I have a soft spot for the Vancouver Writer’s Festival because I volunteered for it for many years. It became one of my rituals of autumn, walking around Granville Island in the pouring rain with writers from around the world. Wet umbrellas and new ideas and good books to curl up with over winter!

So I’m thrilled to be part of it again this year, as an author this time. My co-author, Paula Ayer, and I will be giving a presentation on some of the ways water is truly amazing.

It’s also a perfect opportunity for me to hear some readings by authors from far away. How lucky I am!
