Be a part of 100 years of aviation history in Lac du Bonnet!
Lac du Bonnet has witnessed the evolution of air transport: from the flying boats of the 1920s to the varied fleets of today, airplanes continue to operate out of the oldest air base on the Winnipeg River, and utilize flight paths that have been in use for over 100 years.
Yet, Lac du Bonnet’s role in Manitoba’s aviation history is often overlooked.
My latest short story “A Map to the Stars” will be published in the “Pirate Legends” anthology by Dragon Soul Press!
When an experimental Hansen Industries space shuttle is unexpectedly transported to an unknown section of the galaxy, the three-person crew must navigate an intergalactic alien race, and survive an encounter with pirates, to find their way home.
