I've just sent out my latest newsletter, and I'm happy to share that two of my books - Train Beyond the Mountains and Route 66 Still Kicks - have brand new editions available. https://t.co/bacHf5tJLp

This was a fun one! Sharing an interview I did with fellow BC author, @billarnott_aps.

It might be the most important interview I’ve ever participated in given the pivotal, uncertain times for Canada/USA relations. My conversation with @RickSteves and fellow Canadian author Wade Davis was broadcast on 600+ @PBS stations this past weekend.

Looking forward to a couple of book signings over the next couple of weekends. First at Coles in Vernon this Sun, June 8 from 11am to 3pm.
I'll then be at Bookingham Palace in Salmon Arm the following weekend, on Sat, June 14, just in time for Father's Day!

This was a fun interview with Feliks Banel! Happy to be able to share it here.

Recently, my brother (and co-author) Brian and I had a great time talking about Slumach's Gold with Global BC's @GlobalDurant. https://t.co/lMTjraD4DO

Nature lovers and outdoorsy folks can be hard to buy for (gear can be expensive and is so specific). Fortunately, we’ve got a book for that!

Thank you, @InkroadsRick , for delivering such an inspiring keynote at the 2024 Unama’ki - Cape Breton Tourism Summit! Your insights left a lasting impact! #TourismLeadership

Looking forward to another Slumach's Gold book signing at Bookingham Palace in Salmon Arm on Saturday, 11 am - 3 pm.

[Rick Antonson @InkroadsRick]

I was offered a wonderful opportunity to deliver the keynote address about "Cathedral Thinking" at last week's Cape Breton Tourism Summit hosted by @CBITTN_ & @DestCapeBreton. One of the world’s “best islands” and with an incredible future.

In case you missed it, you can watch Brian and me talking to CBC's @michelle_eliot about the legend of Slumach here: https://t.co/wO9GVMArXz

A big thank you to @hhpublishing for producing this book trailer for Slumach's Gold, the new version of which was released earlier this week. Watch the video to see Brian, Mary & me explain why we've spent the past 50 years telling this fascinating story.

Tune in to @CBCVancouver's BC Today tomorrow (Oct 29) at 12:30 pm when my brother (& one of my co-authors) Brian will be in studio and I'll join via Zoom to have a "publication day chat" with host Michelle Eliot about the new edition of Slumach's Gold. https://t.co/o0UaCZJ55u

[Rick Antonson @InkroadsRick]

A big thank you to the ~70 friends and neighbours who attended my "PREDtalk" at @PredatorRidge last night! In addition to talking about the new edition of Slumach's Gold, I also had the chance to talk about my travels over the years, and how they've inspired my writing.

[Rick Antonson @InkroadsRick]

A big thank you to Peter Marsan at Bookingham Palace in Salmon Arm for hosting us for a book signing for the brand-new edition of Slumach's Gold, officially out on October 29! We had such a great time that we'll be back again on December 7. @HHpublishing

Great to see some advance coverage of the new edition of Slumach's Gold on @bcbooklook.
