Judging the Chill Factor
I had the great pleasure of reading Lure by Deborah Kerbel in the very early writing stages. Every few weeks, I’d get an updated version with slight changes that ramped up the spooky factor just a hint more… I had the voice of John in my head for a long time afterwards. Loved it! As [...]
Mr. Jinnah in Mumbai
It’s a cold and snowy morning, one step back before two steps forward into spring (I hope). Just got a note from Don Hauka, author of Mr. Jinnah: Securities, and the more recent She Demons. Don is currently in Mumbai attending the Ficci Frames conference, a three day international conference covering all areas of media [...]
Author Sightings
It’s already March, how did that happen? Warm up the outdoors, and add a little more light (yeah, time’s changing this weekend!) and I’ll be a happy camper.

Check out the latest stories, and vote for your favourite. Some are spooky while others are funny. They’re written by [...]

In March, 2011, Dundurn will publish Tom Thomson: Artist of the North by Wayne Larsen, part of our Quest Biography series. Recently, Wayne took [...]
Lifting the Silence
I usually mark Remembrance Day in the same way I have since I was in grade school. I take a minute of silence to remember those who fought to give us our freedom, and I’ll wear a poppy. This year, I’ll have more involvement due to Lifting the Silence: A World War II RCAF Bomber [...]
