When you publish a book, you rarely get to know where it ends up. Every now and then a reader sends you a note or a snapshot. I like to imagine Who Else in the Dark Headed There (@biblioasis.bsky.social) rattling around Kat’s truck as she takes the cattle road from Kaleden into Keremeos.

A photograph of Kat in the woods, her green truck in the background, her hand holding a book and a coffee mug. The book she is holding is Garth Martens' book of poetry, Who Else in the Dark Headed There.
