Our guest speaker for the evening is Sean Russell. our resident Comox Valley internationally-known author, published by Random House and Astra Publishing. 

Come on out with your questions and find out more about this down to earth writer who decided at 10 years of age that he was going to be an author. Find out the works that have been a major influence on his desire to write sci fi/fantasy. Learn how his passion for yachting and sailing translated into a series of historical fiction novels. Discover how Sean produced 16 novels over 32 years, quite an accomplishment, averaging a novel every two years.
