Eowyn Ivey
What a wonderful occasion we enjoyed on 18 February 2012. Eowyn was interviewed by Elizabeth Roberts and we learned a little about her life in Alaska and the process of writing the book. It was interesting to know that Eowyn's Mother is a poet and they had an agreement that each week Mother would write a poem and Eowyn would write a chapter of her book and they would each exchange positive comments with each other. She also told us the very positive influences of her Agent.
After the talk, Eowyn signed books for the many who had come to enjoy the talk enjoyed a glass of wine.
We wish Eowyn well for the future and look forward to her next book!
