Incite: Tales of Christmas

About this event

Adults. Come one, come all to this festive holiday edition of Incite to toast to a year of fabulous literary events. You’ll discover a delightful variety of offerings under the Christmas tree, as three authors of Christmas-themed books spanning different genres—romance, mystery, and even ghost stories—regale us with their yuletide tales. They are: Tanya Boteju with her rom-com Setting the Stage for Christmas, Iona Whishaw with her latest mystery A Season for Spies, and JJ Lee with twelve haunted tales in Shivers. Beloved local author and Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour-winner Bill Richardson joins as our charismatic host. Christmas sweaters, blankets, and mugs of cozy beverages are encouraged! This event is accessible two ways: by attending in-person at the Vancouver Public Library, or by tuning in to the online livestream. Please register here. Presented by the Vancouver Writers Fest and Vancouver Public Library, Incite is a free quarterly series offering fascinating conversations with celebrated authors and emerging talents. Incite is open to all, in-person at the VPL’s Central Library or online. Books will be for sale at the event, and most events will have a signing after the talk. Can’t make the date?
