<p>Mike Sadava has immersed himself in writing fiction over the past decade following a career in print journalism. His first book, <strong>The Project, </strong>a collection of interrelated short stories centered on characters raised in a postwar apartment complex in Ottawa, was a finalist in the 2018 Whistler Independent Book Awards, Canada's only juried award for independently-published books. After many years of quoting people accurately as a reporter, Mike loves the ability of the fiction writer to put words into people's mouths. He is also a part-time musician who has contributed to more than a dozen albums and performed at many festivals and clubs. A native of Ottawa, he currently lives in Victoria with his wife Anne Cameron Sadava.</p>
