JEFFREY GROBERMAN / Grobetrotting Strikes Again!
Following in the footsteps of last year’s Grobetrotting: Travel the World Laugh by Laugh, the sequel Grobetrotting Strikes Again! continues with more funny stories about travel attitude, focusing on how one faces the cringe-worthy, unpredictable and sometimes frightening aspects of travel. Jeff’s narrative moves the stories forward with edgy wit and just the right amount of self-deprecating humour.

JEFF GROBERMAN is a writer and producer who has entertained legions of radio and TV audiences over a distinguished-yet-hilarious career. Jeff produced shows for CBC, PBS, CTV, Global and Knowledge Network and was inducted into the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame.

STEVEN MAYOFF / The Island Gospel According to Samson Grief
Samson Grief, a reclusive painter from Prince Edward Island, is haunted by three red-haired figments of his imagination in the form of Judas Iscariot, Fagin, and Shylock. They claim to be messengers of a genderless deity who has decreed PEI the new Promised Land, and also wants Samson to build the Island’s first synagogue. Scared, confused, and doubting his sanity, Samson eventually accepts the challenge. This is a darkly humorous, utterly original and wildly entertaining novel.

STEVEN MAYOFF’s fiction and poetry have appeared in literary journals across Canada and the U.S. He is the author of the story collection Fatted Calf Blues, the novel Our Lady of Steerage, and two books of poetry. Originally from Montreal, Steven lives in PEI.
