Webster is a happy little dog waiting for a family to love.

Everyone around him seems to be going home from the pet store, but Webster continues to wait . . . and wait . . . and wait. Will he get the happily-ever-after that he’s waiting so patiently for?

Webster’s story proves that every moment of sadness is only temporary if you never give up hope!

A true story about patience and perseverance.

MIDDLE AGE ISN’T BEING KIND TO DECLAN HALL... His career is in turmoil, his marriage has ended and he’s suddenly living in a Saskatoon high-rise with his sluggish bulldog and his Star Wars collection. As one brutally cold (colder than Hoth!) Canadian winter ensues, Deck tries desperately to get on track and adjust to his altered life. But there are roadblocks ahead as Deck struggles to find himself in his new world. Also includes the novella ROCKET OF THE STARSHIP. Grumpy gay comic shop owner Dare Darke is still adjusting to being in his first real relationship when an eighteen-year-old boy named Rocket enters his store and drops a bomb. What follows is a blast wave that will alter Dare’s world forever.

Before the bubble bursts … In each of these twenty-two short stories comes a brief, shining moment—a surreal turning point—in which we are surprised to discover that the reality of our own comfortable little world is balanced on the sharply honed edge of a knife.<br><br>F. E. Eldridge uses a finely tuned literary lens to focus on and magnify the impact of a single moment in time in the lives of her female protagonists, young and old, in these tales of both past and present, in settings that range from Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley to the Canadian Prairies.

All’s wool that ends wool in this cozy story of a little lamb with a big challenge–making a woolly jumper of her very own!

“We need to be careful that we don’t hurt the gifts that are given to us.” Told in paskwâwinîmowin (Plains Cree), anihšināpēmowin (Saulteaux), and English, this simple tale of traditional teachings and values follows a grandparent and grandchild on a visit to a chokecherry patch, where lessons about respect and gratitude for the earth’s gifts are shared.

Shepherd & Wolfe. They’re not the Hardy Boys. High school student Sheri Beckman has disappeared. When a massive search turns up nothing, her boyfriend, Tony Shepherd, joins forces with a wise-ass troublemaker named Charlie Wolfe to find out what happened. But Charlie’s investigations aren’t always legal, so when another missing girl is found dead, Tony must decide whether doing right might sometimes mean doing wrong. Together, Shepherd and Wolfe must find a ruthless killer and stop him before someone else dies.

If places could talk, what would they say?

Every place in Saskatchewan has a story to tell.

Journey through time to explore some of them!

Experience the joy and wonder of the wilderness. The blue lakes and rocky shores of northern Saskatchewan have fed Ric Driediger’s soul for nearly fifty years. Here he recounts his most memorable canoe trips, and introduces the reader to many of the people with whom he has travelled—either literally or vicariously—on these wonderful wilderness adventures. Ric brings a spiritual sensibility and a genuineness to his storytelling—and his wisdom, sense of humour, and profound respect for the land shine through on every page.

Memories of a northern childhood. Aldred Neufeldt grew up in the small Mennonite community of Horse Lake, northern Saskatchewan, in the 1940s—a place considered by everyone else to be “the boonies” and a time when the devastating effects of the Great Depression were still being felt. Though times may have been tough, it was a childhood of wonder and discovery, nurtured by energetic and resourceful parents who expressed their Christian faith and community values through deeds more than words. <br><br>Neufeldt recounts what it was like to live in the log house built by his father; run along deer trails in the nearby Nisbet Forest Reserve; walk to school on the old Carlton Trail; model home-sewn fashions inspired by the latest Eaton’s catalogue; navigate the social dynamics of a small one-room school; and come to understand how the diverse personalities that made up his extended family—from hardworking pioneer grandparents to an infamous distant cousin accused of murder—helped to shape his own identity. <br><br>Told with zest and a keen eye for humorous detail, Horse Lake Chronicles immerses readers in a way of life now scarcely remembered, and in doing so invites us to reflect on our own origins and pathways to adulthood.
