      By Reynolds, John (John Lawrence)
       c2012., General, HarperCollins Canada Call No: MYS Fic Rey   Edition: 1st ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Josie Marshall deals with the death of her detective husband, Gabe, found naked outside their home on the beach with a bullet in his brain. Everyone calls it suicide. Josie knows it isn't . . . but fears it could be. After all, she had provided Gabe with a motive. The clues are so strong that even Josie begins to believe Gabe shot himself. But when a horrific slaying occurs literally at her feet, she knows Gabe was murdered, and her determination to prove it carries her toward dark corners of the beach strip and exposes the darker sides of its residents. Fending off her fears with humour and outrage, she encounters a drug-crazed drifter, an organized crime boss with romance on his mind, a woman with a murderous past and a pervert who's been frequenting her garden shed. When a chance remark leads Josie to the astonishing truth of Gabe's death, her story takes a shocking turn that no one could have seen coming.

      By Pottier, Anna
       2015., Adult, Dundurn Press Call No: Bio L429P    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Irving Layton's last wife shares the story of her life with the acclaimed poet. While a student at Dalhousie University, Anna Pottier attended a poetry reading featuring Irving Layton. Walking out of the auditorium that night, she knew two things: she wanted more than ever to be a writer, and she wanted to be with Layton. At the age of twenty-three she became Layton's fifth and final wife; she was forty-eight years his junior. She shared the entirety of his world and was intimately involved in the writing and publication of such books as The Gucci Bag, Fortunate Exile, and Waiting for the Messiah. She accompanied Layton on his last major overseas reading tour, broke bread with Pierre Trudeau and Leonard Cohen, met other luminaries, and watched Layton write his very last poem. But slowly, Layton was changing. In 1992, a doctor put names to these changes: Parkinson's disease and early-stage Alzheimer's. Life carried on, but once-easy things grew more difficult, and then the day came in 1995, after nearly fourteen years, when Pottier had nothing left to give. Canadian poet Irving Layton (1912<U+2013>2006) was born in Romania to Jewish parents. His family moved to Montreal in 1913. Anna Pottier is a Nova Scotian Acadian writer and painter"--Provided by publisher.

      By Bernstein, Harriet
       2019., Inanna Publications and Education Inc. Call No: Bio B531i    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Much has been written by others about the relationship Irving Layton and Harriet Bernstein shared, and most of it is inaccurate. This book tells the true story, and in so doing provides a look into the CanLit scene between 1974-1981. Students and admirers of Layton’s work will discover the genesis of many poems; other readers will find a unique and powerful love story, one that also probes issues of feminism, creativity, and self-creation." --Provided by publisher.

      By McGoogan, Kenneth, 1947-
       2005., HarperCollins Canada Call No: Bio F832m    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: With Lady Franklin's Revenge, bestselling author Ken McGoogan (Fatal Passage, Ancient Mariner) delivers another page turning biography that brings a remarkable historical figure vividly to life.Denied a role in Victorian England's male-dominated society, Jane Franklin(1791-1875) took her revenge by seizing control of that most masculine of pursuits, Arctic exploration, and shaping its history to her own ends. Arguably the greatest woman traveller of the 19th century, Lady Franklin rode a donkey into Nazareth, sailed a rat-infested boat up the Nile,climbed mountains in Africa and the Holy Land, and, wearing petticoats, beat her way through the Tasmanian bush. When Sir John Franklin, her husband, disappeared into the Arctic in 1845, she orchestrated an unprecedented 12-year search, contributing more to the discovery of the North than any celebrated explorer. Having failed to rescue the hapless Franklin, she turned failure into triumph by creating a legend. Richly detailed, panoramic in scope, this biography of the unforgettable Jane Franklin is destined to become a classic.
