Our hard-working, energetic vice-president
of the BC Chapter of Crime Writers of Canada, Cathy Ace, wants everyone to know
that the annual Arthur Ellis Awards Shortlist night will be held on Thursday,
April 24th in the Peter Kaye room (lower level) at Vancouver’s main
public library, 350 West Georgia. The event starts at 7 p.m.
Shortlist night was created to celebrate
the best in crime writing and announce the top five nominees in several categories. The winners will be announced at the Bloody Words
conference which takes place in Toronto, June 6 to 8th. Cathy,
myself, Eric Brown, Robin Spano, and Dietrich Kalteis will be answering deviously
designed questions created by moderator, Don Hauka, who also happens to be a
terrific crime writer. If you’re a fan of crime fiction who lives in
the Lower Mainland, or close enough to travel to the library, please join us.
You can learn more from the Facebook page Cathy created at https://www.facebook.com/events/1424730867771090/?ref=5
Similar events will also be hosted the same
night in Toronto, Calgary, and elsewhere. You can learn more by visiting the

As a former resident of New Westminster,
BC, I can tell you that this terrific city has a vibrant artistic community. To
that end, the city will be hosting its annual literary festival on April 25th
and 26th. There will be presentations, workshops, performances, and
exhibitions.
I will be exhibiting books on Saturday, April
26th at Douglas College from 9 until 4, and I tell you I’m looking
forward to it. It’s always great fun to step away from the day job and
reconnect with fellow authors, listen to speakers, and talk to people about
books. If you’re interested in attending you can find more information at http://artscouncilnewwest.org/litfest/
Hope to see you there!
