On this episode of Find Your Sparkle with Jen, my friend Dwight Parker (aka Capt Corkum with The Pirates of Halifax) and Cyndi Bussey, high school vocational teacher & author, talk about their chance meeting on Oak Island that sparked a friendship and a collaboration that has ,and continues to, benefit Children's Hospitals in North America, including the IWK Children's Hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada.  

In 2018, after a tour of Oak Island with her friend Ray Johnson, Cyndi & him decided to write a children's book about her dog Annie having an adventure on Oak Island.  This inaugural first book Annie Goes to Oak Island raised approximately $3000 CAD for the IWK Children's Hospital.  This complimented Cyndi's love of dogs and sparked an interest for future books.

In 2020, Cyndi collaborated with Dwight (Captain Corkum) on Annie and the Pirates of Halifax which was released in November of 2021.  This was followed by several successful book signings at Coles and Chapters where the book is sold. 

Stay tuned for more book signings coming up in your neighbourhood!
