Hi, Brian.

I wanted you to be the first to know that I've signed a contract with Plumleaf Press for my chapter book, Katie Crumble and the Mystery of the Missing Underpants. 

I began writing it in one of your courses and you did some developmental editing for me. The last thing you wrote was “this has promise.” Those words kept me going and after many rewrites, success!

Thank you!

Enjoy your summer,

Oksanna Crawley

Hi, Brian.

Need a thrilling page-turner for the cottage this summer?

I recently had my debut novel, Infect, published through Chicken House Press. It's a gritty '90s-era thriller examining the strength of loyalty and costs of secrets. 

Thank you! 

Benjamin

Infect by Benjamin Rempel

As their community unravels, estranged half-brothers, Andrew and Xavier Stone, must uncover the terrifying truth about a virus ravaging their town if they are to find their parents and survive one more night from the things that hunt them. 

Hailed as “violent, mysterious, and powerfully empathetic,” Infect explores human behaviour in a high-stress environment where nothing is sacred and survival is the highest priority!

Infect is available from Chapters/Indigo here.

 Hi, Brian.

Here are links to Dead Girls Walking: The Green Volume, the anthology that includes my ghost story. If anyone is interested in reviewing it, let me know and I can arrange a reviewer's copy!

You can find the paperback here and the e-book here.
