CAA MEMBER EVENT – Book Signing and Meet & Greet with John Apple

Meet author John Appleby and purchase a signed copy of his new book Night Runners of the Winter Seas, the story of two Canadian naval officers who return to Vancouver Island in 1919 and who put their skills to work as rum runners.

Dugald McPherson, a skilled seafarer, and Peter Arundel, a cynical opportunist from a wealthy family, are two Canadian naval officers who return from the Great War looking for something to do. Prohibition in the United States gives a place for Peter’s banking family to use money that fell into their hands from the fall of European empires. Dugald’s skills in handling small fighting boats and the people who work in that semi-legal trade get the business started, but there is no end to the obstacles in their way.
