Wednesday Havre book signing canceled

Author Craig Lancaster, who had been set to come to Havre for a book signing and reading of his latest work, “And It Will Be a Beautiful Life” Wednesday, told Havre Daily News Monday he has had to cancel the event.

Lancaster said in the email a pet’s illness requires hospitalization, forcing the cancellation. He said he hopes the owners of the Havre Book Exchange are open to rescheduling the event and he had been looking forward to coming to Havre.

“And It Will Be a Beautiful Life” is about a traveling pipeline inspector named Max Wendt who lives in Billings, but he’s almost never there. As the book opens, Max’s life is falling apart.

Some of Lancaster’s other books include “600 Hours of Edward,” a 2010 High Plains Book Award winner for Best First Book and a 2009 Montana Honor Book, “The Summer Son,” a 2010 Utah Book Award finalist, and “The Art of Departure,” a 2012 Independent Publisher Book Awards gold-medal winner and High Plains Book Award finalist.
