The Third Man Factor
Good news and bad news in this post! Bad news is that Sally Amstrong is not able to join us. The TRS team wants to encourage to get your hands on her new book Bitter Roots, Tender Shoots. It is such an inspiring read....do it.
Good news now: John Geiger, adventurer, explorer, great writer, terrific speaker is joining the TRS on February 17. This you don't want to miss. His new book is The Third Man Factor. What a read! In this work, Geiger explores interior terrain and talks to many people famous and ordinary about moments of extreme anxiety, stress, or peril and how a presence arrived to comfort them. Sometimes female, sometimes male, sometimes simply a calming comforting presence, the 'third man' gives them the strength, power, inspiration to continue. This is an awesome read and so, so beautifully written. It is not about conversion but something else. Something else completely.
Ken McGoogan, pal of John Geiger is reading from his Race to the Polar Sea. What a terrific tale he tells of a dashing romantic Victorian hero who travels to our far north on a rescue mission. Breaking a few hearts along the way, disaster awaits that only adds to his enduring mystique.
Andrew Pyper wraps up the evening with his novel The Killing Circle. His sexy young character, a man in peril of losing himself in grief, struggles to stay connected. It becomes complicated when he joins a writer's circle and the bodies start piling up. A fantastic, slightly scarey read.
Come in out of the cold and meet these three powerhouse authors all in one evening.....how can you resist? Get your tickets at Ryerson U bookstore or Commensal Resto then be there at 7:00pm for an amazing evening of adventure, risk and redemption. Or, just call 905 271 9917 and reserve your seats.
Oh: remember Ryerson Book Store is giving some pretty hefty discounts on our readers' books! Just show your ticket at the store or buy the night of the reading and get your copy personally signed. How great is that?
