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."
Meet Finnigan Heller, drifter: reclusive, abrasive, and clairvoyant. He's also been struck by lightning more times than you've had hot dinners. It happens in every town he passes through. But is he following the weather or is the weather following him? Heller's bizarre "gift" has him on the run from a scientist, a Canadian Intelligence agent, and an Englishman with a taste for violence. 'Struck' is a story about thunderstorms, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, the nature of luck, andthe fate of one very attractive nose.
" 'Struck', a brisk and brain-tweaking debut from Calgary writer Geoffrey Bromhead, graduates lightning from flash-and-boom backdrop to driving force of theme and plot." - The Globe & Mail
