Caroline will read from her marvelous new novel, Penny Loves Wade, Wade Loves Penny (Oolichan Books). It's the story of Wade and Penny Toland. Wade, adrift behind the wheel of his long-haul truck, is on an odyssey from the Peace River region to a mysterious island off Vancouver Island and on to the Kootenays, encountering lotus-landers, biker gangs, and a ravishing all-woman country punk band called the Sireens as he tries to make it home to Penny. At home, Penny has her own challenges, defending the family's land and enduring covetous neighbours, not-so-friendly bank managers and suave strangers while she waits for Wade's return.

"A beautifully written and marvelous story! Characters with dignity, characters you like, care for, root for." - Paulette Jiles, author of The Color of Lightning and Enemy Women

When Caroline lived in the Courtenay area she often spent Sunday afternoons in the Courtenay Library working on this manuscript. "It's a beautiful building, so filled with light. I found it a wonderful place to work and I look forward to visiting it again."

Laughing Oyster Books will be on site with copies of Caroline's book for sale.

Caroline's first children's book, Singing Away the Dark (Simply Read Books), is scheduled to be released in late October so it may be available, too.
