Village of the Small Houses
In 1959, just one step ahead of the law, Ian Ferguson’s parents left the sophisticated big-city life of Edmonton and ended up in Fort Vermilion, 846 km due north. It was meant to be a temporary move. Ian’s father lasted ten years before he made his escape; his mother remained until recently.

The bestselling satirical book that takes you on a hilarious journey through the mind of the part-time snowboarding instructor, drama teacher, and “costume” enthusiast who is the prime minister of Canada.

Full of real photos of Justin taking selfies, quizzes, a photo album of Justin’s taxpayer-funded vacation in India, and laugh-out-loud commentary, Trudeau on Trudeau is sure to answer the question, “What happens when a part-time snowboarder and drama teacher becomes prime minister of Canada?” Trudeau on Trudeau is a must-have, not just for political junkies, but for any and all Canadians who care about the future of our country.

The Lynn Valley Orchard Rules
The Lynn Valley Orchard Rules is a comedy with a sardonic twist. It follows the lives of four main characters as they make their way through the recovery process with some hilarious consequences.
