GRAPHIC NOVEL AUTHOR TALK! ???? The story of a Kootenay summer: forests are burning, old-growth activists are blockading, and a rookie wildfire fighter wrestles with her Doukhobor past while working to protect the future. We Were Found in the Fires, an in-progress book by writer-artist Nathan Wilkinson with writer Anne DeGrace, is coming to toi the Nelson Public Library with a talk and community discussion on the story and the process. If you have an interest in graphic novels, our B.C. wildfire situation, or the challenging process of writing culturally relevant fiction, join us. Appropriate for adults and older teens.

The creators acknowledge the support of the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance, Kootenay Library Federation and Canada Council for the Arts.
