Congrats go out to Burnaby-based writer Winona Kent.
The novelist recently released her fifth book, In Loving Memory. It’s the second part of her Memory Book series, featuring Charlie Duran and her companion Shaun Deeley. The story, which takes place in 1940 at the height of the Blitz, involves accidental time travel.
“In this mesmerizing romance, a woman out of time falls in love with a man for whom time is running out,” reads a write-up.
Kent is a graduate of UBC’s creative writing program and has a diploma from Vancouver Film School in screen and TV writing. She won a national contest with a short story in her 20s, eventually getting a freelance gig with Flare magazine. When she hit her 30s, novel writing had become a priority. She published her first book at the age of 34.
