Rhubarb Review

Posted on March 12, 2013 by CAMERONDUECK

Rhubarb Magazine, which describes itself as an “outlet for the Mennonite voice”, did a review of my book The New Northwest Passage in its Winter 2012 edition. I think it’s one of the best reviews of the book written so far, but it’s fairly positive, so I guess as the author I would like it, wouldn’t I?

Frieda Esau Klippenstein, a Parks Canada historian and an expert in First Nations and fur trading history, writes that “There is a brilliant intensity in the descriptions of the changing scenery, of life on-board the ship, and especially of the people and communities at stops along the way.”

A new adventure

Posted on June 7, 2012 by CAMERONDUECK

If you missed the first book tour for The New Northwest Passage you still have a chance…I’m doing a second lap of Canada and the US in June. Here are the details:

Thursday, June 7: Seattle Yacht Club Luncheon
Friday, June 8: Vancouver, People’s Co-op Books signing, 7:00 – 9:00pm
Saturday June 9: Winnipeg, Chapters signing, 2:30 – 5:30pm

Stay tuned for dates in the New York/US east coast area. You can follow this project on Twitter @OPEsailing or “like” the Facebook page Open Passage Expedition to get updates.

The ebook version of The New Northwest Passage will be out soon, and Great Plains, Relish Design and I are working on an iPad version that will combine the book with video, audio, extra photos and climate change data, creating a very cool new way to explore the Northwest Passage. The iPad app will be out in time for Christmas, so tell Santa you want one.

The other good news is that the UK/Irish rights to the book have been bought by Sandstone Press in Scotland. So watch for The New Northwest Passage in UK book stores soon.

I’m setting off on a new adventure. Starting in June I will ride a motorcycle from my home village in Manitoba to the tip of South America to research a new book and film about Mennonite culture in Latin America.
