Pacific Palate Book Launch: Tuesday April 8th
Join award-winning, Victoria-based food and travel journalist, Don Genova, and Russell Books as we celebrate the launch of his latest book, Pacific Palate: Food Artisans of Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. Come celebrate the food producers of Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands that make our region a top destination to visit!
Curious about which of your favourite local artisans might be included? Come by and flip through a copy, and while you’re at it sample tasty treats from local vendors Deer and Dough Bakery and Cafe and Triestina Pasta.
The Lost Synapse: April 18th
Join Brenda St Louis at Russell Books for a unique book signing event where we won’t just celebrate The Lost Synapse—we’ll dive into the ideas that shaped it.
This novel is more than just a fast-paced YA sci-fi adventure—it’s a vision of a near future where AI is banned, there’s a global race to map the human brain, and the very nature of money is being reimagined. It weaves together themes of plant medicine, intergenerational trauma, and the creation of a reciprocal economy—challenging us to think about how we interact with wealth, technology, and each other.
Come anytime between 12:00 and 3:00 PM to grab a signed copy and chat with me about the process of writing this book, the inspiration behind it, and the deeper ideas it explores.
To keep the energy flowing, consider stopping by on the hour at 12, 1, or 2 PM so conversations unfold organically throughout the event.
If you’re fascinated by the intersection of money, consciousness, and the future of human connection, this is an event you won’t want to miss. Can’t wait to see you there!
