I was thrilled to welcome attendees to the launch of my new historical novel, Everything I Hope For. As a Canadian writer, I shared a bit about my writing background, along with a reading of the first chapter of Everything I Hope For. Have a listen to my welcome message. You can order my book from greygoosepress.com or Amazon.

Enjoy this glimpse into the story of A Small Compass with a reading of two passages celebrating these female Canadian legends of the nineteenth century. Strong female characters take us with them into the wilderness on each of their journeys into the Canadian wilderness as the first two non-Indigenous women to go there. Canadian historical fiction that brings this world alive!
