Local authors Heidi von Palleske and Heather Babcock are a couple of redheads spreading the word on Zoom.

The authors invite book lovers to join them on April 21 at 7 p.m. on Zoom as they read from their novels.

“It should be a fun, lively event,” promises Babcock, who lives in the Alderwood area. “We will read from our novels and discuss writing, ginger protagonists and women’s sexuality in literature.”

Heidi is the author of two novels: They Don’t Run Red Trains Anymore and Two White Queens and the One- Eyed Jack, which is a 2021 Indies book award finalist.

Filthy Sugar, a novel by Heather Babcock.

“Her writing is very sensual and poetic, with vivid and unforgettable characters,” says Babcock.

She will be reading from her debut novel Filthy Sugar, a historical fiction set in a 1930’s burlesque house.

They will also be reading together from each other’s books.

To join them, please register at: A Couple Of Redheads Walk into a Zoom Free Tickets (Online Event)

They would like to thank the Canada Council for funding through the Writers’ Union of Canada.
