News On Book 4 of the Milligan Creek Series

Now that The Water War has gone out into the world, I'll be spending the next several months marketing it, conducting writing workshops at various schools and conferences across Western Canada, and otherwise getting the word out. 

Meanwhile, I'm also hard at work on book 4, The Great Grain Elevator Incident. Think of it as my homage to a disappearing way of life. Here's a brief synopsis:

When Milligan Creek’s iconic grain elevators are slated for
demolition, to be replaced by a huge, ugly inland grain
terminal a couple of miles from town, Matt, Chad, Andrew,
and Dean concoct a wild scheme to save their grain
elevators—and their small prairie community—from being
wiped off the face of the planet.

I've already outlined the book and am now doing research in preparation for writing. I anticipate having it ready to release by late summer or early fall 2019. As part of my research, I came across this short video of grain elevator demolitions, which I thought fellow prairie people might enjoy.
