 CBC Interview

Well here's something I haven't tried before so we'll see if it works. I had a nice interview with Sheryl MacKay on CBC's North by Northwest for my new book Tug. I'm proud of this book so I'm very happy for it to be getting some attention. https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-43/clip/15902371  My segment starts at 16:00 minutes. 

Hope you enjoy!

 Everybody loves tugboats so I'm very happy to see Tug! A Log Boom's Journey released this month. Thank you Groundwood Books and Rick Smith for your wealth of information. Rick was invaluable in getting the details right because he was a logger and a tugboat operator.  The story is about the journey a log boom takes, from start to finish - all under the watchful eye of a little boy who learns there are dangers, and adventure when you're towing tons of logs through open water. 

I was also asked to curate a list of books that all, in some way, relate to the beautiful Pacific Northwest coast. https://49thshelf.com/Lists/Members/2022-09/Scot-Ritchie-Pacific-West-Coast
