showcase) at Sunnycrest Mall in Gibsons this Saturday (Dec. 14), from noon to 3 p.m. I’ll be selling and signing the following books that feature my writing:

  •  Emails from India: Women Write Home (Last week, The Georgia Straight included it in their list of recommended gifts for travel-lovers)
  • Gracie’s Got a Secret (I’m sold out of the related finger puppets – won’t have more until a new shipment comes in)
  • Vancouver’s Glory Years
  • Raincoast Chronicles 22 (I’m sold out of my personal copies, but Windows on the Water still has several, I believe; it’s #2 on Harbour Publishing’s bestseller list in B.C.)
  • The DVD A New Way: An Organic Garden Changes Lives.

I’ll have snacks for the kids. This will be your last chance before Christmas to have me sign any of these books. Pop in and say hello if you’re around.
