Hi Everyone,
Alex in ’63 is my first novel, and I look forward to sharing it with readers who have “ever been thirteen”. It is very much a Calgary-based story, so some readers will recognize familiar landscapes and events.
If you are interested in ordering a copy, please send an email or phone me. Free delivery in Calgary.
Sincerely,
Keith

About Alex in ’63:
If you’ve ever been thirteen…
Alex Wheeler reminds us what it’s like to be a teenager on a collision course with self-doubt, intimidation, love, and mystery. At the start of grade 9—in his hometown Calgary, Alberta—Alex is trying to figure out how to deal with a football-star brother, a strict school principal, and a vindictive high school girl. There’s another girl, too, recently arrived from England, who emboldens him by sharing glimpses of a pop culture revolution evolving back home. Meanwhile, local incidents and international events impact Alex and his family in deeply personal ways.
Alex in ‘63 is a bumpy-road tribute to home and school and neighbourhood.
