Glenn Hopfner - January 25


Welcome to 2007! After a small break during the holidays, we are now back with a new year of what I hope will be a year filled with fascinating authors signing wonderful books.

The first signing of the year goes to Glenn Hopfner. A resident of Ste. Rose, Glenn is pleased to be coming to Brandon to read, discuss and sign copies of What Happened, his second book.

Glenn Hopfner is a natural born story-teller a delight to listen to at any time. For those of you who don't have the chance to meet him in person, reading the story of his life is the next best thing. It's pretty much like sitting around the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee while an interesting person speaks entertainingly about interesting things. Glenn is an ordinary man who is living an extraordinary life. He's had plenty of close encounters with death, and more adventures than most people will ever know. He loves work and play, music and nature and animals and machines and people or all sorts. Most of all, he loves his family. Glenn is a spirited individual whose inspiring story will leave you asking for an encore.

His first book, Tales from the Tundra, is a compilation of stories Glenn has gathered while working for the Tundra Buggy company as a
guide, interpreter, trouble-shooter, mechanic, and entertainer in Churchill during bear season.

On Thursday, January 25 at 7 PM, come on down to Pennywise Books at 1031 Rosser Ave to listen to Glenn's stories and meet this area author in person.
