Book Signing and Q+A

Join us for an engaging book signing and Q&A with the celebrated CBC Literary Prize winner, Susan Cormier! ✍️✨

Hailed as "gorgeously-written and surprising" and filled with "humour and insight", her latest work, Dead Bees Still Sting, is a collection of enchanting stories set against the backdrop of South Langley’s urban wildland. 🌳🐝

ABOUT THE BOOK
Dead Bees Still Sting immerses readers in the beauty, humour, and truth of semi-agricultural life on a small acreage alive with wild and domestic animals, buzzing with half a million honeybees, and dotted with whimsical fruit trees. Follow the journey of a beekeeper-poet navigating nature and human settlement across five seasons.

Experience the quirky cast of characters, including Birb, a playful hand-raised quail, and the affectionate companionship of Frodo the rescued rabbit, alongside elusive deer and wise owls. Cormier's lyrical prose examines the poignant realities of agrarian life and uncovers surprising truths about nature's cycles. 🌸
