On this edition of 鈥楾oday in BC鈥�, host Peter McCully chats with two authors, Susan Musgrave of Haida Gwaii and Sam Wiebe of New Westminster, on the third edition of the 鈥楳ade in BC Book Club鈥�.
In the first segment of 鈥楾oday in BC鈥�, Susan Musgrave talks about two books.
The first a book of poems entitled 鈥楨xculpatory Lilies鈥� was dedicated for her late daughter and husband and has been selected for the shortlist for the prestigious 2023 Griffin Poetry Prize.
Musgrave also worked with Chef Lisa Ahier on her book of stories and recipes from Tofino鈥檚 SoBo Restaurant.
鈥榊ou can find great recipes online now for anything. So, I think the stories and cookbooks are what interests people and they like to make the food, but they like knowing the story behind something. It鈥檚 a combination of the Southern influence on her cooking and the way she includes all the people who work for her. And she has profiles about that, or people who are friends but who bring her ingredients,鈥� says Musgrave.
Sam Wiebe is the author of 鈥楽unset and Jericho鈥�. Set in Vancouver it is the latest installment of what鈥檚 been described as 鈥淭erminal City鈥檚 grittiest, most intelligent, most sensitively observed contemporary detective series鈥�.
Wiebe told McCully, 鈥榁ancouver has been a really important part of the Wakeland series since the beginning. I chose it because it鈥檚 the city that I know the best. It鈥檚 where I grew up and I think that its history really lends itself to the detective crime fiction genre. we have this beautiful picture, postcards, image, a very cutting edge, progressive city. And then there鈥檚 this darker side. I think that putting those sides in conversation is just really good for the kind of books that I write.鈥�
For his book, 鈥楬ell and Gone鈥�, Sam Wiebe received a silver medal from the Independent Publisher Book Awards.
