The Blue Flames That Keep Us Warm.

Ann Turner is Financial and Budget Manager at the University of British
Columbia Library.

Investigative reporter Mike McCardell’s delightful human interest stories have warmed the hearts of his viewers on BCTV (and later on Global BC) for more than 30 years. He has a knack for finding something special and unexpected in the lives of the ordinary people around him, and describing them with kindness, gentle humour, and a little twist of insightful wisdom. The 73 short stories in this collection are the best of the best, his own favourites from the nearly 10,000 tales he has created over the years. They are assembled here both for our enjoyment and to contribute to the well-being of others. Sales of this book help support Variety—the Children’s Charity.
