Tour of the Kootenays

By Book Tour, Dalen and Gole

Mike Deas in the Kootenays promoting Dalen and Gole Graphic Novel.

October brought a great school and library tour of BC’s Kootenays. My wife, Nancy, and I visited eight towns: Fruitvale, Kaslo, Nelson, Salmo, Cranbrook, Kimberly, Fernie and Sparwood. I got the chance to share the creation process of my latest graphic novel, Dalen and Gole: Scandal in Port Angus and meet some great aspiring artists. The hospitality and scenery were fantastic. I would like to thank each of the schools and libraries we visited for the warm reception and enthusiastic audiences:

Fruitvale Elementary, Fruitvale

JV Humphries School, Kaslo

Nelson Public Library, Nelson

Salmo Elementary, Salmo

Amy Woodland, Cranbrook

McKim Middle School, Kimberly

Fernie Heritage Library, Fernie

F.J. Mitchell Elementary School, Sparwood

Also, I would like to thank the Kootenay Library Federation for making this all possible!
