Publisher's Summary:

The loss of her mother has left Kali McKenzie with too many unanswered questions. But while clearing out Elena's art studio, she finds a drawer packed with postcards, each bearing an identical one-line message from a Canadian gallery owner called Susannah Gillespie: thinking of you. Who is this woman and what does she know about Elena's hidden past?

Desperate to find out, Kali travels with her toddler, Finn, to Susannah's isolated home on a remote British Columbian island, a place of killer whales and storms. But as bad weather closes in, Kali quickly realises she has made a big mistake. The handsome and enigmatic Susannah refuses to talk about the past, and as Kali struggles to piece together what happened back in the 1970s, Susannah's behaviour grows more and more erratic. Most worrying of all, Susannah is becoming increasingly preoccupied with little Finn...

A tense, thrilling novel about a family divided by secrets, and the lengths a mother will go to protect her child.

Critic Reviews:

"A moving and suspenseful tale of the secrets a family keeps." (Rachel Hore)

Publisher's Summary:

Esther Wells goes on a diet and the scales fall from her eyes. Depriving themselves of fatty foods, both husband and wife have new perspectives on each other, and the process is one of slow destruction of their marriage. Esther tells in flashback, from the depths of her basement apartment in Earls Court, the history of her marital disaster - in between her consumption of chocolate cake, tinned fruit, sweet sherry and a host of other high-calorie goodies.

This novel examines the role of Womanhood. The time is the mid-sixties when sex role stereotypes are being examined and rejected, and Fay Weldon's book reflects the passions, humor, and anger of an era when women's self-analysis entailed a good deal of disruption. This novel depicts the rage and outrage of that traumatic era.

Publisher's Summary:

While speaking at a Hong Kong medical conference, neurosurgeon Dr. Lucas McCrae slips the cloth off a cadaver's head during a routine medical demonstration, and is overwhelmed with the shock by what's staring back at him: His best friend, Andy Baer.

Stunned, McCrae races back to Seattle to discover that Andy is in fact missing and may have been murdered by a gang of body snatchers who operate a legit funeral business and make a fortune by selling recovered body parts to medical researchers.

McCrae teams up with an unlikely pair - a beautiful but hard nosed female cop and a gang member whose family was victimized by the body parts ring - to try and expose a macabre web of corruption that involves law enforcement, politicians, funeral home curators and murdered prostitutes.

Internationally renowned neurosurgeon Allen Wyler takes us deep into a nightmarish scenario, shockingly ripped from recent headlines, and delivers a horrifically plausible, pause resisting thriller.

Wyler, a distinguished neurosurgeon himself, showcases a keen eye for detail as well as the ability to craft nuanced characters, and Ray Chase displays a surgeon's precision with his expertly calculated, pitch-perfect performance that heightens the nail-biting tension of this exhilarating medical thriller.

Title: The Canterbury Trail

Publisher's Summary:

It's the last ski weekend of the season and a mishmash of snow enthusiasts are on their way to a remote backwoods cabin. In an odd pilgrimage through the mountains, the townsfolk of Coalton - from the ski bum to the urbanite - embark on a bizarre adventure that walks the line between comedy and tragedy.

As the rednecks mount their sleds and the hippies snowshoe through the cedar forest, we see rivals converge for the weekend. While listeners follow the characters on their voyage up and over the mountain, stereotypes of ski town culture fall away. Loco, the ski bum, is about to start his first real job; Alison, the urbanite, is forced to learn how to wield an avalanche shovel; and Michael, the real estate developer, is high on mushroom tea.

In a blend of mordant humor and heartbreak, Angie Abdou chronicles a day in the life of these industrious few as they attempt to conquer the mountain. In an avalanche of action, Angie Abdou explores the way in which people treat their fellow citizens and the landscape they love.

Editorial Reviews:

Performer Marcie Millard rises to the challenge of embodying each of Angie Abdou's 14 at-odds "pilgrims" on their comi-tragic quest to reach Camelot, the soon-to-be-overcrowded mountain shack at the end of British Columbia's Canterbury trail. Millard's performance embraces the individual regional quirks that loom large in the group dynamics that reflect the economic and cultural conflicts that arise in a mining town-turned-tourist-trap: the juvenile stoners' rich ski bum slang, miner Fredrik's lilting Swedish-tinged English, and Quebecois Claudette's proud, angry French.

As Abdou's stereotypes climb their mountain, the complexities, anxieties, and motivations that make them human come to light, and though Camelot may not be the Holy Grail they were hoping for, it may leave them some of the compassion and maturity they need.
