Local Author Bruce Gravel has just published his second book and first novel. Called Inn-Sanity: Diary of an Innkeeper Virgin, the book incorporates hundreds of true-life incidents that Bruce has collected from innkeepers across Ontario in a diary that depicts a young couple in their first year of running a small motel. Bruce has managed the Ontario Accommodation Association since 1985, and the novel was a way of recording many of the true stories he's heard from innkeepers over the years. Bruce will be signing copies of his new book at Chapters this Saturday (October 3) from 1 - 3 p.m. The book is available at Chapters, Titles, Smithbooks and Happenstance in Lakefield.
