Welcome to Time Family of Wines, our newest sponsor and supporter of the Wine Country Writers’ Festival. Check out their website and support their venture in Penticton, British Columbia.





Faye Arcand is a writer, blogger, and all round writing enthusiast. Whether she’s deep in the writing of a novel or presenting at a conference, the love of the written word shines through.
She chose to be involved with Wine Country Writers’ Festival because there are so many writers who don’t get the opportunity to participate in community writing experiences.
Arcand welcomes followers and readers to her two blogs: My Twisted Writer Brain and Auntie Says. She will consider guest bloggers if the aesthetic matches. Come says HI! www.fayearcand.com



Prairie Soul Press stands for truth, community and story. We look to find and promote authors from the Canadian Prairies and elsewhere whose work speaks truth through a captivating story and who are plugged into their local writing communities.
We publish multiple genres, but focus on poetry, works dealing with mythology, and the craft of writing.
