A new adventure

If you missed the first book tour for The New Northwest Passage you still have a chance…I’m doing a second lap of Canada and the US in June. Here are the details:

Thursday, June 7: Seattle Yacht Club Luncheon
Friday, June 8: Vancouver, People’s Co-op Books signing, 7:00 – 9:00pm
Saturday June 9: Winnipeg, Chapters signing, 2:30 – 5:30pm
Sunday, June 10: Winnipeg, McNally Robinson signing, 2:00pm – 4:00pm.

Thursday, June 14th: Gimli, Tergesen’s, presentation/signing 7:30 – 9:30pm.

Stay tuned for dates in the New York/US east coast area. You can follow this project on Twitter @OPEsailing or “like” the Facebook page Open Passage Expedition to get updates.

The ebook version of The New Northwest Passage will be out soon, and Great Plains, Relish Design and I are working on an iPad version that will combine the book with video, audio, extra photos and climate change data, creating a very cool new way to explore the Northwest Passage. The iPad app will be out in time for Christmas, so tell Santa you want one.

The other good news is that the UK/Irish rights to the book have been bought by Sandstone Press in Scotland. So watch for The New Northwest Passage in UK book stores soon.

I’m setting off on a new adventure. Starting in June I will ride a motorcycle from my home village in Manitoba to the tip of South America to research a new book and film about Mennonite culture in Latin America.

In the summer of 2009 Cameron Dueck and the rest of the crew of the Silent Sound completed a journey made by fewer people than have climbed Mt. Everest; they sailed through the infamous Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic. These waters are normally locked in ice, but due to climate change it is now possible to sail here for a few short weeks each summer.

Each person they met along the way added their story to this colourful tale of life in the Arctic; a unique place where the climate change experience is affected by the critical and ongoing debates over sovereignty, resources and cultural assimilation.
