Veuillez nous joindre le 3e jeudi de chaque mois pour des rencontres conviviales afin de discuter des livres de langue française.

The Cumberland branch of the Ottawa Public Library is pleased to present Ottawa mystery writers Brenda Chapman and Don Butler as they each read a short excerpt from their books, and answer your questions about their stories, their writing process, and their own recommended reads. 

Brenda Chapman has authored more than 20 novels and novellas, including the lauded Stonechild and Rouleau police procedural series, set mainly in Kingston, Ontario. Her latest novel, When Last Seen, is the second in her new Ottawa-based mystery series Hunter and Tate.   

Don Butler enjoyed a long career as a reporter and senior editor at the Ottawa Citizen, but has always aspired to write fiction. His first novel, A Life of Bliss, set in Ottawa and Greece, was released in 2021. He has just finished a sequel, Norman’s Conquest, slated for release in the spring 2024.

Following the discussion, the authors will have a selection of their books available for purchase for $20 each. Cash only.
