Meet and hear our local authors. They will talk about their books, writing process, and publishing experience.
- For over forty years, Rev Dr. Ed Hird has been serving as an Anglican priest in Greater Vancouver, BC, Canada. Ed is a past President of Alpha Canada, and served as the National Chair of Anglican Renewal Ministries of Canada. Since 1982, he has written over 600 articles for various newspapers. Ed is currently a columnist with his wife Janice in the Light Magazine. He has written six books, including three with his wife Janice: God’s Firestarters, Blue Sky, and For Better, For Worse. Ed’s book Battle for the Soul of Canada won a Word Guild award. He is the Director of the BC Christian Ashram retreat movement. Ed and Janice have led conferences and retreats on marriage and renewal in Canada, USA, Honduras, and Africa. Ed will be reading from his book, Blue Sky.
- Malcolm van Delst stands out as a lazy writer in a profession notorious for idlers and bums. This bio? Crowd-sourced. A former coder with a taste for get-rich-quick schemes and dramatics, she somehow produced Trouble Girl, Book Two of the Do the Wrong Thing series (October 2025). Malcolm will be reading from her book, Trouble Girl.
Authors will be selling books at the end of the event. If you’d like to purchase a book, please bring cash.
