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
In a series of short stories based in her native Britain, as well as in her adopted country of Canada, Margaret Thompson delights us with her pictures of ordinary life... or is it so ordinary? Sometimes brittle, sometimes gentle, she delivers telling shots at individuals and society's foibles.
Contributor Notes
Born in England, Margaret Thompson immigrated to Canada in the mid '60s. Since then, she has lived in various parts of BC and is now settled into the tiny historic village of Fort St. James, BC. She has three grown children and has spent most of her working life teaching English. Her first book, Squaring the Circle was published in 1992.
