Local author Christine Cowley is having a book launch for her new work, "The Gift: "Sharing Your Life Lessons with the People You Love Most." It's a terrific book, about how readers can create something to give to loved ones and friends, and leave a lasting memento.
Susan and I had the honour of reading through one of the early drafts. We were very impressed, and even talked about doing something ourselves. It goes over the steps you need to take, and helps you organize your ideas and plans to make it as painless as possible, especially for the non-writers.

The event is planned for Sunday, November 14, 2010, at the Collingwood Public Library, 55 St. Marie St., Collingwood, Community Room A, 2 – 4 p.m. You should come out to meet her and learn about it.
Christine is also the author of Butchers, Bakers and Building the Lakers. It is the best book on local history ever published, and winner of several prestigious awards. It is an absolutely stunning work that should be in the home of anyone interested in local history and heritage. It is available for purchase at the Library (but, sadly, because of bizarrely fatuous and self-defeating policies, is not available at our local museum which should have celebrated its release instead of ignoring it...).
