Join local and visiting authors Melissa Kuipers (The Whole Beautiful World), Sue Bedford (It's Only the Himalayas), and Shekhar Paleja (An Extraordinary Destiny) as they share stories that will transport you from the back roads of rural Ontario to the snowy peaks of the Himalayas and the crowded streets of 1990s Bombay, India.

Melissa, Sue and Shekhar will be pleased to answer your questions about their books, all of which are inspired in part (or wholly) on their personal experiences. Ask Melissa about mattress surfing; quiz Sue about the time she ran from a lion in Africa; and get Shekhar to tell you the story of his visit to India as a young man.

Grab a friend and head on over to Ben McNally Books to get to know these authors and their stories, and pick up signed copies while you're at it.
