Snowdrift by Lisa McGonigle

While Lisa was not a Coffee Shop Author in last year's contest, she did attend the Fernie Writers' Conference in 2009, and her new book has just been published by Oolichan Books. Here's what Lisa has to say about how she managed to write the book and land a publishing contract:

She's already received a couple of great reviews/ articles in the press (Rossland and Fernie) and is scheduled to be interviewed by other media when she comes to Calgary on Feb. 10-11. Her launch in Rossland last night was a huge success, and she's launching the book in Fernie on Jan. 31.

Keep writing, and write well. It can be done. Lisa is a perfect example.
