SUMMARY:Davis Bay Hall: Charlotte Morganti Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:The Sunshine Coast Writers and Editors Society is pleased to host local award-winning mystery writer Charlotte Morganti’s book launch of The Karma Murders.\nThe Karma Murders\nA driver falling asleep at the wheel. A truck slipping out of gear. A sailboat boom striking a sailor’s skull. \nSomeone is delivering fatal justice in Cheakamus\, B.C. He has anointed himself as Karma’s Helper\, delivering justice where it’s long overdue. \nTownspeople see these accidents as random acts of fate. But P.I. Gabe Gabrieli believes the truth is more sinister. He recognizes the pattern—a killer’s signature hidden in plain sight—and studies the threads connecting the victims\, searching for a common link. \nBrief AGM will be held prior to the launch. Goodies at the break. All welcome. Free.

SUMMARY:Ryan McMahon at the Festival of the Written Arts
DESCRIPTION:Engaging and honest\, Ryan McMahon’s music is written from the heart and sung from the soul\, following the lead of his peers Jason Isbell\, Nathaniel Rateliff and Warren Zevon. With six releases under his name and two with his side project\, the acclaimed trio Lion Bear Fox\, McMahon has established himself as one of western Canada’s most prolific singer-songwriters\, leading to multiple Vancouver Island Music Awards and supporting slots for Burton Cummings\, Tom Cochrane\, Mother Mother\, Lee Harvey Osmond and others. On his latest album\, Live Now\, Ryan’s storytelling remains deeply personal\, drawing on real-life stories. While firmly rooted in folk and roots\, the album also explores hints of rock and Americana\, creating a dynamic range to his music that makes each song an individual journey.
