Recent Author Events & Book Signings

• Externalities by D. McCall Johnston (CANREADS)

  “From the very first page, readers are thrown into a whirlwind romance between two young lovers that you can’t help but root for. Their journey from their beloved homeland to the possibilities of Canada is rendered with warmth, vivid detail, and the heartfelt optimism that defines so many immigrant stories.”

• Lost Village by Michael Saver (CANREADS)

  “Michael Saver’s Lost Village is a striking, ambitious debut, reaching well beyond the familiar borders of a murder mystery. One of the most refreshing aspects of Lost Village is in its refusal to offer easy answers, marking Saver as a writer unafraid to let mysteries breathe, to trust readers with ambiguity, and to honour the spaces where one life intersects with many lives across time.”

• Warriors of the Red Wolf by Nicholas Varner (The Indie Critic)

  “A myth-infused work of young adult fantasy that draws deeply from oral storytelling traditions, moral allegory, and communal memory. Stylistically, the prose leans toward a measured, ceremonial tone, echoing Indigenous and mythic storytelling rhythms. Action scenes are visceral and often brutal, but Varner resists glorification.”

• Nii Ndahlohke: Boys’ and Girls’ Work at Mount Elgin Industrial School, 1890-1915 (Anishinabek News)

  “This short monograph achieves its aims of providing an educational resource for students in the Thames Valley region, making people aware of Mount Elgin and other Residential Schools, and bringing children’s stories to light for both the community and broader public.”
