Keith Baldrey, Legislative Bureau Chief for Global TV at the BC Parliament Buildings regularly displays the books of local BC authors during his broadcasts.

Back in October, a few of us attended the legislative proceeding in the public gallery. During recess, I bumped into Mr. Baldrey and we had a nice chat.

“So, you’re an author. What do you write?”

With that opening, I proceeded to tell him about No Ordinary Seaman, now a Best Seller, and my two Bosun novels. I had his attention. Of course, he’d have to have a masterful attention span, sitting for hours of debate in the House, separating fiction from fact, gleaning newsworthy items to report.

The Bureau Chief said, “Drop your books off and I’ll put them on my shelf.”

He’s a man of his word. Within days one book was on the shelf.

Thanks, Keith.
