I have long been fascinated 
by ravens.
The way their calls spread 
through the forest like a magic 
cloak. The hollow bamboo call, 
the dripping water call, the 
knock on wood, the gargle, the 
gurgle, the kraa, and the wow!

Among these sticks 
and bones, may you 
discover a shining 
treasure of your own.

About The Book:

One day while walking in the woods, Allison 
Douglas-Tourner came across a raven harvesting sticks for his nest, dropping them into a 
pile to use later, along with a few small bones. 
The experience became a poem. 
Gathered here is a collection of “sticks and 
bones” from moments in the poet’s life, each 
giving the imagination room to breathe—for 
that is the true magic of haiku

A promising young artist, dead—hanging in his Saskatoon loft…

Just another suicide? His parents don’t think so. They convince Noah Carey to investigate.

Haunted by the death of his sister, coping with the pressures of imminent fame, did Ronnie Robinson finally give in to his demons?

Carey’s investigation takes some unexpected turns, leading him into the shadowy world of high-end art and a desperate scheme.

Noah Carey is not your normal tough-guy private eye. A retired historian turned investigator, he rides a bike and hates guns. But as the details he uncovers begin to take shape, Carey must put his life on the line—and he won’t stop until he has the whole picture.

Theft. Crime. And a brush with death.

Welcome to Noah Carey’s life.

After the war, Dorothy followed Sandy back to Canada, where he would rule on significant cases as an esteemed Saskatchewan Queen’s Bench judge, and Dorothy would embrace her new country of Canada while serving as a lifelong ambassador for France.
