Amonth after solving her fi rst murder (and almost getting killed in the process), Maggie Johnson and her soul brother Serge Popov are hoping for some peace and quiet to fi gure out…well,
everything. But the dead wait for no one. Especially a dead guy like Kent � omas. He was every parent's dream, the kind of good kid who excelled at school, and never caused trouble. And he was the kind of guy all the guys liked. Add in a hot factor that made him every girl’s fantasy, and he was the least likely person to be murdered. So who tossed him off a cliff ? Maggie’s determined to fi nd the killer but if she’s not careful, she’ll end up just like the soul she’s trying to save.
One of the best parts of being a writer for Natasha Deen is presenting at schools, conferences, and workshops. She’s also appeared in a variety of media outlets as a literacy advocate. When not working, she hangs out with her furry boys. She lives in Edmonton.

“a great hybrid of horror and mystery (think Buff y the Vampire Slayer meets Veronica Mars), with oodles of potential for humour and terror — and Deen gets the most out of both.” — Quill & Quire
“Any novel which has what appears to be a dead body in the trunk of the protagonist’s car on the very fi rst page is bound to be a page-turner … this mix of mystery and fantasy in Guardian is unusual, perhaps, but eff ective. Highly recommended.” — CM Magazine
“Guardian is at its heart a murder mystery, albeit a paranormal one, and a superb one at that” — CanLit For Little Canadians
“certainly a recommended read for those interesting in young adult/paranormal fi ctions.” — Asian American Literature Fans

"It’s intelligent, and poetic, but it’s also a page-turner.” – Maple Tree Literary Supplement

After three years in the Mexican War, color-blind Dannon Lereaux sets out across the mountains in search of “love, red, and a new class of salvation,” expecting to find all three in a girl called Madder Carmine.
Set in the year 1849, amidst a vividly reconceived Appalachia, young Dannon has returned from the war only to discover home was finer when remembered from afar. Disenchanted and confused, he puts all hope of deliverance in a girl he once met and, along with an escaped slave named Virgil, embarks on an epic journey to find her. But hard on their trail is Will Lawson, Virgil’s vengeful owner.
As Dannon is pushed deeper into the world of the hunted, his mind slips into a world of its own. Suddenly the mountains of his youth are transformed into the Nine Circles of Hell, and Virgil becomes his soul-guide through the underworld. With this notion firm in his mind, Dannon commends himself to a surreal journey as he seeks redemption in the heart of the Inferno.

Winnipeg is a place of extremes. Winters are fi erce and relentless. Summers are unbearably hot. It has been both the murder and auto theft capital of
Canada and the Slurpee capital of the world. It is a place that exerts an infl uence, that marks and changes its inhabitants. � is anthology features writers who have all lived in Winnipeg for a time and been inspired, horrifi ed, changed by that experience. � e stories here capture a tone of history, dread, violence, weirdness, and sometimes even whimsy; a tone that only Winnipeg exudes.
KEITH CADIEUX’s 2010 novella Gaze was listed for a Manitoba Book Award and the ReLit award. His short � ction has most recently appeared in Prairie Fire, Grain, ELQ, and the Exile Book of New Canadian Noir. He lives in Winnipeg.

The despair of refugees has haunted us long before the civil war in Syria. Lyse Champagne’s evocative new story collection attempts to put these collective and
individual tragedies into an historical context.
Two Armenian sisters write to each other in the year leading up to the deportations. A young Ukrainian mother embroiders her life story as famine threatens. A boy travels to Hong Kong by train while the Japanese march towards his hometown of Nanjing. A Jewish girl collects words and falls in love as she hides in a French mountain village in 1942. A Cambodian refugee recalls his childhood in his home country and his new life in Canada on a makeshift stage. A Rwandan family prepares to emigrate days before President Habyarimana’s plane is shot down.
� ese stories span the twentieth century and reach into the twenty-fi rst. We discover letters, maps, and the kindness of strangers. Word lists, a falling piano, and young love. Hiding places, history lessons, and conversations around the table. Music, a makeshift stage, and life breathed into memories.
LYSE CHAMPAGNE writes in French and in English. Her stories have appeared in Descant, The New Quarterly, The Antigonish Review, Room of One’s Own, Windsor Review and Wascana Review. Her � rst book, Double Vision, a memoir about growing up French in Ontario was published by Key Porter and her play, Chicane de famille, won the David Smith Playwriting Prize. She lives in Ottawa with her family.

Wish You Were Here:Hand-tinted Postcards from Winnipeg’s Halcyon DaysStan Milosevic978-1-927855-34-8 • $24.95 • 120 pages
Before email, before Instagram and selfi es, postcards were mailed across the world. At the turn of the 20th century, travellers to Winnipeg were impressed by the city’s stately architecture, its broad streets, and its tranquil parks. Hand-tinted postcards expressed the vibrancy and optimism felt by visitors to Manitoba. Dreamlike and evocative, these vintage postcards are truly works of art.
On the Air: � e Golden Age of RadioGarry Moir978-1-927855-26-3 • $29.95 • 192 pages
Before the internet, before TV, Manitoba was a hotbed for innovation in radio. � ese innovations range from the fi rst publically-owned radio station to the fi rst play-by-play broadcast of women’s hockey. During World War II, a Winnipeg broadcaster was as well-known in England as Churchill. And Neil Young’s very fi rst recording was done at a local station. � ese are but a few of the stories of early radio in Manitoba. In its fi rst half century, the medium was a powerful, revolutionary force that touched and linked virtually everyone in the province.
From the Barren Lands:Fur Trade, First Nations, and a Life in Northern CanadaLeonard Flett978-1-927855-33-1 $29.95 • 328 pages
� is is a story about the fur trade and First Nations, and the development of northern Canada, seen and experienced not only through Leonard Flett’s eyes, but also through the eyes of his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
� e lives of indigenous people in remote areas of northern Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan in the 1960s and 1970s are examined in detail. Flett’s successful career with both the Hudson’s Bay Company and the North West Company provides an insight into the dying days of the fur trade and the rise of a new retail business tailored to First Nations.
