Local Author Meet and Greet. Dave Ferguson, Mary Evans, & Blair Sterling. May 6 ~ 6:30pm @ the Library. Dave Ferguson, Algoma Mills resident with his wife Pat, and former conservation office, has written four wildlife crime thrillers. Dave believes “write what you know” ; he drew from his professional experience in natural resource law enforcement and his family’s passion of Great Lakes boating and wove it into the fabric of his books. Aboriginal/Irish descent, born in a farm house on Manitoulin Island in the 30's, educator for 38 years, and then enjoyed writing three novels of true short stories, Blind River resident Blair Sterling values creativity, fitness, Canada - our free country and being proud grandfather of 55 over three generations . Mary Evans is the author of two novels and is currently at work on her third. She writes contemporary women’s fiction exploring motherhood, sisterhood, relationships and the extraordinary lives of ordinary women. Mary lives in Blind River, and when she isn't writing, she's riding her horse, making art or enjoying the wild beauty of Northern Ontario.
