John Moore

John Moore

CREATIVE, colourful and entertaining are words that easily describe both author John Moore and his newest book "Three of a Kind". This semi-autobiographical account can best be described as a kind of novella trilogy which traces the life of "Jack" who gives us glimpses into his life during his young teens, late teens, and then as an adult. Lots of North Shore references, and home grown situations, make this book a must read. On January 24, John held a book launch at Kilby's restaurant in Edgemont Village. It was a veritable who's-who of the local literary scene honouring the very personable Mr. Moore and congratulating him on his latest success.

	Author John Moore, seen here with Mary Trentadue of 32 Books, is both talented and entertaining. He delighted the crowd by reading a chapter from his book.
	NS News managers Mark Fancher (left) and Tery Peters are a large part of the creative force behind the paper.
	Authors in their own right, Liz Young and John Pass are also big John Moore fans.
	Members of the Vancouver Sun were also happy to drop by and wish John well. From left: Karenn Krangle, Nick Rebalski and Rebecca Wigod.
	Authors Madeline Sonik (from left) and Brian Payton joined publicist Trisha Telep in a toast to the occasion.
	Mary Moore, seen here with author Jim Christy, is undoubtedly a large part of her husband John's creative inspiration.
	A couple of local famous faces for sure. Trevor Carolans (left) schmoozed the night away alongside poet/author Peter Trower.
	A big thanks to restaurant owner Mike Kilby who was happy to play host and serve up lots of delicious nibbles. Check out these profiteroles.
