“If Canadians are ever to have an origin story they all can embrace, we need more books like Trading Fate, which tells the overlooked story of how the west coast narrowly escaped becoming American.”
—Madelaine Drohan, author of He Did Not Conquer: Benjamin Franklin’s Failure to Annex Canada

Called “essential reading for British Columbians”, Trading Fate is a uniquely west-coast take on Canada’s origin story.

Available September 2025. https://buff.ly/7RPlYWQ

"This timely and important book transports the reader back to the very beginnings of what would become British Columbia, demonstrating just how close BC came to being annexed into the USA. Extremely engaging and well written, Trading Fate is essential reading for British Columbians."
—Eric Brighton, award-winning co-author of Lost Kootenays: A History In Pictures, content creator and founder of Lost BC

"A brave and timely book that pulls no punches,” What Friends Are For by award winning author Harriet Zaidman is a powerful and nuanced YA novel focusing on Canada’s 1983 abortion debate.

"A brave and timely book that pulls no punches. Abortion is never easy to decide upon, go through, or write about. For all those who think a story about abortion is too tough for teenagers, think again. Knowledge is power."
—Karin Wells, journalist, lawyer and award-winning author of Women Who Woke Up the Law: Inside the Cases that Changed Women's Rights in Canada

This Fall, Harriet Zaidman brings us to the 1980s debate on bodily autonomy in Canada in her latest YA book, What Friends Are For.

“Zaidman takes a complicated issue and makes it easier to understand. Young readers will see themselves in Leesa, and they will come away from the book with a sense of compassion for those who are struggling with this difficult choice.”
—Deborah Ellis, author of The Outsmarters

Named “a master storyteller” by award-winning journalist Bruce Masterman, David Giblin’s The Trophy Hunter will be swimming onto shelves September 2nd!

“David Giblin is a master storyteller. He weaves deep soul, vivid description and rollicking
narrative through this touching yet entertaining book. Populated by a cast of colourful characters
like Troutbreath and Wet Lenny, The Trophy Hunter is about West Coast fishing, to be sure, but it is more about life itself.”
—Bruce Masterman, award-winning outdoor writer, journalist, and author of One Last Cast: Reflections of an Outdoor Life

Called “charming and richly imagined”, David Giblin’s The Trophy Hunter promises a compelling and nostalgic wrap up to the Chronicles of a West Coast Fishing Guide series.

#TheTrophyHunter #WestCoast #ReadLocalBC

"A Leacock-worthy tale, The Trophy Hunter features a fascinating cast of characters as they navigate the ebb tides and eddies of life, searching—like all of us—for that next big fish. Charming and richly imagined, well-written—and very funny. It will make you want to pull up stakes and head for the coast."
—Will Ferguson, three-time winner of the Leacock Medal for Humour and author of Beyond Belfast: A 560-Mile Walk Across Northern Ireland on Sore Feet
