5 years ago NL was absolutely walloped with 80cm of snow, an event that was quickly dubbed Snowmageddon, after folks were finished shovelling out, we quickly made the best of it, banding together, neighbour helping neighbour. Many folks took photos of the event, which Nick Cranford compiled in his book, NL Snowmageddon 2020. We have copies at our office, and you can pick some up for the bargain price of $5.00!

We're having a pretty tame January (hopefully I didn't just jinx it), and this book is a great way to look back at much snowier times.

Hard Cases, by Gareth Mitton
Hard Cases, by Gareth Mitton

NEW ARRIVAL! Our newest title, Hard Cases, by Gareth Mitton - Author, has arrived and is now available. Check out this introduction video from Gareth, and find your copy at your local bookseller. We'll have details of the launch for Hard Cases early next week, keep your eyes peeled. Congratulations, Gareth! Mischief. Mayhem. Seagulls. If you found a briefcase sitting on a city bus, would you take it? If you found $50,000 cash inside, would you keep it? If you could make a million for doing something truly terrible, would you do it? Hard Cases is a fast-paced thriller set on the streets of St. John’s and escalating to a hair-raising conclusion amid the ancient fjords of Newfoundland’s west coast. A twenty-something Englishman new to the Rock, Greg, soon falls in with “The Gulls”—a gang of characters as colourful as the capital city’s famous jelly bean row houses. After finding a briefcase full of cash on a city bus, he and his misfit friends are pulled into a series of increasingly risky dares perpetrated by a mysterious, riddling benefactor. Finding a twist at every turn, the Gulls embark on a journey that tests their friendships, their loyalties, and the limits of their morality, all leading to the million-dollar question: Where would you draw the line? Hard Cases has been described as a page-turning "Ocean's Eleven meets Guy Ritchie movie" with a Newfoundland twist.

Natalie Carter-Giles, Author shares the spark of inspiration that started the writing journey of her new thriller, Next to Die, which was launched at Chapters St. John's this past Saturday.

COVER REVEAL! Hard Cases, by Gareth Mitton - Author, is coming this October from Flanker Press, and we can't wait for people to get their hands on it.

Be sure to follow Gareth's author page, linked above, for all the news leading up to, and around the release of his new novel. Hard Cases will be available on October 11, and is up for pre-order now on our website. https://flankerpress.com/product/hard-cases

All three discover new things about their world and themselves in this sweet tale about bonding and growing up. Take some time to complete this book’s search-and-find activity for some extra fun!
