Phyllis Bohonis, formerly of Thunder Bay, will be launching her debut novel Fire in the Foothills at the Slovak Legion (801 Atlantic Avenue) on September 16, from 7 – 9 pm. Bohonis’ tale is fraught with suspicion, murder and hope and woven with colourful threads of honesty, humour, and raw emotion. She will be on hand to answer questions and sign books, which will be available for purchase.
About the Author:
Phyllis Bohonis was born in Saskatchewan and lived most of her life in Thunder Bay. Her education and career path were in accounting but her passion was always to work with words, not numbers. Phyllis has travelled extensively in Canada and the United States and some of her favourite places are the inspiration for settings in her novels. After publishing several memoirs and short stories, Phyllis has launched her first novel Fire in the Foothills. She presently lives in Ottawa with her husband Ray.
Andy Beaver’s intimate connection to the land and scenery around him began in his home community of Nibinamik First Nation. In describing his favourite photo, he says, “There was a forest fire a few years back. It was dark outside, and I had my camera. You could hear the flames raging in the night and the northern lights were visible overhead. Just this huge green band over the fire. It only lasted a few seconds, and I snapped the shot.”
