During the summer, CBC’s Information Morning, which is hosted separately in Fredericton, Moncton and Saint John, collapses into one provincial show. One of the segments, Books and Backroads, heads out to smaller New Brunswick communities to talk to readers about books that have either been written by NB authors, or take place in New Brunswick.

This summer I was invited to write stories to accompany the segments that aired throughout the summer. Now that the show is returning to business as usually, I thought I’d give these New Brunswick books/authors and the segment itself one more look.

I’ve linked to the stories I wrote, plus the segment as it aired on the radio. I have also provided other pertinent info about the books, in case you want to check them out yourself.

Enjoy!

The first story, which is an overview of the segment, was not written by me. Here it is.
