I make the news in Meadow Lake!
The Meadow Lake Progress has posted an article about my visit to that community the weekend before last for a library reading. It’s a good article, although I wouldn’t take the quotation marks around what I supposedly said very literally…
You can read the whole thing here, but here’s how it starts:
Regina-based science fiction author Edward Willett isn’t your average writer. Actually he’s not average at all.
The literary dynamo and actor stopped by the Meadow Lake Library during the evening of November 15. He did a reading from one of his books, but also interacted with the crowd and answered questions.
Willett has been a freelance writer for several years, and has been living in Saskatchewan for nearly three decades.
He said he got into science fiction after following in his older brothers’ footsteps.
“I always liked to read, and they kind of got me into reading science fiction,” he said to the crowd of people assembled in chairs at the library.
“They say ‘write what you know,’ and I really had a keen interest, so that’s where I set my sites. I wrote my first science fiction story as a teen.”
