New book launch event
October 11th, 2024
Author Margit Hesthammar is launching her latest book, The Devil Spinners (FriesenPress $25.69) on October 26, from 2:00 – 3:00 pm, at the Gabriola Library. Copies of Hesthammar’s book will be available for purchase during the event and will also be available for purchase at the Page’s Resort Bookstore after the launch.
The Devil Spinners introduces a quirky cast of characters living on the B.C. coast, where conversations thrive, and life unfolds amid the backdrop of Crawley’s Pub. In this collection of fifteen stories, edge-dwellers, poets, and lovable scoundrels navigate moments of life-bafflement, seeking redemption through unexpected interventions and shifts in perception. From Mike the lawyer advising Sam the towboat man on a DUI charge to Haley the musician sharing lessons learned from devil spinning, the tales capture a tapestry of interactions and experiences. With humor and heart, the stories illustrate how everyone is a “devil spinner,” navigating life’s uncertainties while offering readers an exploration of human connections.
