I grew up right up the road from the site of Aleksander Estate Winery
(I attended the recently-closed Ruthven Public School),
and if I had known the area would eventually be home to a good winery,
maybe I never would have left!

Join me as I read some special selections from my books, and describes how 

my experiences coming of age in Ruthven, Kingsville
and Essex County influenced much of my work.

Needless to say, there will be WINE at this event, too!

Aleksander Estate will be offering ‘collector edition’ wines,
which will to be themed and sold alongside the books!
