A stunning personal account of Janet Merlo's twenty years of service in the

RCMP, with an introduction by Linden MacIntyre. In 2012, Janet Merlo was

among the first female RCMP officers to publicly allege she had experienced

sexual harassment and gender discrimination while serving in Canada`s

national police force. The women kept silent for so long, she says, because

there was no one to tell. In this courageous memoir, Janet recalls how her

love of policing was soured by covert and overt sexism within the ranks and by

an institutional culture that valued toughness and silence over ethics and

accountability. Tracing her twenty years in uniform, Merlo’s story details the

highs and lows of her career in the RCMP – while her mental health and

personal life disintegrated. Eventually, the cost of keeping quiet was simply

too high, and her story emerges as a lone, brave voice seeking change.

ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTORS

Janet Merlo is a retired member of the RCMP. Originally from Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, Merlo spent most of her twenty year policing career on Vancouver Island. Merlo now lives with her two daughters in St. John’s, Newfoundland. She is the representative plaintiff in a proposed class-action

lawsuit against the RCMP.

REVIEWS

The impunity of RCMP officers who use obscenity and sex and power as tools

in their trade is spreading like a stain on a national icon. Will disclosure force

change? No One to Tell is a test case for an organization that was once the

pride of the nation. - Sally Armstrong, author of Ascent of Women

I always knew I’d be the perfect mother. So far, I’ve perfected the fetal

position. When Vicki Murphy brought her new baby home from the hospital,

she expected to be greeted by fluttering butterflies and harp-strumming

cherubs. You know: the way it is in diaper commercials and the “Yay, You’re

Preggers!” books. LIAR, LIAR, MATERNITY PANTS ON FIRE! Instead, she

had a baby boy who didn’t sleep for a year, whose cry was the official anthem

of Hades, and who could suck the nipples off a cyborg. That’s just the

beginning of this collection of tell-it-like-it-is rants and musings from the

creator of MotherBlogger.ca and mother of the fiery-spirited (and fiery-haired)

boy better known as Turbo Ginger. Murphy brings her inimitable voice to a

book about mothering that fills in what the other how-to guides leave out – and

reminds us that when it comes to parenting, we’re all motherfumblers, feeling

our way along in the dark, doing the best we can, hoping to come out with our

minds intact and a kid we haven’t screwed up – too badly.

ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTOR

Vicki Murphy is a self-described “writer, mother and hot mess” from Badger’s

Quay, Newfoundland. She is an advertising creative director, a frequent

Huffington Post contributor, and the creator of popular blog motherblogger.ca

– where Vicki chronicles her misadventures in motherhood. She lives in

Torbay, Newfoundland, with her husband Andrew and their son, Max.

The fishery, the seal cull, the settlement, the culture—the history of the

province of Newfoundland and Labrador has been shaped and witnessed from

the deck of sea-going vessels, and those vessels were sparred with local

timbers, planked and rigged by the hands of our master shipbuilders. From

east to west, north to south, Calvin Evans covers every coast and bay in a

sweeping chronicle of craftsmanship and productivity. While deftly countering

the outdated argument that our builders were inferior craftsmen, this history is

augmented by exhaustive lists of every builder on record from every corner of

the province. Impeccably researched and contextualized, Calvin Evans’s

Master Shipbuilders of Newfoundland and Labrador offers an indispensable

addition to the story of our past.


Calvin D. Evans is a retired University Librarian. Born in Newfoundland, Evans

has lived and worked in six Canadian provinces, and is the author of two

previous books. For 100 years his family built ships for the Labrador and

Grand Banks fishery, and he has a continuing avid interest in maritime

history.

Rogers Communications Award for Non-Fiction 2013, Short-listed

A soldier dies, a community vanishes…and a story is found.

When Steven Norris—a lieutenant with the famed Royal Newfoundland

Regiment—dies at the battle of Gueudecourt in 1916, his family business is

left without an heir. With the end of the Norris family mill, the once thriving

town of Three Arms disappears.

Almost 90 years later, a high-school theatre class mounts a successful

musical based on the life and death of Steven Norris. When the curtain drops,

a group of actors, teachers, and parents embark on a camping expedition to

Three Arms where they stumble upon the actual artifacts of Norris’s young

life.

A compelling history—part narrative, part documentary, part drama—Joan

Sullivan’s In the Field reminds us how one soldier’s great sacrifice can

resonate long after he has fallen.


J. M. Sullivan is a freelance writer whose work has appeared in The Globe and

Mail, The Telegram, This Magazine, and on CBC Radio. She also works in

theatre as a director, actor and playwright. She lives in St. John’s with her

daughter, Marianne.

The third volume in the best-selling Nursing History series. Overseas

recruitment of nurses has been part of nursing in Newfoundland and Labrador

since Wilfred Grenfell brought the first two nurses to Labrador in 1893. It is

believed that hundreds of nurses have come from away to work, live, and

sometimes stay in the province. This book shares the stories of 41 nurses

who immigrated to NL from 1949 to 2004 and who made a tremendous

contribution to healthcare in the province. Their stories shed light on the

challenges they encountered in the workplace and with the province’s lifestyle

and culture. The stories are funny, poignant, and highlight the courage and

commitment of these nurses along with the strong attachment they grew to

have for their adopted home.

Winner, Bronze, 2012 IPPY Awards

Despite his potential, extraordinary skating skills, and unmatched dedication

and endurance, George Faulkner never made the Montreal Canadiens’ roster.

But he was trying to break into a famous hockey dynasty never before seen in

professional hockey. His story does not just begin and end with the

Canadiens; in fact, George Faulkner had more than one opportunity to play in

the NHL. His career covers four decades. Many believe the most exciting

hockey years were in Harbour Grace during the 1960s where he created a

dynasty of his own – the Conception Bay Ceebees. The success of the NAHA

in those years seemed entirely dependent on Faulkner and his kid brothers.

Their on-ice performances were so outstanding, they turned the league into

one of the best senior hockey organizations in the nation. Richard Winston

‘Dickie’ Moore said, “George Faulkner was the best player I ever saw who

never made it to the NHL.”


T.P. Rossiter is a retired educator. During his time in education, he worked as

a teacher, administrator, and curriculum coordinator. He has co-edited high

school texts in English literature for the provinces of NL, NB, ON, and P.E.I.

and has edited several anthologies. He has also written a teacher resource

manual for high school poetry. Several of his short stories have appeared in

local media over the past 10 years.

Danny Williams: A Profile examines the seven-year political career of former

Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams. With photos by

renowned photojournalist Paul Daly and evocative text by long-time political

columnist Russell Wangersky, the book captures the nature and style of one

of the country’s most popular political figures. His career included everything

from battles of words with other premiers and with prime ministers to

conversations with constituents who felt they could call him “Danny."

Consistently carrying the support of more than 70 per cent of his province’s

decided voters, Premier Danny Williams retired suddenly in 2010 at the top of

his game. Sometimes irascible, and other times self-deprecating and

charming, the charismatic Williams left a huge mark, especially for a premier

of a small-population province. Occasionally seeming like an ardent

Newfoundland and Labrador nationalist, other times professing a great love for

the nation of Canada, he battled his way to major successes and left office

when he said he felt there were no significant fights left to wage. With

photographs that skillfully capture a more personal side of the man than is

usually revealed, the book seeks to be a small window on Danny Williams,

particularly for people who wonder both what he has done for the province and

what he is truly like.


Paul Daly was an award winning photojournalist in Ireland prior to moving to

Newfoundland and Labrador. He garnered a local following as “that

photographer from The Independent." His images have been featured in

newspapers and magazines nationally and internationally.

Winner of the 2010 Rogers Communications Award.

It is also the chronicle of a journey, a feminist road-trip taken during one of the most tumultuous times in

Newfoundland’s modern history.

The Newfoundland armed forces suffered devastating losses during World War

I. Known unto God is a memorial to the men in these forces who died during

the war and who have no known graves. The book is also a companion guide

to the Memorial Bronze Tablets that list their names. The tablets were first

unveiled at the Newfoundland Memorial Park in Beaumont-Hamel, France, in

1925. Replicas of the tablets were erected in 2009 in Bowring Park in St.

John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador.

Known unto God celebrates these men’s contributions and includes period

memorabilia and photographs from private and public collections, some of

which have never been published.

As Silk Sails entertainingly demonstrates, existing records show that women

of the Atlantic region were owners of boats, ships and waterfront properties

from as early as 1650. Women’s involvement in early fishing adventures as

sole owners and “co-partners in trade” was real and substantial. This sample

of approximately 500 Newfoundland women depicts a hardy, durable and

opportunities of her time. The study is complemented by interviews with some

of the women who had owned working ships from the 1930s to the 1960s. A

companion volume on more than 1,000 women ship owners of the Maritime

The devastation of the North Atlantic cod stocks, particularly the tremendous

stocks of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Grand Banks, has become an

icon for the unsustainable relation between human exploitation and Nature.

Here, George Rose tells the full story of that devastation, in scientific detail,

for the first time – from the formation of the North Atlantic marine ecosystems

to the massive stock declines in the last half of the 20th century. Politics and

the fisheries are inextricably entwined. In Cod, Rose recounts the many

political influences on the fisheries over several centuries and describes how

neglect from the late 1800s onward led to insufficient scientific knowledge and

little protection for the stocks when massive Euro-Russian fleets targeted the

Grand Banks after World War II, destroying the greatest fishery the world has

known. Cod is no armchair account, but a controversial one that includes

original information on the North Atlantic fisheries.


George Rose is one of Canada’s best known and most respected fisheries

scientists. He is widely considered to be the authority on the Newfoundland

and Labrador cod fishery. He was born in St. John’s, then attended school in

Ontario. He holds degrees in Fisheries and Wildlife Management from the

University of Guelph, in biology from Laurentian University, and holds a

doctorate in biology from McGill University. His main career interests have

been in the fisheries of the North Atlantic and in world-wide conservation,

particularly in Africa, on which he has published over 100 peer reviewed

publications. He lives on Three Island Pond in Paradise, Newfoundland.

REVIEWS

“This is an ambitious effort to tell the entire epic tale…It's a triumph of a book.

Cod is written in plain and lively language. Lushly illustrated and assiduously

researched, it cuts no corners but still deftly manages to weave the

fascinating human history of Newfoundland into the saga of its complex

marine ecology.” - Terry Glavin, Vancouver Sun

"It really is a wonderful book." - Mark Callanan, The Independent

At the age of 18, Frank Dyke joined the 59th Heavy Nfld. Regiment and fought

in WWII. In 1955, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and served at a

number of postings including Goose Bay, Fort Churchill, and France. At the

end of his military career, he took a job with the Department of External

Affairs, spending two years at the Embassy in Moscow. Later he was a radio

operator offshore in Venezuela, the North Sea, and on the Ocean Ranger.

After this he began working for the United Nations as a Communications

Director, travelling to Khartoum, Sudan, with the UN World Food Program

during a time of rampant famine. To Be Frank brings to life the most

memorable adventures of this extraordinary Newfoundlander.


Frank Dyke is a retired war veteran. He currently lives in Reidville,

Newfoundland and Labrador, where he enjoys reading, writing, and music. He

has had numerous and varied careers throughout his life that have taken him

to five continents.

J. M. Sullivan is a freelance writer whose work has appeared in The Globe and

Mail, The Telegram, This Magazine, and on CBC Radio. She also works in

theatre as a director, actor and playwright. She lives in St. John’s with her

daughter, Marianne.

REVIEWS

"Stolid, compassionate, self-assured, Christian, loyal. Frank Dyke would

appear to be a man more formed by the 19th century than the 20th." "[Dyke's]

observations of the enemy show a sensitivity that was rare in those terrible,

tumultuous days, and he weaves together enough personal and historical

detail to produce a vivid, striking portrait of a young, impressionable but

centred soldier caught up in catastrophic events" "A quick and easy read." -

Does the massive Kraken lurk off the coast of Newfoundland? Does Bigfoot

wander our forests and barrens? Have mermaids tempted fishermen in St.

John’s Harbour?

From stories of Native tradition and accounts of early European explorers to

contemporary sightings of predatory big cats and skulking lake monsters,

Here Be Dragons catalogues the strange creatures said to be prowling the

coves and forests of Newfoundland and Labrador. Author Bruce Hynes

combines history, anecdote, and folktale to deliver the unexplained, the

frightening, and the truly unusual in this engaging and thoroughly entertaining

book dedicated to all those who claim to have seen something peculiar

snaking beneath the swells or shifting through the shadows in our own

backyard.


Bruce Hynes was born the son of a blacksmith in Norris Arm, Newfoundland

and Labrador, in 1940. His publications include The Eastport Peninsula: A

People of the Sea and Soil, The Noble Newfoundland Dog, and “One Hundred

Years of Canadian Military Mapping.” Apart from rescuing Newfoundland dogs,

he is a member of the Royal Canadian Legion.

REVIEWS

“Hynes writes engagingly well, and his book shows extensive research. His

commitment to the subject is academic caliber, while his writing style is

relaxed and reader-friendly. Hynes allows himself the occasional wry

comment regarding witness accounts, but he demonstrates serious regard for

his subject. ‘Here Be Dragons’ is a great read, and it’s as informative as it is

enjoyable.” - - The Western Star
