Working the Dead Beat
Longlisted for the Charles Taylor Prize and selected as a Globe and Mail Top 100 Book and an iTunes Store Best Book 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. Beautifully written, compelling, and vivid, Working the Dead Beat is a tribute to those individuals who, each on their own and as a collective, tell the story of our country, and to the life of the obit writer who chronicles their extraordinary lives.

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.

Meharry Medical College
Originally founded in 1876 as a department of Central Tennessee College, Meharry Medical College was granted a separate charter of incorporation in 1915. The college was named to honor five Irish brothers, Samuel, Hugh, Alexander, Jesse, and David Meharry. They gave more than $30,000 in cash and real estate to fund an institution that would educate medical professionals to serve the black community. By the mid-20th century, Meharry Medical College graduated approximately half the black doctors in the United States. The evolution of Meharry Medical College is a compelling story that occurs during succeeding eras. In many ways, its evolution reflects the changing tides of race relations in America. Nearly 150 years later, Meharry continues to be a significant medical institution that holds true to its motto: Dedicated to the worship of God through service to man.

Personality, Inc.
" At Personality, Inc., the world is divided into five distinct Personalities. And the corporation is out to make you one of them! In the tradition of Ray Bradbury and George Orwell, Jill Stephenson delivers a vision of a world in which surface appearances become the totality of every person who walks through the doors of Personality, Inc. As Nora Pherson sets out to recreate the world in her own image of a well-run, super-organized society, her top instructor, Martin Goldsmith, begins to second-guess the quest. Under normal circumstances, Martins soul-searching would not be earth-shattering. In the realm of the corporation, however, his doubts threaten to destroy an empire. Funny, sharp and frighteningly familiar, Personality, Inc. is a page-turning portrait of a country lost in its appetites and pursuing the trivial with reckless abandon.
