Saskatoon author, Angie Counios to present at Write Out Loud

Angie Counios is a Saskatoon writer, high school teacher, dedicated blogger, and co-author of the Shepherd and Wolfe mystery series for Young Adults. She opted to add spice to her life by making a list of 101 things to do in 365 days. My List, My Rules: The Year a Checklist Changed My Life (YNWP, 2023) is a memoir which can also be categorized as a self-help book that inspires hope and positivity.

Ms. Counios learned how to face fear, stand up for herself, seize opportunity, and stay fully present in each moment. Some items on her list were to “eat ice cream every meal of her birthday,” “hold a tarantula,” “walk on a suspension bridge,” and “make a pound cake that weighed exactly one pound.”

She found pleasure in checking off items and taking time to enjoy life. Through this sense of accomplishment and her visits to a therapist, she learned to be accepting of herself. She says she hates the F word “feelings,” but the reader is warned she uses the more profane F word liberally throughout her writing.

Angie’s book is for those who need or love to laugh, wish to get motivated, want to be entertained, and choose to ponder life.

Write Out Loud commences March 19 at the Swift Current Lyric Theatre. Admission is $8. Doors open at 6:30. Local musicians Roni Hasret Ocak will entertain at 7:00, and Angie Counios’s presentation will follow.
