Regional author Jenna Morland has added another appearance to her Prince George visit.
The writer of Empress Unveiled, a young adult/urban fantasy story centred on high school protagonist Swayzi, was already committed to a book signing event at Cole's Books on Oct. 6 but by popular demand she has now added an Oct. 5 appearance at Books & Company.
"It was really exciting to hear, but Cole's sold out of their first shipment so we had to send them extra stock, and Books & Company ordered a shipment for their shelves as well, so you can now get Empress Unveiled at both those places in Prince George," said Morland.
The Fort St. John writer is a Prince George relative by marriage (her husband is from this city, and many friends and family are here). Swayzi is a northern girl by literary construction. Morland hopes the northern lights, forests and snow she uses as a backdrop for the teen adventure fantasy will resonate with readers in this region who have rarely seen a character who comes from their homeland.
Morland will be happy to talk about that with readers who come to meet her at Books & Company on Oct. 5 from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and at Cole's Books on Oct. 6 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
