The pleasures and perils of being a first-time author and the bumpy road to getting published will be the topic of a panel discussion with authors Nadine Doolittle (author of "Iced Under"), C.B. Forrest ("The Weight of Stones") and Ottawa Citizen reporter Kate Jaimet ("Slam Dunk"). They have all recently published their first books, and will be sharing their stories and insights.

 

There will be snacks and refreshments, and a break for people to mingle and chat with the panellists.
