Hi, Brian.

I am thrilled to announce the launch of Follow Polly's Lane, to be held at:

Lincoln Pelham Public Library, Fonthill branch
Monday, December 8th, 6:30 - 7:30 pm.

The royalties from this contemporary fiction novel will help the Fonthill branch become a more accessible facility. Registration is encouraged. Here is the link:

Follow Polly's Lane exposes the separate dramas of two female neighbours, with differing values, after a violent storm implodes their private lives, bringing them together and then tearing them apart. The story revolves around a private, dead-end lane which provides access to three grand but dilapidated manors near fictitious New Abino, a small hamlet of Point Abino, Ontario. While the lakefront homes are deserted, their adjacent bunkies, historically used by the hired help, house four intriguing tenants.

Yvonne

Formerly an Irish nun turned nurse, Sonnet O’Brien understands the needs of the heart, unlike her unsavoury neighbour, who returns to Canada from the United States as a deported convict. A mother and her neurodivergent son, with fifteen years between them, work to rebuild their lives after escaping the rigours and hardships of their Nova Scotia roots. 

Fed and loved by most, a stray dog appoints himself as the lane’s security detail and earns an important role. Unpredictable events bring out the best and worst in these tenants over two wintery months, and, as with my previous novels, emphasize the importance of trust and human connection.

Thanks for the opportunity to share this exciting news.

Kind regards, 

Yvonne Van Lankveld
