The Margo Chronicles Too!

In The Margo Chronicles Too! CJ intertwines her sense of humour with her sense of neighbourhood in a collection of stories that start out with very ordinary situations and put Margo in unexpected predicaments. A year in to retirement living in Wannatoka Springs, Margo and Michael and their neighbours, Tina and Joel, have settled somewhat comfortably in a tiny community in the hinterland of British Columbia. But Margo feels that something is missing. She doesn't yet know where she fits in this community - which is home to a diverse cross-cut of characters and cultures, whose only commonality with Margo and Michael may be that they, too, have chosen to live there. In her quest to find her niche in the neighbourhood, Margo tries on various hats for size, from starting an entrepreneurial venture selling cinnamon buns (that starts a turf war), to engaging a neighbourhood watch to find a lost parrot, and in organizing a community beautification project with the goal of winning an iconic Kootenay village contest - only to discover that her neighbours have minds of their own about what's iconic. Or is it ironic? Come along and join the adventures, or some would say, misadventures!
