From Sheree Fitch (Author - Order of Canada)  

​

Wow.  I want to roar, READ THIS BOOK.

​

I do not have enough superlatives. ROAR is simply stunning: a courageous book the world needs right now and forever. Masterfully crafted. Sentences that steal your breath. Characters so richly imagined, they follow you around and occupy your heart.... Infused with love, compassion, and unblinking truth. Above all else, ROAR is unforgettable. A debut novel it may be, yet it introduces the voice of an enlightened, gifted storyteller.

WINTER SKY
 

Coming in fall 2025

From celebrated filmmaker, actor, and novellist Shelley Thompson comes a collection of stories, both cherished and fresh as new-fallen snow. A blend of historical and contemporary, written in breathtaking prose, the stories in Winter Sky reflect the season’s contrasts: the light and the dark, the complexity and the comfort.

 

In “The Compass,” a chance encounter on a bus during a winter storm leads to the unravelling of a family mystery decades old. In “The Goat’s Christmas Carol,” an unexpected trio of carollers visits the home of a sick child on Christmas Eve, bringing not gold, frankincense, and myrrh but gifts of song, community, and a future.

 

In “Winter Sky,” the constellations provide company, and inspiration, for a young prairie boy on his early-morning walks to school. In “The Thing of It Is,” a couple’s never-ending home renovation binds them to a carpenter whose wisdom lies in recognizing what the heart needs to build comfort and joy.

 

Just like the season itself, these stories bring delight and heartache, and the wonder of gazing up at a winter’s sky.
