Rolling Thunder

by A.J. Devlin Will “Hammerhead” Jed find the missing roller derby coach, or is he just spinning his wheels?

Former pro wrestler “Hammerhead” Jed Ounstead, now a fully-fledged private investigator, is riding high after his first successful case. In this second episode, Jed leaves the wrestling realm to enter a new arena: women’s flat-track roller derby. When old acquaintance Stormy Daze seeks his help finding her team’s missing coach, Jed discovers that the turnbuckle-and-metal-chair mayhem of the wrestling ring pales in comparison to roller derby’s four-wheeled ferocity.

As his search intensifies, Jed is drawn into the criminal orbit of a shady entrepreneur who doubles as a late-night TV personality, a high-class bookmaker with a yen for racing dachshunds, and a kinky painter with a special technique for producing art. When the thunder rolls, Jed finds he needs more than a few of his beloved banana milkshakes to solve this case.

Rolling Thunder continues A.J. Devlin’s hard-hitting, award-winning mystery series with its unbeatable one-two punch of over-the-top-rope humour and elbow-to-the-face adventure.

In Veritas

by C.J. Lavigne Verity Richards must protect those who cannot endure in our world of ever-present technology.

“Things that are and are not, she thinks, and the dog is a snake.”

In this fantastic and fantastical debut, C.J. Lavigne concocts a wondrous realm overlaying a city that brims with civic workers and pigeons. Led by her synesthesia, Verity Richards discovers a hidden world inside an old Ottawa theatre. Within the timeworn walls live people who should not exist—people whose very survival is threatened by science, technology, and natural law.

Verity must submerge herself in this impossible reality to help save the last traces of their broken community. Her guides: a magician, his shadow-dog, a dying angel, and a knife-edged woman who is more than half ghost.

In the literary style of Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus and with the playful transformation of place in Lauren B. Davis’s The Grimoire of Kensington Market, In Veritas explores the nature of truth and the complexities of human communication.

“These poems do double work: they challenge what we think we know about the relationship between history and the present and ask us to consider what else would be going on.” ~ Juliane Okot Bitek, author of 100 Days

About The Author C.J. Lavigne was born in Kingston, ON, but grew up all over Canada, from Comox, BC to Barrington Passage, NS. Since 2007, she has divided her time between Ottawa, ON, and Red Deer, AB, where she currently resides and works as a professional communications scholar who writes on television, gaming, and popular culture; at other points in her life, she’s been a barista, tech support supervisor, marketing manager, freelance editor, and—briefly—radio DJ.

Hunger Moon

by Traci Skuce Thirteen stories brimming with complex hunger and desire.

Traci Skuce’s Hunger Moon is a collection of stories that echo with the yearning to be replenished, to be made full. Here are characters at cusp-points in their lives, attempting to shift their trajectories: to cease wrapping up heart’s desire in a pink bubble by launching it into the universe. Some turn to ESP, some to a belief in ghosts, some to the future caught inside a glass bottle, each character taking the hackneyed adage “Follow Your Bliss” too literally when they blissfully follow their own storyline.

Emotionally charged, evocative, and lush, Hunger Moon’s thirteen short stories each set out on profound quests to satisfy an emotional hunger.

The Response of Weeds:

A Misplacement of Black Poetry on the Prairies

by Bertrand Bickersteth An overdue and vital examination of being Black and Albertan.

Bertrand Bickersteth’s debut collection explores what it means to be black and Albertan through numerous prisms: historical, biographical, and essentially, geographical. The Response of Weeds offers a much-needed window on often overlooked contributions to the province’s character and provides personal perspectives on the question of black identity on the prairies. Through these rousing and evocative poems, Bickersteth uses language to call up the contours of a land that is at once mesmerizing as it is dismissively effacing.

Such is black identity here on this paradoxical land, too.

Lullabies in the Real World

by Meredith Quartermain A train trip across Canada; a trek back in time.

Meredith Quartermain’s Lullabies in the Real World is a sequence of poems about a train journey from West Coast to East Coast that invokes a patchwork of regions, voices and histories. Her language zings with train rhythms as she unfolds a complex conversation with poets such as bpNichol and Robin Blaser.

This collection reflects and refracts Canada from diverse angles, and challenges colonizing literatures such as the Odyssey and various canonical British and US voices. As it moves from west to east, the book journeys back in time to interrogate historical events such as the Battle of the Plains of Abraham and the exclusion of Acadians. It ends by imagining a time before or outside colonization.

Rich, playful and confrontational, Lullabies in the Real World widens the poetic lens of poetry to investigate the place of a colonial nation in history, and the place of a poet vis-à-vis the voices of other poets.

Broke City

The Melting Queen

by Wendy McGrath

by Bruce Cinnamon

Broke City, the final book in Wendy McGrath’s Santa Rosa trilogy, follows young Christine as she edges into a deepening knowledge of the adult world around her and of her own complicated place in that world.

Edmonton will never be the same after River Runson is named Melting Queen in a debut that balances satire and compassion, history and magic to weave a splendid futurelooking tale.

“With her now-complete portrait of the artist as a young girl, McGrath proves why she’s a writer to pay attention to.”

“... a worthy, interesting read based on the essential idea that now is the time to unmask history and change what no longer serves us.”
