Betrayal is an ugly yet compulsive game. Joelle is about to lose her husband Marc, who has become obsessed with Ketia, a young Haitian woman. Keitia lies to her family to conceal her liaison with Marc, knowing they would not approve. Joelle’s friend Diane does not realize that her boyfriend Nazim has never told his Muslim family in Morocco about her. Then Nazim gets a letter that threatens his secret.

In her first novel since her highly successful debut collection of short fiction, Ruins & Relics, Alice Zorn leads readers with sureness, sly humour, and grace into the lives of a diverse cast of characters struggling with conflicting cultural values and the demands of intimacy. Set against the busy urban mosaic of Montreal in the winter of 1999, Arrhythmia is a study of betrayal: the large betrayals we commit against our loved ones, and the smaller ones we commit against ourselves.

Arrhythmia is a vivid and elegantly written novel with characters so fully realized, so round and warm and fraught with their own hidden desires and wounds, so sincere in both their misapprehensions and their hard-won resolutions that the reader inhabits them, smells the rich aromas of their cooking, endures the pain of their longing for what is forbidden, rejoices in their moments of triumph and redemption. Arrhythmia holds the reader fast from its opening pages to its wise and satisfying end.julie k eith author of The Devil Out There

“An utterly compelling story written with a clear, cold eye. Zorn’s women navigate betrayal by holding filaments of family and friendships so tenuous you never know which lifeline will snap.”k athleen w inter Governor General and Giller nominated author of Annabel

What is real when seen through the eyes of a child? When does the harshness of reality transform idyllic memories? The young narrator of Santa Rosa seeks the answers to these questions as she tries to make sense of the disintegration of her parents’ marriage — a process echoed by the slow disintegration of their neighbourhood.

In subtle poetic prose, Wendy McGrath evokes afternoons at the fair captured in overexposed photographs, and a family’s disquieting day at the beach as moments that exist apart from time, in a place where every sense is heightened, and where every memory is sharpened as if in a lucid dream where understanding lies just beyond reach.

Beautifully wrought! In Santa Rosa, Wendy McGrath takes us into the province of childhood, recreating the essence of a time and place where our eyes are opened to the colours of the world, her writing rich with sensory images and closely observed detail. Hers is a songlike gift, and Santa Rosa is a novel of poetic grace.

L y n d a M o n a h a n author of What My Body Knows

Wendy McGrath captures the fragmented dynamics of family from a child’s point of view. Her prose evokes a kind of lyrical menace and a sense of period that is simultaneously past and vividly present.

WHY IS MAGIC STILL A SECRET IN EDMONTON? GOOD PR.Psychic Anna Gareau and public relations expert Collie Kostyna keep things quiet for local magicians and for their biggest client, an underground supernatural society known as the Embassy.

In Grayling Cross, an investigator arrives in town on the trail of a missing teenage psychic, and hires Anna and Collie to be his liaisons to the local magic community. Troublingly, though, he turns out to have a knack for suppressing magic, leaving magicians powerless and vul-nerable — and the Embassy wastes no time telling Anna and Collie to get him out of town. And when an Embassy employee is found murdered in a house nobody should have been able to enter, with a weapon that never should have killed him, suspicion naturally falls upon Anna and Collie’s new client.

Was he involved in murder? And what is his relation-ship to a northern Alberta ghost town called Grayling Cross? To answer those questions, Anna and Collie must face unveiled threats from their employers, a city full of dangerous suspects, and the uneasy feeling that reality and morality are shifting around them.

Who knew that Edmonton had such a rich underworld, filled with crazy characters and magic? If you liked Mike Carey’s Felix Castor series, read Gayleen Froese’s Grayling Cross and settle in for a fun ride with the paranormal world’s Thelma and Louise.

Gangson is about aesthetics and culture, both personal and impersonal. It’s about language and politics, and the politics of language.

Gangson is also about violence. Violence shapes societies and places. Violence writes histories, defines movements, and constructs meanings. In the series of poems at the heart of this collection, Were the Bees author Andy Weaver examines how aggression and manipulation are as equally responsible as politics and lan-guage for how societies come to be defined.

Employing experimental techniques such as cut-ups and chance-generated poetry and drawing inspiration from the classic turn-of-the-century criminal study, Gangs of New York, Gangson presents a new way of thinking about the politics of survival and the bestial nature of man.

Amazing Stories from Canada’s Wildest DecadeThe 1920s were one of the wildest decades in Canada’s history, a time of frivolous fads, shocking crimes, and political and social changes that definitively yanked the country out of the 19th century and into the modern age. In Strange Days, Ted Ferguson revisits dozens of stories that could only have happened in the ’20s — tales of serial killers, athletes, con men, crackpots, prime ministers, bathing beauties, and more — all of them nearly too amazing to believe and too entertaining to be forgotten.

[BIO] Ted Ferguson was born and raised in Victoria, BC. For ten years, he worked as a newspaper reporter, television critic, sports columnist, and magazine writer in several cities across Canada, before becoming a full-time freelance writer 30 years ago. He has published seven books, including the Alberta Non-Fiction Book Award winner Desperate Siege. His humourous memoir, Back Roads,

was published by NeWest in 2008.
