    About this ebook

    Winner of the 2021 Book of the Year (Faces of Ottawa Awards)

     

    In this time of the Covid-19 pandemic, fear, isolation, mental illness and hardship will be a challenge many will face in silence.

    100% of this ebook's proceeds will directly aid Ottawa's needy and be donated to Shadow Ottawa until the launch of it's print edition (September 30th, 2020),

    For more information, you can find them at www.shadowottawa@gmail.com.

     

    Fourteen authors, fifteen short stories, one poem, local publisher (and Winner of the 2020 Faces of Ottawa, Favourite Publisher), local editor, and our very own Codi Jeffreys penning its foreword!

     

    All with underlying themes of parallel universes or alternative realities.

    Ottawa, are you ready to see what incredible literary richness this awesome city has to offer?!

     

    Originally planned to be released late spring/early summer, unfortunately due to the Covid-19 outbreak, its print edition must be delayed (but don't you fret! It is most definitely still in the works!)

    But for the short term, an ebook will be made available! (What better time to catch up on your reading now that we're all stuck in our homes!)
