Vanessa Farnsworth
I'm a BC-based science journalist, novelist, short story writer and public speaker. The non-fiction topics I explore are primarily in the areas of nature, agriculture and tick-borne illnesses in Canada.
What's New This Week
“When you write a whole lot of nonfiction, especially when you are a journalist, you don’t like to guess at things. So that said to me, write the story as fiction. The characters are telling the story from their perspective – if they lie, well, they lie. But readers can get a sense of what happened." Read The Sudbury Star interview.
Book Clubs
I'm happy to Skype or Zoom into your book club meeting to discuss The Haweaters or any of my previous books. Just let me know when.
Book Trailer
The trailer for The Haweaters has dropped and it features a melodeon playing the insanely popular 'The Merry Bells of England'.
