<div>Letters in the mail from his long-dead brother send Leo Nolan on a time-bending journey in this &ldquo;deceptive novel . . . filled with extraordinary events&rdquo; (The New York Times). Things have to be settled, or they never go away. Only weeks before she dies in March, 1984, Leo Nolan&rsquo;s mother shows her son a rose she says was just given to her by her brother, Jack, who disappeared 50 years earlier. After her death, letters from Jack begin to arrive at the family home. They are postmarked 1934. The final one is from Ashland, Kentucky. Leo heads to Ashland, to track down the source of the letters&hellip;. And to find out why they are arriving now, after 50 years. Time shifts. Time runs underground, then surfaces. It is 1934, and Leo experiences the Great Depression and the ghosts of the past as no one has in 50 years, in Ashland, where dreams die and are born again. &ldquo;A love story, time travel epic, ghost story, labor history, road novel and a bank heist, all with the added touch of Steinbeckian metaphysics. For me it was the surprise of the year, a rich evocation of 1934 small-town Kentucky that winds up completely unpredictable.&rdquo; &ndash;The Edmonton Journal, &ldquo;Top Fiction Pick of the Year&rdquo; &ldquo;Green has devised a truly mysterious mystery, he writes with a real and rare sympathy for his characters.&rdquo; &ndash;The Atlanta Constitution &ldquo;A jewel of a novel&rdquo; &ndash;Booklist WORLD FANTASY AWARD FINALIST </div>

Shadow of Ashland

<div>&ldquo;A MODERN GHOST STORY&rdquo; &ndash;The Globe and Mail &ldquo;There&rsquo;s a line drawn across your life. You cross the line forever.&rdquo; When Leo Nolan&rsquo;s father dies in 1995, his stepson, Adam, now twenty-one, finally asks the question that he has never asked, the question he could never ask. He asks it simply. &ldquo;Is my father alive?&rdquo; ST. PATRICK&#39;S BED, the sequel to the highly acclaimed, World Fantasy Award finalists SHADOW OF ASHLAND and A WITNESS TO LIFE, revisits Leo&rsquo;s family, eleven years after the momentous visit to Ashland, Kentucky. Thus begins this new odyssey to Dayton, Ohio, to the past, accompanied by family ghosts and the hard truths of the present. Leo&rsquo;s quest is both simple and complex: the need in the human heart for redemption, resolution and homecoming. &ldquo;If Turgenev hadn&rsquo;t already nabbed it, ST. PATRICK&#39;S BED could have been entitled Fathers and Sons, with Leo Nolan straddling both roles. The novel morphs into a road book, taking him from Toronto to Dayton, Ohio, and Ireland. Compact, quietly thoughtful, emotionally compelling&hellip;.Green&rsquo;s skill as a fantasist shines. A special writer.&rdquo; &ndash;The Globe and Mail &quot;The book is genuine.&quot; --Dayton Daily News &quot;The ending of this book was like a large blast of fireworks.&quot; --The Danforth Review &quot;Green&rsquo;s novels tell big stories in his characters&rsquo; lives, and they become important to us as readers. Deeply satisfying...will appeal to a wide readership, one I hope he achieves, one he deserves to achieve.&quot; &ndash;Books To Look For (Charles de Lint, Fantasy &amp; Science Fiction) &quot;ST. PATRICK&#39;S BED is a gem.&quot; --sfsite.com </div>

St. Patrick's Bed

<div>&ldquo;A beautiful novel&rdquo; of life and death, past and present, and the thin lines that lie between them (The Toronto Star). On a streetcar, on Christmas Day, 1950, clutching the chrome rail in front of him, Martin Radey looks at the woman seated beside him, a stranger, and utters his last words: &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t breathe.&rdquo; Like millions, billions before him, it is his turn to die. But death is not what he expected. The journey has only begun. From 1880 to 1950, time happens to the world around him, not to memory, because memory, he discovers, is beyond time, traveling forward with him, shaping the earth, the sky, the heart. The prequel to the widely celebrated Shadow of Ashland, A Witness to Life &ldquo;is an emotionally charged experience that will not soon be forgotten.&rdquo; (Dallas Morning News)</div>

A Witness to Life

<div>A nineteenth-century Irish convict is jolted forward in time while a man from the future takes his place, in this novel by a World Fantasy Award finalist. Fletcher Christian IV, a descendant of the original Bounty mutineer living in the year 2072, is lost in time. His participation in mystic time-travel rituals has wreaked havoc on the space-time continuum, sending a nineteenth-century prisoner forward to Pitcairn Island in 1972 while depositing Christian in his place. As Bran Michael Dalton&mdash;the Irish convict he replaced&mdash;contends with an incomprehensible future, Christian finds himself trapped in a hellhole of disease, abuse, and unimaginable brutality. All thoughts of repairing a rift in history must be pushed aside for the greater challenge of survival at any cost. From &ldquo;a writer in the tradition of Ray Bradbury and Theodore Sturgeon&rdquo; (The Edmonton Journal), Sailing Time&rsquo;s Ocean is &ldquo;a snappy time-travelling nuclear-bomb thriller featuring Greenpeace, Inca magic and French bomb-testing&rdquo; (The Globe and Mail).</div>

Sailing Time's Ocean

<div>Ten ingenious tales of speculative fiction from a World Fantasy Award finalist: &ldquo;Masterful . . . Extraordinary . . . A great talent&rdquo; (San Francisco Chronicle). The ten stories collected in The Woman Who Is the Midnight Wind take us to places that are awesomely new yet achingly familiar. Terence M. Green skillfully examines the thorny bonds of family in the tale of one man&rsquo;s strange journey into the past to find a vanished uncle, as well as in the story of a son who is legally mandated to unearth a murderer by communicating with his dead father. The intricate workings of memory and the human heart are explored in the account of a space traveler&rsquo;s decision to end his life after one final resurrection, and in the unforgettable title story in which a lonely hospital worker on a colonized planet 420 light years from Earth becomes entranced by a newborn alien-human hybrid child. Speculative fiction becomes great literature in the hands of Green, a World Fantasy Award finalist who was proclaimed &ldquo;one of Canada&rsquo;s finest writers&rdquo; by science fiction and fantasy luminary Charles de Lint. The Woman Who Is the Midnight Wind pushes the boundaries of a genre already renowned for its farsighted invention and establishes Green&rsquo;s as a science fiction humanist on par with the immortal Ray Bradbury.</div>

The Woman Who Is the Midnight Wind

<div>This family saga that travels through time&mdash;from modern Toronto to Depression-era Kentucky&mdash;and explores how the ghosts of the past shape our history.

For the family that populates these three novels, the secrets forgotten with the passing of years become suddenly accessible, as journeys through time unite loved ones across the decades. Shadow of Ashland: Leo Nolan&rsquo;s mother shows him a rose just before she dies&mdash;and claims it was given to her by her brother, who disappeared fifty years earlier. Leo is sure it&rsquo;s the delirium talking, the rambling of a sick and elderly woman. But after her death, letters from the same long-lost brother begin to arrive at the family home, postmarked 1934&mdash;plunging Leo into a journey that will take him all the way from Canada to Ashland, Kentucky, where he will walk through a window that leads to another time and world. A Witness to Life: This prequel focusing on Leo&rsquo;s maternal grandfather, Martin Radey, and the chronology of his life &ldquo;is an emotionally charged experience that will not be soon forgotten&rdquo; (Dallas Morning News). St. Patrick&rsquo;s Bed: In the final chapter to the Ashland Trilogy, a son of the next generation asks questions about his biological father and sets off along with Leo on a quest for his heritage and history. A highly acclaimed epic from &ldquo;a special writer,&rdquo; The Ashland Trilogy blends the fantastical and the real in a tale that will resonate with anyone who has yearned to know more about the generations who came before (The Globe and Mail).</div>
