Covid Capers: creating pandemic perils in a whimsical world
The Covid Capers books were done during the early days of the 2020 Covid pandemic, by a seniors' group of writers, known as SWAG.
Taking weekly turns, by email, the first Flip book of two separate stories, beginning with the same introduction, was created. Ten writers and two illustrators produced these entertaining works.
Taking turns, by email, a second Covid Capers, again starting from the same beginning, with three writers for each of three stories, created three quite unique tales.
The books were printed by City Press, here in Winnipeg, MB, Canada. All of the contributors isolated here for the duration. Click covers to read.
The Measured Words trilogy were published 2010, 2011, and 2013. All three were Winnipeg Best Sellers after their launch at McNally Robinson Booksellers - Grant Park Store, Winnipeg, MB, Canada.
