Owen Sound - Monday, November 17, 2014 from 7:00 to 8:00 pm the Library is hosting local author Jake Doherty. Tickets are available at the Library for free. Do not miss out on this opportunity to hear the last author in our fall series.
Though born in New Brunswick, he now lives in Meaford near Owen Sound and spends considerable time sitting on his deck, drinking white wine -- or a good single malt -- and watching the sun go down on Georgian Bay. Most mornings though are spent in his basement office writing and taking his direction from P.D. James's "...perennial fascination with the mystery of mortality...rights vindicated, order restored."
