Watson's Mill, Manotick, May 4th!
May the 4th be with you!!! Watson's Mill, source of research for A Turn of Light, is hosting an event for the book during their official Season Opening Festivities!!! An honour of EPIC proportions!
The mill will sell copies of the book, but come even if you have yours already. We'll be bringing "Marrowdell" the scale model -- its only Ottawa appearance -- and there's more!
View Roger Czerneda's stunning photos of the mill in his exhibit: "Reference Photography for A Turn of Light". There will be prints, framed or unframed, available to purchase.
It's a magnificent setting that will bring Marrowdell to life for you. Plan a day at the mill.
