Member Review
We need writers to record, interpret, and forecast our lives. We need writers to provoke us, entertain us, instruct us. And, while we need writers to develop distinctive individual voices, they often need to speak out as a group in any number of forums. The Writers’ Union of Canada has given writers that collective forum.

Red Girl Rat Boy, published in September 2013 by Biblioasis, has received fine reviews in both onloine and print media. (See my website, www.cynthiaflood.com) Quill & Quire's reviews editor, Steven Beattie, included it in his list of five "Books of the Year."
Early in 2014 I'll be reading and talking at a series of venues in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island. See my website for details.
