The first Read-a-Thon ,on Nov 25th, was held at the Tri-County Literacy location. The cover of the book is red following through the on the theme of green, blue and yellow of it predecessors .The centre of it has to do with a house-moving team and there is a “quite striking” shadowing effect. There is also a spoiler alert at the front of the book stating not to read it unless you have read the previous three books.

Mr Jim Brownell MPOP wrote the intro. In this final book Farran MacKenzie finds herself, as Maggie Wheeler describes, basically running thrugh a mine field. The plot is historically based and takes the reader back to the War of 1812 when a shipment of gold disappears.The climax in this last book has been in Maggie’s head for the last five years.

When Maggie started writing the novel, doors opened and she realized there was a lot to say. In this last book she promised the readers she would tie up many loose ends. The process for writing this book was quite intense. The first three books were: “A Violent End”, the second “The Brother of Sleep” and the third “‘All Mortall Things”.

Maggie’ finished her Bachelor of Education in June 2009 and is working towards completing her M.A. in English Literature, at Carleton University. Her next move is going into a teaching career.

When this is completed, there will be more time for her children and family and Maggie is looking forward to sit every day to write. She already knows what she wants to write. It is has already been agreed by General Store Publisher. This book will probably be a mystery because that is what he loves writing about.
