Book Launch James van Loon reads & signs his new book Blue Magic Woman Thursday Dec 6th at 19.00

This riveting psychological murder mystery is an echo from the edge, a story between two voices, a novel within a novel about a mysterious blue magic woman who casts a seductive spell on Michael, a passionate, but troubled young artist living in a disjointed world of eroticism and mysticism.

James van Loon, besides being a novelist, is a university psychology instructor, chartered psychologist, and international consultant.

Snacks and drinkies served.

Welcome!
