Kootenay Authors Meet & Greet Saturday
Author Keith G. Powell, along with Lotus Books, is hosting an open house and book signing event on Saturday, December 6 from 2 to 4 p.m.
Everyone is welcome to stop by for coffee and cookies. It’s a great way to learn about Kootenay books and do a meet and greet with a number of Kootenay authors who will be in the store for the afternoon.
Powell, author of the popular new book, Fisher Peak Chronicles, will be on hand to share his Mount Fisher stories, sign his new book and collect any new Fisher Peak stories and photos people might like to share. This is your opportunity to visit with many of the contributors to the book who also have been invited to attend this event.
“This is really an appreciation event, and an open house for the public. It is a great opportunity to thank all the dozens of contributors to my new book, Fisher Peak Chronicles,” said Powell. “So many people generously contributed their stories and photos to the project, so I wanted to thank them with a special event. I am hoping that people will also bring their Mount Fisher stories and photos to share with everyone else. Who knows, maybe some of these stories will end up in a future edition of the book?”
Fisher Peak Chronicles, just released this fall, contains over 30 accounts of adventures on Mount Fisher, dating back to the first time the mountain was climbed in 1910, and has over 70 photographs documenting much of the Fisher Peak experience and history.
“Fisher Peak Chronicles has been one of our best-selling books this fall. We are excited to host this event and to have so many Kootenay authors in-store too,” said Erin Dalton, owner of Lotus Books. “At Lotus Books, we love special events and this is a great way for us to support the local writers in the community and give our customers the chance to meet these authors in a casual, comfortable setting.”
You are invited to come by and meet local authors this Saturday, December 6, at Lotus Books 33 –10thAvenue South in downtown Cranbrook, 2 to 4 p.m.
