A Murder of Prose
Set to Fly on October 1, 2025
“Do you want to ride the lightning?” whispered the killer.
Samuel Rigondeaux, a meticulous reference librarian, joins five aspiring writers at the Lethbridge Library each week to fulfil his dream of writing a novel.
What could be the harm? A bruised ego?
But when novelists start turning up dead at the hands of a twisted serial killer, a black crow feather left at each murder scene, and the police investigation falters, Samuel is compelled to act. He recruits Flagstaff, an ex-RCMP detective suffering PTSD and living on the streets, to investigate the gruesome killings before another author is brutally silenced.
Can the librarian’s mad research skills and Flagstaff’s streetwise savvy reveal the killer’s identity, or will Samuel be added to the growing body count? And why are crows maintaining a not-so-silent vigil at the library?
​
Dive into this gripping murder mystery where the pursuit of literary dreams turns into a final, fatal chapter, proving that some stories are better left unwritten.
The Sunbeam Room
United by blood, but divided by life experience, geography and politics, Sarah and Digger couldn’t be more different.
​
A failed marriage, a crippling injury, and losing his only family connection leave Digger, a sixty-one-year-old Alberta oil sands worker, alone and directionless until his mother’s shocking confession and dying wish upends his life.
​
Sarah is a cautious number-crunching actuary in Ottawa. But her ordered world collapses when her husband Pieter is diagnosed with early-onset dementia just as the world shuts down.
​
In The Sunbeam Room, Digger embarks on a TransCanada quest to honour his mother’s dying request: hand deliver a letter to Sarah, the daughter she gave up at birth.
