Author Carol Lee will be through the area next week to promote her ninth work Out of Winter.
Lee is an author and journalist who has worked in British newspapers, radio and TV. She also taught in London schools, as a visiting lecturer in London’s City University Department of Journalism, and as a Fellow at Westminster University.
Born in South Wales UK, she spent much of her childhood in Africa before returning to the UK to begin a career in journalism.
Her first book, The Ostrich Position (1986), is an account of her experience teaching sex education in London schools. It was widely filmed and defended by both teachers and students in numerous debates. It was followed by eight other narrative non-fiction books, and one play.
Out of Winter, released in February, is a personal account of a universal subject: the unfolding nature of relationships with parents as they age and approach the ends of their lives. She depicts the sense of loss and longing at the heart of her family, and the journey to renewal.
Lee will be presenting at the Delia Library on Tuesday, June 10 at 7 p.m., and then at the Drumheller Public Library Wednesday, June 11 at 7 p.m.
