Description
Four generations of women. Four generations of stories. Years of secrets. Rule of Seconds interlaces the extraordinary lives of four genera-tions of one family in the Northern Ontario city of Sault Ste. Marie. The cyclical nature of themes and tragedy entwines the women and their histories. At age twenty-six, the narrator-protagonist Sheila recalls her past and that of her family in hopes of unearthing the cause of her painful epilepsy. Piecing together the depth of her troubled family history, Sheila discovers far more than she can cope with. Spanning from the 1920s to present day, the narrative depicts the unconventional life of Sheila's great grandmother who owned a three-storey boarding house and ran an illegal speakeasy in the basement. Rule of Seconds is a story about four generations of hard women, defying the conventions of their era, time and again.

Reviews
"Shawna Partridge's Rule of Seconds is a powerful and fast-paced work that beautifully renders the tensions and tenderness or a storytelling family. Personal narratives, diary entries, letters, and historical facts are skillfully intertwined in this compelling examination of generational understanding and misunderstanding. Secrets provide the catalyst for the narrator's probing desire to uncover truths, reconcile differences, and ultimately determine who, in light of her family, she is." -Madeline Sonik, author, Afflictions & Departures: Essays "Shawna Diane Partridge delivers a solid first book - part love story, part mystery, part self-help.Rule of Seconds exemplifies what can happen when the tradition of matriarchal leaders living in patriarchal times get a voice to speak out. Where 'secrets' aren't so much secrets as they are purposefully-kept-quiet life choices. Where pride and face-saving reigned over compassion and hope. Where the women let their space and time define them on the outside leaving heaving holes within that could never been filled." -Vanessa Shields, author, I Am That Woman and Look At Home

Description
The Dependent is a true story written by a military wife married to a paratrooper who served in the Canadian Armed Forces for fourteen years before his army career came to a crashing halt--a freak accident near Armed Forces Base Trenton left him paraplegic and their future in shards. Danielle, a fiercely independent university student, meets Steve, an ambitious infantry private. Much of the first years of their marriage are spent apart, as Steve's infantry unit is sent overseas for duty in Croatia, Bosnia, and Afghanistan. With each tour of duty, the emotional distance between them intensifies. After four tours, Steve finally comes home to stay, but little changes: their marriage remains a difficult ménage-à -trois made up of a man, a woman, and the military. In this deeply candid depiction of their marriage before and after a life-altering trauma, each chapter unveils an intimate portrait of marriage--one in which Danielle and Steve must navigate shifting roles and learn to co-exist in a space where the collateral damage of military service is absolute. The Dependent is a brave and modern love story revealing immeasurable loss and grief and the journey to lasting hope and forgiveness.

"With candour and honesty, Danielle Daniel shares her painful journey as she discovers that marrying a solider means she also married the military, and that she is outranked at every turn. Her struggle to "soldier on", made only harder by the tragedy of her husband's accident, is heartbreaking, yet her determination--and ultimately, her transformation--is inspiring." -Shannon Moroney, author, Through the Glass (National Bestseller) "The playing with time and story, the giving and withholding of detail, is stunningly accomplished, which is only underlined by the book's incredible, miraculous and beautiful ending, which is also its beginning, a fantastic, complicated and beautiful love story..." - Kerry Clare, blogger, book reviewer, author, Mitzi Bytes

Description
Did you ever wonder where life would lead you if you truly followed your passion?
Joe LaFlamme not only wondered about it, he lived his passion to the limit. When, in 1920, he settled in Gogama, in remote Northern Ontario, he discovered a passion for the wild animals of the boreal forest. Taming wolves soon turned him into a legend, his fame spreading throughout Canada and the United States. Yet he himself remained untamed and unstoppable.Imagine a strapping Canadian trapper raising timber wolves to draw the sleigh; mushing his wolf team in the heart of big cities such as Montreal, Toronto, Boston, and even on Broadway in New York; travelling by plane with unleashed wolves; bringing his moose to ABC radio for an interview, to posh banquet rooms for a salad, and even to the local pub for a beer.Not only did Wolf Man Joe LaFlamme's passion lead him to tempt fate by rubbing shoulders with wild beasts, he also defied the law by bootlegging moonshine to make ends meet and spice up his life.LaFlamme's biographer, Suzanne F. Charron, has done extensive research to bring his story back to life and establish the Wolf Man in the canon of Canadian legends.

Description
Whazzat? explores how poetry invites us to look at things differently, with a sense of surprise, a whazzat. It looks at paradoxes we meet in life, and ways of resolving them through shifts of perspective. Poems cluster in four sections around paradoxes in different parts of our lives. Can we square the sheer unpredictability of events - especially with climate change - with our recurring need for certainty? Can we revitalize downtown cores without losing a sense of our past? In our personal lives, can we see unavoidable paradoxes as "gifts" that heighten our sense of wonder, rather than threatening to divide us in two? Is there a "now" we can live in, or do we inevitably live in our pasts and imagined futures? A number of poems have been previously published in literary magazines and anthologies across Canada, the U.K. and the U.S.A. This collection draws them together.

"Roger Nash is a natural philosopher (naturally) of the natural beauty, wit, and charm of nature. In poems that are both insightful and delightful, playful yet acutely aware of the world in which his poet's eye deciphers the intricacy of life, Nash gives us a collection that is not only worth reading but worthy of the delight he engenders with every poem and every line." - Bruce Meyer, poet laureate, Barrie, Ont.

"In River of Fire, Wilson captures the power, humour, adventure and intrigue.... the very essence of adventure on a northern river. Now, more than ever, society needs to re-awaken to the life-changing and profound experience that is time and travel in the natural and still wild world. In a manner of storytelling worthy of Aldo Leopold and John Muir, Hap Wilson's River of Fire will indeed light your soul on fire and into a yearning for still possible wilderness adventure." - Les Stroud aka Survivorman

In this fable-like tale, author Rod Carley proves that he has a deft touch with story and character. A Matter Of Will takes the reader on a journey that is pure Canadian and thoroughly enjoyable."Norm Foster, Canada's most produced playwright
"Rod Carley's terrific ear for dialogue brings the worlds of theatre and telemarketing to life in a breazy picaresque about the spiritual redemption of a dissolute rake."

"The phantasmagoric scenes of Will Croswel's forty Dark Nights of the Soul in Witless Bay, Newfoundland are grotesque comedy such as has been rarely seen in Canadian writing and how refreshing it is!"
