Stones Cast
for Life
A new career. A new beginning. A small Newfoundland outport, a century ago — where a schoolteacher's reputation is her entire livelihood, and fortune turns as fast as the North Atlantic weather.
Stone Pond Press is the print publishing imprint of Punk Science Studios Inc. As a creative house we believe strongly in furthering regional voices and bringing to light contemporary perspectives and stories about life in Canada, and Atlantic Canada in particular.
We publish cross-genre fiction and non-fiction when it is beautifully written and either informs or entertains — inspired by Canadian perspectives.
Early praise“His compassion, honesty and remarkable story telling captures the resilience of the human spirit in a way that touches your heart long after the final page.”
Gordon N. Wright
Born in St. John's, Newfoundland. Stones Cast for Life grew from years of research into the lives of the people who settled the Newfoundland coast, and from a chance encounter with his own family history at The Rooms. This is his first novel.
