Fact Or Fiction?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

My novel Ile d'Or has just been released. It seems a book that might interest your readers even though it is fiction and they are reading The Northern Miner for factual information.

It might interest you to know that in the first chapter, one of the main characters reveals that the obituary in The Northern Miner that told of his death was mistaken.

The idea for this occurred because my own father's death was erroneously reported in the Miner many years ago. My father wrote to correct this and then you did also. I think my father thought it was quite funny.

When his actual death occurred, of course there was an obituary then.
