Growing up in Cape Breton, Frances Peck wrote for pleasure all the time. But in her twenties, with bills to pay, she gave up creative writing to work as an editor, instructor, and writer of other people’s words. Then something happened. In her late fifties, Frances, now in North Vancouver, published not one but two literary page-turners, The Broken Places (2022) and Uncontrolled Flight (2023).

Join Frances for a lively talk about her writing path, her novels (including one in progress set in Cape Breton), and her discovery that it’s never too late to realize your childhood dreams.

When: Thursday, April 16, 6:30-7:30pm
