The Berry Pickers (2023)
Amanda Peters
"A marvelous debut. The Berry Pickers has all the passion of a first book but also the finely developed skill of a well-practiced storyteller. I can't believe Amanda Peters is just getting started. She writes like someone who has been doing this a long time, and no doubt she has, only now we get to share in the creativity of her amazing mind. She's going to be the next big thing. I am placing my bets now. The Berry Pickers is a triumph."

Bad Cree (2023)
Jessica Johns
"With creeps that are ever-creepy and love flowing like beer at a bush party, Bad Cree is a book about the power of dreams, home, and family. It reads like a tribute to the ones who came before us: Lee Maracle, Jeanette Armstrong, Eden Robinson. This book is tough iskwew in flannel shirts with long unbrushed hair, just looking good. It's tea rings on Formica tables, cigarette smoke wafting through windows, and an eerie magical realism that only belongs to the bush. Full of Auntie power, Jessica Johns is really coming into her own immense storytelling ways."

A Minor Chorus (2022)
Billy-Ray Belcourt
"A truly exceptional novel about how the disregarded sometimes live the most remarkable lives. A Minor Chorus?is like a song that's over too soon; I want to play it on repeat, to memorize the words so that I can sing them to myself."
