Description: A Thousand Lives is part-memoir, part-comedy and all true-because truth is always stranger than fiction.
Brief description: Annabel Townsend completed her first degree in Anthropology, her second in Social Sciences, and her PhD in Human Geography. Her doctoral thesis focused on the concepts of quality in the specialty coffee industry, literally making her a Doctor of Coffee. In 2012, she and her family emigrated to Saskatchewan where she has owned several coffee shops and now her first bookshop-cafe. When not making coffee or selling books, she writes, cycles, and enjoys life on the flat Canadian Prairie.
