John Moore has a way with words. The Squamish writer is the author of three novels: The Blue Parrot, Three of a Kind and The Flea Market, and he'll soon share his work through public readings in Whistler.
The Whistler writers' group known as The Vicious Circle, in conjunction with Celebration 2010-Whistler Arts Showcase, will be hosting Literary Leaning 2004, a literary gala on Feb. 22 and 23.
Moore has been a regular book reviewer for The Vancouver Sun for 15 years, as well as an erratic freelance contributor of feature articles on cultural issues.He has written for the Ottawa Citizen, the Kingston Whig-Standard, the Globe and Mail and Quill and Quire.
He has lived in Squamish for 10 years, and is currently writing a novel set in Whistler, which he hopes will make it possible for him to afford to live there.
The gala will be held at Uli's Flipside, starting at 8 p.m. on both Sunday and Monday nights. Local authors will share the stage with a number of professional writers from Vancouver.
Whistler participants include Stella Harvey (founder of The Vicious Circle), as well as members Stephen Vogler, Brandi Higgins, Lara Bozabalian, Lisa Richardson, Jennifer Cowan, Rebecca Wood Barrett and Sara Leach.
