| Title: As We Forgive Others |
| Series: Northern Gothic Mysteries |
| By (author): Shane Peacock |
| ISBN10-13: 1770867627 : 9781770867628 |
| Winner, Crime Writers of Canada Award Of Excellence â Best Crime Novel Set in Canada 2025 Hugh Mercer has come to a small town in Ontario, far away from his broken career, broken marriage, and broken life in New York. Heâ s expecting to take advantage of what heâ s sure will be a peaceful place in the middle of winter to begin to make some sense of the situations heâ s left behind. Before he has a chance to settle into his rented farmhouse, a strange woman appears on his doorstep and makes a startling prediction: Elizabeth Goode, a local, is about to disappear under bizarre circumstances and her life is at risk. Mercer needs further information, but as quickly as she appeared, the stranger is gone. Within a few days, Elizabeth Goode does indeed vanish from a café in town and all the witnesses have different accounts of the event. Her life now depends on the skills Mercer honed in the New York Police Department as a homicide detective and the down-to-earth abilities of local police officer Alice Morrow. Together they work to solve the mystery of the disappearance and get to Elizabeth before she is murdered; but they, too, are troubled by their own need for forgiveness, their desire for justice, and their passion for each other. |

| Title: Ash Steps |
| Sub-title: Poems |
| By (author): M. Travis Lane |
| ISBN10-13: 1770860967 : 9781770860964 |
| M. Travis Lane's fourteenth poetry title is a meditation on loss and reorientation, continuity and memory. Widowhood and mortality are at the centre of this quiet collection, but fear and self-pity are not to be found here: only a clear-eyed coming-to-terms. Lane's metaphors are unforced, natural yet always surprising: a beggar sitting at the midpoint of a footbridge "like the small bubble balancing/ midway in a plumber's level," trees in a night plaza that "hold/ like dark peaches the late street lamps." Her acute powers of observation are entwined with historical and cultural awareness, attunement to the natural world, and a music that holds it all together. |

| Title: Autokrator |
| By (author): Emily A. Weedon |
| ISBN10-13: 177086685X : 9781770866850 |
| Driven by a Machiavellian mind and ego, Tiresius has risen through the ranks of the Autokracy to become Imperial Treasurer, has won over the trust of the Autokrator himself, and yet, has broken the societyâ s most scared rules: She has posed as a male for many years. In the eyes of the Autokracy, this gender crime is one of the most heinous a person can commit, and punishable by death. In this deeply etched speculative world, women â Unmales â have been relegated to non-person status with their reproduction strictly controlled. Their only role is to serve men, and to do so from the shadows. Tiresiusâ s rebellion against the Autokracy coincides with that of a Domestic â a female labourer â named Cera. Ceraâ s son, who was taken from her at birth as demanded by tradition, is the successor to the Autokracy. She is desperate to be part of his life and takes dangerous steps toward revealing herself to him, becoming a gender criminal herself. The fates of both women become intertwined as they are driven to discover what cost gender and power exact. |

| Title: Breathing the Page |
| Sub-title: Reading the Act of Writing |
| By (author): Betsy Warland |
| ISBN10-13: 1770867031 : 9781770867031 |
| A written work is more than just letters on a page â it is a complex web of relationships. Some, like the relationship between words and phrases, or story and plot, are obvious. Others, such as the way writers interact with their physical tools, or how storytellers convey meaning to an audience, are less apparent. But to write well, one must recognize, understand, and be guided by all of these relationships. In Breathing the Page: Reading the Act of Writing, Betsy Warland takes the reader on her quest to articulate the powerful forces beneath the language of craft. In this collection of essays, Warland reveals that it is the manner in which we encounter these forces that makes, or breaks, every piece of writing. Her topics range from the environment one chooses to write in, to the tools on which we depend, to the way we subconsciously structure our anecdotes. A holistic guide for all those passionately involved in the production and flourishing of our literature, Warlandâ s essays have invigorated writers and readers alike. In this second edition, Warland continues her quest to investigate the relationships between the writer, the reader, the tools of writing craft, and the unpredictable vibrancy of the narrative. Through nine new essays, she draws awareness to the specific narrative templates we inherit as we grow up and provides strategies for navigating these templates when we meet resistance, contradiction, failure, and lack. |

| Title: Celia's Song |
| By (author): Lee Maracle |
| ISBN10-13: 1770864512 : 9781770864511 |
| Mink is a witness, a shape shifter, compelled to follow the story that has ensnared Celia and her village, on the West coast of Vancouver Island in Nuuâ Chahlnuth territory. Celia is a seer who â despite being convinced sheâ s a little â offâ â must heal her village with the assistance of her sister, her mother and father, and her nephews. While mink is visiting, a double-headed sea serpent falls off the house front during a fierce storm. The old snake, ostracized from the village decades earlier, has left his terrible influence on Amos, a residential school survivor. The occurrence signals the unfolding of an ordeal that pulls Celia out of her reveries and into the tragedy of her cousinâ s granddaughter. Each one of Celiaâ s family becomes involved in creating a greater solution than merely attending to her cousinâ s granddaughter. Celiaâ s Song relates one Nuuâ Chahlnuth familyâ s harrowing experiences over several generations, after the brutality, interference, and neglect resulting from contact with Europeans. |

| Title: Channel Surfing in the Sea of Happiness |
| By (author): Guy Babineau |
| ISBN10-13: 177086749X : 9781770867499 |
| â Babineauâ s delightful sense of humour, his way of drawing us so fully into the worlds of his characters and, perhaps most important, his ability to bring queer history to life all contribute to a deeply satisfying reading experience.â â Plenitude Magazine Channel Surfing in the Sea of Happiness is an iconoclastic romp through the end of the twentieth century. The misfit characters in this funny and poignant collection of stories find themselves adrift in an increasingly absurdist world â a world they must reinvent for themselves in order to find hope. How much of our identity is forged by direct experience, and how much is shaped by our constant exposure to a barrage of images and ideas imposed on us from elsewhere? From a story about a precocious teenage boy coming out in high school in the 1970s, to a series of tales about two queer con artists and their ridiculous get-rich-quick schemes, to a yarn about a famous transgender sex workerâ s efforts to rally her community against redneck homophobes, to an account of a lesbian puppeteerâ s AIDS activism in the 1980s, to a story about a sister coming to terms with her brotherâ s death from AIDS, the collection explores how the human heart stays afloat in a society entertaining, informing, and networking itself to death. |

| Title: Chasing Painted Horses |
| By (author): Drew Hayden Taylor |
| ISBN10-13: 1770865608 : 9781770865600 |
Winner of the 2020 PMC Indigenous Literature Award When Ralph Thomas comes across graffiti of a horse in an alleyway in the early hours of the morning, he is stopped in his tracks. He recognizes this horse. A half-asleep Indigenous homeless man sees Ralphâ s reaction to the horse and calls out to him. Over the course of a morningâ s worth of hot coffee on a bitterly cold day, Ralph and the homeless man talk and Ralph remembers a troubling moment from his childhood when an odd little girl, Danielle, drew the most beautiful and intriguing horse on his motherâ s Everything Wall, winning the competition set up for children on the Otter Lake Reserve. Ralph has lived with many questions that arose from his eleventh winter. What did the horse mean â to him, his sister, his best friend, and, most importantly, the girl who drew it? These questions have never left him. Chasing Painted Horses has a magical, fablelike quality that will enchant readers, and haunt them, for years to come. |
