About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."

Description
With a mother's touch, a lover's touch and the sure hand of an undertaker, Pam Calabrese MacLean compels the reader to take a dangerous look behind every façade, even though we will long to look away. Her women are fierce with their men, protective of their children and abrupt with the world. She observes the minutiae of life with an eye of appreciation, and looks at the grandeur with suspicion.
Contributor Notes
Pam Calabrese MacLean lives in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, where she works in the Library of St. Francis Xavier University. She is a mother, a grandmother, a poet and a playwright. Her first book of poetry, Twenty-four Names for Mother, was published in 2006 by The Paper Journey Press (Wake Forest, NC). Her flash fiction has appeared in two US anthologies: Women Behaving Badly, 2004, and Blink, 2006.
