The Book of LukeBuy $18.95

As the friction between St. John`s poet environmentalist, Luke Delaney and ACOM oil executive Nathan Brophy escalates, Angéline LeBlanc, a Cajun beauty with a curious past kindles one fire while dousing another. Between hurricanes, nor'easters and revolving doors, the cast begins unraveling and all seems lost. But in the story`s wild waterways, the unlikely hero remains buoyant, bobbing along, hoping to save the City of Dreams from the gravity of deception and greed. © 2010

A High of Zero, Poetry to the Twelve Months is the first published work by Herbert F. Hopkins. The original book with hand-carved covers, illuminated by B.W. Chubbs and bound by Tara Bryan was purchased by the National Library and now resides in the National Book Preservation Centre in Gatineau, Quebec. Subsequently, one hundred and fifty leather bound copies were produced and sold out. That was eight years ago. As a celebration of his sixtieth birthday, the author produced an additional sixty books. They too sold out. Words and Wood is now offering an offset printed edition of "A High of Zero." ©2007
