This weekend, however, she will be heading west!

On Saturday evening you can catch her at Bolen Books in Victoria and then on Sunday afternoon she will be in conversation with Annemarie Tempelman-Kluit founder of yoyomama and reading from A Trick of the Light at the Chapters bookstore at Granville and Broadway in Vancouver. 

Next week, Louise will be in Winnipeg at the Grant Park McNally Robinson on Tuesday September 27th at 8pm.

Chevy Stevens Events This Weekend!

Events + Fiction / July 19, 2011

Just a reminder that Chevy Stevens, author of New York Times bestseller Still Missing and Never Knowing, will be signing books in Nanaimo and Victoria this coming weekend. Chevy will also be signing at the Chapters at 2505 Granville Street, Vancouver next Monday.

The newly released Never Knowing was reviewed in The National Post at the weekend by Rachel Harry: 

Never Knowing is the second in a trilogy focused on the common theme of the therapist’s office where these terrifying discoveries are confessed. Each chapter is divided into therapy “sessions” at which our heroine meets with, it is assumed, the same therapist from Stevens’ debut novel Still Missing... If you love racing through a psychological thriller, or if you’re interested in writing within this genre, read both of these novels back to back and witness the development of a talented new storyteller.

And by Carolyn Cooke for Surrey Now last week:

Stevens has a knack for capturing difficult family dynamics while building a breathless, twisting plot that rushes to an unexpected but inevitable conclusion. 

Here are the details for those events:

Saturday July 23rd, 2pm
Chapters Nanaimo
6650 Mary Ellen
Nanaimo, BC

Sunday July 24th, 2pm
