I sent an email to SummerWild .ca to thank Ken Budd for a return to the good old days of 50”s and 60’s in his book that he wrote of summers at the cottage. …. . by chance, I spoke to him quite briefly, when He was in Courtenay on the 22nd day of October, the day that Ottawa was experiencing such grief over the event that happened at the veteran’s memorial site …….
I have not read such a delightful novel . In most cases, I experienced the same events as he had partaken in. and I thank him wholeheartedly for bringing his novels to my attention. A very talented gentleman indeed. !!!! …… It brought tears of joy( and in some cases , sadness ) that I have not experienced in a long time ….. . I only bought the SummerWild book, but am looking forward to purchasing the Spring, fall and Winter novels . I can hardly wait to read them. …. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention, more seniors as well as students, would appreciate his talented and easy reading. I am also interested in nature, as it is our greatest teacher beyond doubt. and wish to purchase it also. Thanks you so much, and very best wishes for your continued success. Faye Evans.
