From Halifax, Nova Scotia, October 23 2015, 24 writers get on the train Ocean.
Their mission: to write a novel in 24 hours Champlain which will be the central character.
Some 24 hours and 24 chapters later, the survivors of this railway adventure and unusual literary will be greeted with fanfare their off the train in Toronto, Ontario and proudly present the finished novel to the public. It will then be published by Éditions Prise de parole and available in bookstores as of 16 November 2015 entitled In the Footsteps of Champlain: an extraordinary destiny into 24 tables.
