It’s always nice to have an opportunity to share the story
of “C” Force and tell people about our Canadian soldiers in Hong Kong and
Japan. I was able to take advantage of
such an opportunity on Saturday (June 11) when I was invited to participate in
a “local authors” event sponsored by Midland’s independent bookstore, Georgian
Bay Books. The store carries numerous
titles by writers from the area, including Beyond
the Call.
I had the chance to talk with many folks who were in town to
participate in the annual “Butter Tart Festival” and found (as usual) that
although everybody had heard about Pearl Harbor, very few knew anything about
Hong Kong. There was lots of interest in the stories of how
our Canadian troops were involved, the battle and the subsequent incarceration
by the Japanese. I even sold a few
books!
So I encourage other Hong Kong authors to talk to your local
bookstores. It’s another way we can keep
the story alive and help support the Mission of the HKVCA.
