Next time I go driving through Canada, and I drop in on a Chapters, I'll be able to find some damn good reading material!
This just in from MacAdam/Cage Director of Publicity, Julie Burton:
February 27, 2006. MacAdam/Cage Publishing announced today a strategic relationship with Random House of Canada, in which Random House of Canada will become the third party Canadian distributor for MacAdam/Cage’s hardcover list. Beginning in April 2006, Random House of Canada will take responsibility for sales, distribution, and marketing on MacAdam/Cage’s frontlist titles. In addition, Doubleday Canada will publish paperback editions of MacAdam/Cage’s previously published hardcovers on the Anchor Canada list.
MacAdam/Cage is well known in the publishing community for their quality fiction and nonfiction titles, including Audrey Niffenegger’s The Time Traveler’s Wife, Jane Urquhart’s A Map of Glass, Craig Clevenger’s The Contortionist’s Handbook, and starting this fall, David Adams Richards’ Friends of Meager Fortune.
Maya Mavjee, Publisher of Doubleday and Anchor Canada, says, “This is a unique way to build the Anchor Canada backlist and we look forward to working with the strong team at MacAdam/Cage to showcase their authors alongside our stable of great authors including David Adams Richards, Bill Bryson, Michael Crummey, Camilla Gibb, Mark Haddon and Michael Redhill.”
Says Scott Allen, President of MacAdam/Cage Publishing, “We’re all very excited about this partnership. When you look at the bestseller lists in Canada it's clear they have an appetite for the kind of quality fiction and nonfiction that we publish. We’re committed to bringing Canadian authors such as Jane Urquhart and David Adams Richards to the attention of American readers, and we look forward to working with Random House of Canada to introduce similarly talented American authors to Canadian readers.”
“Third party distribution is a burgeoning area of growth for Random House of Canada," noted Brad Martin, President and Chief Operating Officer for Random House of Canada. "MacAdam/Cage has a unique and well-respected list in the U.S. and we are looking forward to building its profile and readership in Canada."
Very cool about MacAdam/CAge getting distribution into Canada. M/C is an excellent press! They also publish the series Stumbling and Raging edited by Stephen Elliott (a great collection of politically charged stories) with the latest edition containing works by EWNs own Stefan Kiesbye and Jeff Parker.

I came across your site and thought I'd introduce myself. I am a Canadian mystery author, with 3 published novels that I think you would enjoy.
Whale Song is an emotional mystery about a young girl who moves to Vancouver Island and loses her memory after a traumatic event. A screenplay has just been completed at the request of a leading film producer. Whale Song is best read with a box of Kleenex close by!
Divine Intervention is a suspense thriller that takes you across BC as a group of psychic investigators search for a serial arsonist. This novel earned me the nickname of "the Canadian J.D. Robb" from my fans.
The River is my latest thriller, full of action and suspense. Take the ride of your life as Del Hawthorne heads north to the mysterious and deadly Nahanni River, in search of a father she had thought was dead. What she finds instead may hold the key to humanity's survival--or its destruction.
I really hope you'll check out my novels. Whale Song and The River have been read many times in book clubs. You can read my bio at my site and read my reviews, excerpts and more. I hope you stop by and sign my guestbook.
Happy reading and I would be honored if you chose one of my books. They are available at Amazon.ca, Amazon.com, Barnesand noble.com, Trafford.com and more.
