Reviews & Interviews

Globe and Mail

"The novel can put a glimmer of wry smile on your face for pages, then abruptly raise sorrow from the simplest of circumstances."

A Writer's Half-Life

"This beautiful, disturbing book is one of the most honest tales of contemporary Newfoundland I’ve come across. Part-Trailer Park Boys and part-Thelma and Louise, it’s an account of teenagers Bride Marsh and Wanda Stuckless’s attempt to leave outport Newfoundland for life in Toronto, a challenge much bigger than it sounds."

The Clarenville Packet

An interview I did with the local paper in Clarenville, Newfoundland.

CBC Interview

"Beverly Stone is a woman of contrasts. She was born on Random Island but now lives in Toronto. She works as a corporate lawyer on Bay Street...but has written a saucy first novel that may give Joel T. Hynes a run for his money."

Open Book Toronto

A short interview I did with Open Book, an organization that works in support of Ontario's independent, Canadian-owned publishers.
