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
Read moreDrift
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.
Read moreAlert to Glory
"Sound the trumpets! Sally Ito’s Alert to Glory is a clarion call … A transformative book both salt and sweet." — Susan McCaslin
Read moreDadolescence
"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.
Read moreWhat 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
Read morePortraits 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.
Read moreBandit
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
Read moreFluttertongue 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

Janice MacDonald
Janice MacDonald holds a Master’s in English Literature from the University of Alberta where she has worked as a sessional lecturer, radio producer and bartender. She also spent a decade teaching literature, communications and creative writing at Grant MacEwan College and has held positions as both an online chatroom monitor, and distance course instructor. A consummate folkie, she plays five-string banjo, fiddle, guitar, and piano, wrote the music and lyrics for two touring historical musicals and has been a singer/songwriter. Janice lives in Edmonton with her husband Randy and is the proud mother of two glorious grown girls.
Some folks have a talent for finding trouble, no matter how good they try to be, especially Randy Craig. Maybe she shouldn’t date a cop. Maybe she should have turned down the job at the Folkways Collection library—a job that became a nightmare when a rich benefactor’s belligerent heir turned up dead. Randy tried to be good—honest!—but now she’s a prime suspect with a motive and no alibi in sight.
