“It all started with two terrific stories by Carmel Mikol and Hector MacNeil,” says Breton Books editor Ron Caplan. “We had to share them—but two stories are not enough for a book.” So Caplan and his co-worker Bonnie Thompson gathered the twenty new stories that became Local Hero. Caplan points out that “Cape Breton Island has to be the short story capital of Canada. We’ve produced so many award-winning writers. And Local Hero is proof that taut, powerful and deeply involving stories continue to be written here.”
Local Hero will be launched at the McConnell Library on Tuesday November 24, 4 to 6 pm. There will be punch and cookies, and CBC Mainstreet’s Wendy Bergfeldt will broadcast the party live. This free event will include reading from some of the authors including David Muise, Joyce Rankin, Carmel Mikol, Bill Donall, Hector MacNeil. Larry Gibbons, Julie Curwin, D.C. Troicuk, Charlotte Musial, and Teresa O'Brien.
