SUMMARY:BC Libraries Present Jessica Johns
DESCRIPTION:BC Libraries Present is a virtual author series that brings exciting conversations to library users in every corner of British Columbia. Public Library InterLINK has brought together many libraries, both big and small, to host these events and provide access to award-winning authors to library users across the province.\nJessica Johns’s debut novel, Bad Cree, is a gripping story about intergenerational trauma that follows a Cree millennial who has haunting dreams about her dead sister and Kokum. It’s a horror novel that grapples with the effects of grief, and is an ode to female relations and the strength found in kinship.\nFor the third event of this lineup, join Jessica Johns in conversation with award-winning writer Selina Boan. Registration is required – click here for more information and to sign up for this virtual conversation.\n \nAbout the author:\nJessica Johns (she/her) is a queer nehiyaw aunty with English-Irish ancestry and a member of Sucker Creek First Nation.
