Author Gail Prior recently entertained members of the Oliver community arts council with a short reading from her collection of short stories and poems, The Cap .

Gail’s early retirement from a career in social work opened the doors to hone her writing gift.

She moved from the coast to the sunny Okanagan and began to write seriously. She was encouraged by joining the Penticton Writers and Publishers group, as well the River Writers in Arizona. Previously she produced a weekly vegetarian cooking column for a small newspaper in the Gulf Islands. Her stories and poems have appeared in a variety of publications. The Cap is self-published.

Gail divides her living and writing time between Oliver, Little Bear Lake, Saskatchewan and Bullhead City, Arizona.

Copies of The Cap can be ordered directly via her email gaileyprior @ gmail.com
