A Good Death
Having a good death is our final human right, argues Sandra Martin in this updated and expanded version of her bestselling and award-winning social history of the right to die movement in Canada and around the world. Winner of the BC National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction, finalist for both the Donner Prize in Public Policy and the Dafoe Prize for History, A Good Death has a new chapter on Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying Law. The law allows mentally competent adults, who are suffering grievously from incurable conditions, to ask for a doctor’s help in ending their lives. Does the law go far enough? No, says Martin.

The Art of the Obit
In The Art of the Obit, award-winning journalist Sandra Martin reveals the cult and craft of obituary writing from the ancient Greeks to a wired-up 24/7 world. In this witty exploration of our oldest biographical form, Martin punctures five long-held myths about the dead beat, chronicles the social, political, cultural, and historical impact of obituaries and explores the future of writing about the dead on the Internet and social media sites. This fascinating and provocative work proves that there’s no such thing as an uninteresting life.
Working the Dead Beat
"Globe and Mail columnist Sandra Martin honours the lives of Canada's famous, infamous, and unsung heroes in this unique collection of obituaries of the first decade of the twenty-first century. Here are Canadian icons such as Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, economist John Kenneth Galbraith, social activist June Callwood, and urban theorist Jane Jacobs. Here are builders such as feminist and editor Doris Anderson, and businessman and famed art collector Ken Thomson. Here are our rogues, rascals, and romantics; our service men and women; and here are those private citizens whose lives have had an undeniable public impact. Finally, Martin interweaves these elegant and eloquent biographies with the autobiography of the obit writer, offering an exclusive and intimate view of life on the dead beat."--Publisher.

Saving Sandra
Now that I’ve felt her fire, I can’t let her go—even if it burns both our lives to the ground… I’m not what anyone would call a good man. I kill people for a living. Then she came into my life. Her dark desires—the ones that simmer just beneath her cool façade—call to me in ways I can’t explain…or ignore. She is an obsession I couldn’t cure even if I wanted to. And I sure as hell don’t want to. But when her name appears on my next contract, everything changes. The hunter is about to become the protector. Not taking the hit isn’t enough. There will always be others like me, lurking in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike. Beautiful, fiery Sandra belongs to me. And I’ll do anything, face any fire, to save what’s mine. Intended for an 18+ audience.
