The Republic of Nothing (2007)

A small Canadian island declares its independence to the world and benign anarchy reigns. A god-like ocean deposits many a thing, yet it also takes away. The 1960s blaze off shore and draw the island’s inhabitants into politics, the Vietnam War, and the peace movement. Sound impossible? Not on Wh...

Breaking Point (2012)

We agreed to that. And we agreed to meet at the kayak shed down by the water at eleven o’clock at night. I had a bad feeling in my gut. I didn’t want to admit I was scared. I didn’t trust kayaks or the inlet or a million things that could go wrong out there. But what else could I do? I lay in my ...

Book

Sea of Tranquility (2003)

Oh, what a great collection of thoughts. They would fill up some big old South Shore barn, those thoughts, memories. Goes a ways back and then some. But the blackflies in the afternoon, that made her think of her husband, her first husband. David Young. It had been March when he’d been away. Two ...

Book

Battle of the Bands (2006)

We’re halfway through the first number before it feels like we’re really in sync. But then it’s as if we channel all of our mixed-up feelings into the music and things get better. The music vibrates around us like an electrical storm and we keep going. The crowd gets into it and we feed off them,...

Book

Wave Warrior (2007)

I surfed Nirvana Farm and another spot farther down the shore with Tara. It was a place called the Wreck because a steamship had run aground there in the 1930s. You could still see chunks of the hull on the shore, and part of it was beneath us where we surfed in the clear dark water. The waves we...

Gone Bad (2011)

I didn’t show up for practice on Saturday. I sat in my room and listened to music and watched movies on the Internet. My mother kept asking me to do stuff around the house, but I told her to get lost.     “If you don’t want to do what your mother tells you,” my dad confided, “...

Book

Scam (2016)

That girl had stolen my wallet when she hugged me. What a totally rotten thing to do. I should have known there was something wrong, really wrong, with the way she came on to me. I felt anger welling up inside.     I sat down on a low wall to try to sort out all the weird feel...

Book

Running the Risk (2009)

No one expected too much of me. I was an only child, and my parents were pretty overprotective. When I rode a bike, I wore a helmet. When I skateboarded—not for long—I had the helmet, plus the pads for knees and elbows. My parents pretty much drove me anywhere I needed to go. School was easy and ...

Smoke and Mirrors (2004)

Seventeen years old. Tanya met me at my locker and held a piece of mistletoe over my head. “It’s not Christmas,” I said. “The Druids didn’t have to wait for Christmas.” She kissed me hard on the lips in front of everyone. And she slid her tongue into my mouth. It was the Druids who had brought us...

Jeremy Stone (2014)

Depressed.     She was reading a book called A Woman’s Guide to Mental Health.     Whoever wrote this book doesn’t understand the first thing about women, she said.     Who wrote it?     A man, she said.   &...

Nova Scotia

Along with the Mi’kmaq, and all the early European settlers who had stayed on (or whose children had been able to survive here), there had been the recent immigration of Ulstermen, Yorkshiremen, Scottish Highlanders and an assortment of destitute and persecuted Roman Catholics. Nonetheless, nearl...

Book

Rat (2012)

Maybe do the same thing to them that they were doing to me and Emily’s friends. I kept thinking maybe Emily would be next. If so, I’d slam those suckers somehow. As I walked to school the next morning, I called Emily and told her what I was thinking. “Colin, it’s so not you,” she said. “It’s not ...

Book

Crash (2013)

I had barely passed a math test and squeaked through one in biology. But I was doing the work and keeping my head down. At home, Mackenzie and I were eating whatever we could find in the freezer, and I was running low on dog food. The phone rang quite a few times, and I knew it was Mom because Ni...

Book

Skate Freak (2008)

If it’s not worth doing, do it anyway. That’s my motto. It keeps me going. Leaving Willis Harbor knocked the wind out of me. Moving to the city was not my idea. I liked my old hometown by the sea. I had lots of time to myself. I had the sea. I had my skateboard. I was the only skate-boarder in th...

Shoulder the Sky (2002)

I told Dave. “The poet Muriel Ruckeyser said the universe is made up of stories, not atoms.” “I like that. Jesus, Martin, you always floor me with something new.” He tried to sound cheerful but I could tell something was actually bothering him today. “Dave, I’m not normal,” I blurted out. “There ...

Dumb Luck (2014)

It made me feel that I wasn’t as stupid as I thought I was. The trick was simple. I wanted to pass so I studied. I studied hard, despite all the other upheaval and distractions in my life. I wanted it that bad. Everything in my life had changed. I had changed. I would own my own house and I’d hav...

Reaction (2010)

As I drifted off toward math class, I felt warm and fuzzy. Happy. I’d never felt like this before, and I was sure my gut reaction was right. Everything was going to be okay. Ashley and I would see this through. After school, I tried to convince her to go back to the clinic with me. I wanted to si...

Hell's Hotel (2010)

She was sure that her friend had changed somehow, changed in some irreversible way, allowed Rob to mould her into some other person that Tara didn’t even like. So that was the final break and she had made it. She could leave everything behind.     She felt good about it. She f...

Deconstructing Dylan

As I began to regain my bearings ever so slightly, a mass of questions began to swarm in my head. If I was the product of my brother’s DNA, wasn’t there a good chance that I too would die from whatever form of cancer had struck him down? But that didn’t scare me as much as the overwhelming confus...

Refuge Cove (2002)

Spray splashed over the sides. Harold threw me a jacket. The wind was picking up steadily now as we got further from shore. The waves grew bigger and bigger, some as high as seven and eight feet. Harold turned west, away from the wind. The boat slid smoothly down the face of a wave. This old fish...
