March 29, 2022:
OUC Book Club is pleased to announce that our guest author for 2022 is Brenda Chapman, a mystery writer who has ranked in the top 10 audiobooks borrowed from UK public libraries in 2021. She previously worked for the federal government’s Department of Justice in the communications field, working steadfastly on the Indigenous dossier, learning about residential schools, about murdered and missing Indigenous
women, and all the associated traumas.
Her idea for Kala Stonechild, the protagonist in her first instalment of the
adult mystery series, was inspired by a combination of files on which she worked.
In her interview with The Guardian magazine, she shared that she wanted to “’create a damaged but heroic and intuitive Indigenous protagonist’” and used her knowledge to create the beginnings of the Stonechild and Rouleau series in Cold Mourning. She will meet with us at 1 pm on March 29 by zoom. For more information or a zoom invite, contact Annemarie
