Hang Down Your Head

Join Randy Craig for a roller coaster read with more twists than the Mindbender. Hang on to your hat for Hang Down Your Head. It’s Janice MacDonald at the top of her game. —Suzanne North, author of the Phoebe Fairfax

Drift

South Africa is long way from Canada. In 1899, two prairie boys throw themselves into the conflict of the Second Boer War looking for something their small-town lives cannot provide. With breathtaking grace, Leo Brent Robillard delivers an unstoppable story.

Alert to Glory

"Sound the trumpets! Sally Ito’s Alert to Glory is a clarion call … A transformative book both salt and sweet." — Susan McCaslin

Dadolescence

"This witty meditation on manly manliness is a head-butt at academic pretension and the Sword of Damocles that is the PhD thesis. A new novel so good, you’ll actually finish it." - Al Rae, Artistic Director, CBC Winnipeg Comedy Festival.

What the Bear Said

What the Bear Said is a marvellous collection of fables. The stories are immediate, the characters, both human and supernatural, crackle with life . . . —W. P. Kinsella

Portraits of Winnipeg

Winnipeg artist and designer, Robert J. Sweeney, captures Winnipeg’s urban landscape in this remarkable collection of sketches, Portraits of Winnipeg: The River City in Pen and Ink.

Bandit

Bandit is a masterful portrait of a complex human being and of his time. It's also a powerful reminder that no place is beyond the reach of myth . . . -The Winnipeg Free Press

Fluttertongue 5

Blessed with a savvy eye and a sound ear, Steven Ross Smith turns verse with a sure hand. Each poem is a splendid meditation that makes brilliant abracadabra out of the bric-a-brac of everyday pleasures and perils. —George Elliott Clarke

Monday, April 26, 2010

Last night hundreds sat in anticipation to hear just who would be named the best books in Manitoba. With a total of nine nominations in five different categories Turnstone was poised to claim a place among this years winners and we weren't disappointed.

Jan Horner's poetry collection, mama dada, which captures the life and times of the Baroness Else von Freytag-Loringhoven was honored with the Aqua Books Lansdowne Prize for Poetry. an unexpected break in the weather was able to top several excellent books to win the Margaret Laurence Award for Fiction.

Turnstone would like to congratulate all of its authors, John Toone, Wayne Tefs, Ronald Poulton, Jan Horner and Deborah Schnitzer, who were nominated for this year's awards. We are proud to be their publisher and thank them for the excellent stories they brought to us.
