Bookmark, Charlottetown’s independent bookstore, is excited to be hosting two fiction authors in the bookstore on Wednesday, June 3rd at 7 pm. Join us for a wonderful evening featuring Halifax author Jeff Miller and Island author Katie Mac. This is a free event, and all are welcome.
Pulsing with the raw energy of basement punk shows and DIY creativity, late-night manifestos and first heartbreaks, Jeff’s novel Temporary Palaces is a blazing debut that captures a generation caught between idealism and survival, art and activism, the dreams that define us and the compromises that save us. According to Sean Michaels the book is "a plainspoken, punk-rock hymn ... This is a book that will pick you up off the floor of a mosh pit and wrap you in its arms."
From the author of Ken’s Corner, comes a murder mystery set on the Island. Katie’s new novel Dunk River Murders follows Maggie, a woman who is burnt out in her old political job and is running away from her problems by way of fly fishing, until dead bodies keep inconveniently popping up in her river. With a demoralized cop on the case, a traumatized potential survivor, and a web of mob deals to untangle, the only way to solve the murder might be to ask her unsavoury former boss for help.
JEFF MILLER is the author of the award-winning creative nonfiction collection Ghost Pine: All Stories True. His stories have appeared in several anthologies, and he frequently publishes criticism. Jeff holds an MFA from the University of British Columbia and lives in Nova Scotia.
KATIE MAC writes noir, thrillers and westerns, all with a little bit of love and comedy. She co-wrote the Bell Fibe TV1 show Currie, based on the life of PEI-born wild west outlaw George 'Flat Nose' Currie. Katie received an Island Literary Award for her short story 'The Key to Wednesdays' and her debut noir novel, Ken's Corner was published in 2024.
