Searching for the April Moon Book Launch
Thursday, October 23, 2008, 7:00pm
Museum of Northern BC, Prince Rupert.
All are welcome.

With the publication of Searching for the April Moon this fall, Creekstone Press, based in Smithers, British Columbia, Canada, celebrates its tenth anniversary. Since our first book came out in 1998, we have published non-fiction, fiction, poetry, photography, and painting, and featured writers and artists from northwestern BC. Contributors include Nancy Robertson, Perry Rath, Sheila Peters, Bob Henderson, Gillian Wigmore, Ken Leighton, Iain Lawrence, Mark Perry, Jean Rysstad, Leslie Barnwell.

Some of the writing, set in Smithers, the Hazeltons, Terrace, Prince Rupert and other communities of the Skeena and Bulkley watersheds - Gitxsan and Wet'suwet'en territory - reveals the colour of small town and rural life in northwestern BC.
Other work reflects the diverse nature of writers living in the northwest – you might find yourself in the wilds of the Spatsizi or Tatlatui Wilderness Parks, riding horses across the Stikine or Firesteel Rivers, rowing a boat along the Sunshine Coast north through the Inside Passage to Prince Rupert, in Vanderhoof and the Nechako and Fraser watersheds, or on the Haida Gwaii – the Queen Charlotte Islands.

You might find yourself wandering along a Baja beach and reflecting upon the challenges facing those caring for aging parents.You might find yourself exploring the connections between your experiences with your parents in an extended care hospital wing and your travels with your son to New York and Parisian art galleries.

In all of the work, you’ll find an honesty and integrity we’ve been proud to bring to our readers.
Please join us in raising a toast to our writers and artists!
