A short story writer, two novelists, and a poet walk into the Alexander Calhoun Salon at the Memorial Park Library... and charm us with superb readings from their brand new books!

This May, Freehand Books celebrates four new works from four talented writers. Join us in the Alexander Calhoun Salon at the Memorial Park Library for readings from Edmontonians Catherine Owen and Jasmina Odor, Calgarian Marion Douglas, and Ottawan Sara Power. After brief readings from each author, we'll break for snacks and drinks, then reconvene for a moderated Q&A period with the authors.

Please RSVP so we can anticipate attendance in advance!
