Librarian Ogles Cleavage |
|
|
|
 "Melwyk," an Ontario librarian who also runs the literary blog The Indextrious Reader, has posted a lovely and enthusiastic new review of Theanna Bischoff's novel Cleavage. Here's a taste of what she had to say:
"The voice of the book is fantastic. Leah seems so real, and so isolated in her experience of this disease.... I loved the way she spoke, and the additions of newspaper articles, a magazine quiz, a sarcastic résumé, dictionary entries, postcards, etc. between the narrative itself are intriguing, and not at all gimmicky. I thought the story and the form were wonderfully suited, and found Bischoff to be a supremely confident writer who has turned out a very well crafted story.
"[Bischoff] is currently studying for her PhD in psychology — I just hope that along with her future career as a psychologist she will continue writing fiction. I enjoyed reading this novel, feeling as if I was being led through this not-so-pleasant life by someone that I could trust would give it meaning. Definitely recommended if you are interested in modern narratives about young Canadian women or about those dealing with serious illness." You can read the entire thing here. |

Garry Ryan: The Vegas Interview |
|
|
|
 Crime writer and blogger Anthony Bidulka recently tracked down NeWest Press author Garry Ryan in Las Vegas and distracted him from the slot machines long enough to ask him a few frivolous questions. Ryan's answers won't tell you much about Smoked, the exciting upcoming entry in his Detective Lane mystery series, but you will learn plenty about Ryan's Canadian credentials (or lack thereof), as well as which member of the cast of Caddyshack he most resembles. (Hint: it's not Bill Murray.)

From Ice to Ashes Reviewed |
|
|
|
 The Midwest Book Review has published this short but sweet review of From Ice to Ashes by Jessica Simon:
"In the snowy lands of the Yukon, North America's biggest threat hides. "From Ices to Ashes" tells the story of Markus Fanger, an American agent sent into the Yukon during the Yukon Artic Ultra, a combination foot, skiing, and mountain bike race through the harsh lands of the Yukon. With only a few people to call allies, Fanger has to look for one man amid the biggest annual event in the Yukon. "From Ices to Ashes" is a fascinating thriller, highly recommended." |
