Nobody Waved Goodbye; A Shipwreck Summer in Canada's North

I have many interests but four passions: my family, friends, honourable public service (especially among politicians), and my writing. (well, books too). On a positive note, SATURDAY IS INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE DAY. So today I stocked up Audreys Books Ltd. with both A Métis Man's Dream and Blue Sky, Red Canoe! I hope you support your local independent book stores.

Well, I am pretty excited about my new manuscript, Nobody Waved Goodbye; A Shipwreck Summer in Canada's North.   

I am out looking for a publisher.

Here is some information about the story:

About the Book 
In the hectic summer shipping season of 1956, fierce, unpredictable storms took two northern tugboats to the bottom, one on Lake Athabasca and the other on Great Slave Lake.

Never before, in seventy-five years of commercial Mackenzie River shipping had a northern vessel taken its crew to the bottom. Yet, in 1956, not one but two ships were lost in the depths of vast northern inland seas.

It was a time of sudden death, close-call rescues, and unanswered questions. Even now, seventy years later, mysteries  remain; what happened to the MV  Clearwater?   What became of her crew?  Where lay the remains of the MV Sandy Jane? Why have they never been located?

Huge lakes hidden in the wilderness of northern Canada reveal their secrets only haltingly.

That summer, teenage boys and young men ventured north, taking a crack at real life on the tugs. Some never returned. Others instinctively took to northern waters for extended careers, serving one of the largest, most important and least known maritime transport systems in the country.

Seven decades of memories and newly uncovered evidence tell the stories of the summer when northern and nautical history was made, the summer Nobody Waved Goodbye.
