Hi Everyone!
 I just accidently deleted this half of my home page so I guess it's
 time for something new!
 I have a couple of new books out this spring.  Deep Waters is now
 in a soft cover edition and Meet Manitoba Children's Authors is hot
 off the press! We're doing a launch at McNally Robinson
 Booksellers in Winnipeg - Polo Park - events alcove - on June 30
 at 7:00 PM. There will be over 25 of the authors present at the
 event so invite a friend, have some cake, and meet our marvelous
 Manitoba children's authors!

 Meet Manitoba Children's Authors will be a great resource for
 teachers, librarians, parents and kids. Thirty-seven awesome
 Manitoba authors are profiled in this book. Learn how they began
 their writing careers, what books they personally recommend, and
 fun facts about each author. Also included are recommended
 writing exercises, advice for young writers and information about
 upcoming book releases.
 For the summer months at least,  Meet Manitoba Children's
 Authors will be available exclusively at McNally Robinson
 Booksellers in Winnipeg but you can order it online from them at: 
                           www.mcnallyrobinson.com  


 Deep Waters is now in soft cover. The new version has
 endorsements by Native American and First Nations people
 and also has a bonus music Cd offer included (just my little way of
 saying thank you to all you loyal readers out there).
 For those of you who don't know what Deep Waters is all about ,
 it's a contemporary novel set in the fictional First Nations
 community of Rabbit Lake. Especially relevant now in light of the
 Prime Minister's apology to Aboriginal Canadians on June 11,
 2008, it is my desire that  Deep Waters might serve as a bridge of
 understanding betwen Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people.
 Journey with Sarah as she is reunited with her birth mother,
 Gracie, a residential school (Indian boarding school) survivor. And
 discover with Sarah why Gracie still has so many struggles in her
 life, even after all these years.   
 A fast-paced action-filled book that will be hard to put down, Deep
 Waters also continues the story of Colin and Sarah growing
 friendship and blossoming love - for all you romantics out there!
