Such a wonderful variety of people use libraries. It's a treat to be here all day and meet everyone, be they coming in for a book, a DVD, to play with the Wii, to use the computers, curl up and read with their children, meet with their friends, or -- right now, to write a novel!
Last week, the Book Club was treated to a wonderful time with local author Joan Boswell. Her latest, Cut to the Chase, is available on sale at the library.
And this month, we've got a special writer "in residence". Martin is enjoying some time away from his work at Carleton University, visiting relatives in the Dwight area, and he's making good use of the library computers.
Which is where he is working on his novel. In the fine tradition of authors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and J.K. Rowling, who created some of their very best work in coffeeshops and libraries, Martin writes where he finds the space.
Martin, who writes under the name William Kendall, has several books planned out in his series. What genre? Thrillers, set in the Middle East. We do wonder if there will be a Muskoka connection... but we shall have to wait and see! After all, he lists his interests as including Writing, photography, hiking, rock climbing, getting into trouble, causing mischief and mayhem... and we all know that Muskoka offers plenty of scope for that!
