As a regular reader of The Calgary Herald, I was interested this story by author Katherine Govier involving the newspaper.

Curiously, today’s Calgary Herald features author Joan Crate’s new novel Black Apple that bears similarities to Govier’s book. Both deal with First Nations issues and have a protagonist named Rose or Rosalie.

Joan’s book launch is this Tuesday, March 1, at Shelf Life Books. I look forward to reading with Joan on April 28th at Writing in the Works at Owl’s Nest Bookstore.
