Some more ideas if you are still looking for a good Hidden Treasure Book — and a few prizes, so be sure to read to the VERY end of this post.
Jimmy Coates: Killer by Joe Craig (HarperCollins / HarperTrophy) [alternate title is Jimmy Coates: Assassin?] nominated by the local mystery bookstore in Waterloo, The Mysterious Affair at Waterloo. If you’re in town, go check ’em out.
And nominated by Harper Collins in Canada:
Jon Evans Invisible Armies
Janice Kulyk Keefer The Ladies Lending Library
Claire Cameron
The Line Painter
Barbara Gowdy Helpless
Jacqueline Baker The Horseman’s Graves
And now for some prizes:
HarperCollins Canada is offering a prize pack to one Canadian winner. Yep, you gotta be in Canada to discover the goodies. And that doesn’t mean visiting, either.
And Nadine Dajani sent a copy of her title Fashionably Late.
You’ll notice that this last prize is the only one linking you to Powell’s. That’s intentional. Also, anything you get by using my Powell’s links will go toward the purchase — not of books for myself! — but for more prizes for you guys. Just thought I’d make that clear.
Happy reading, everyone!
And speaking of reading, those of you with access to the Niagara Area, The Tour Manager and I will be there on Thursday. Anyone who’d like to meet me/him/us can meet us around 3PM in The Book Depot. $29.95 fills a box.
I know, I know. Like I need more books. Hush. I’m hunting for Hidden Treasures!

Finally…some advantage to being Canadian!BR/BR/If not for you, I’d be much poorer in a literary sense. Thanks for ensuring we navigate the world of words with our eyes open.

Yep, Carmi, I know my groupies. Love each and every one of you, too.BR/BR/And getting you guys to explore new authors is part of my life quest! There’s so much good stuff out there and so many authors who need the help getting noticed. I figure I can be part of the problem that I perceive publishing has become, or I can be part of the solution.BR/BR/I’m aiming for solution. Let’s get more authors noticed. One day soon, I’ll be scrambling for notice, myself.

For once, I’m really sorry NOT to be visiting the out-laws. I’d love to get a chance to see you on your journey to the Falls – unfortunately, I’m about 30 hours drive west…
