New Publishers Lined Up For 2008

Hockey Book Reviews.com is gearing up for incredible growth in just it's second season of existence.

I have just successfully negotiated the inclusion of three more publishers to work with:

Wiley Canada - featuring the upcoming title The Road To Hockeytown

Heritage House - featuring the upcoming title Ice Warriors

Lorimer - featuring Hamilton's Hockey Tigers


Other books to be reviewed by these publishers this summer include:

Wiley
- As the Puck Turns: A Personal Journey Through the World of Hockey by Brian Conacher

- Between the Lines: Not-So-Tall Tales From Ray "Scampy" Scapinello's Four Decades in the NHL by Ray Scapinello

- Brodeur: Beyond the Creaseby Martin Brodeur with Damien Cox

Lorimer

- Long Shot: How the Winnipeg Falcons won the first Olympic hockey gold by Eric Zweig

- Star Power: The Legend and Lore of Cyclone Taylor by Eric Zweig

- Pink Power: The First Women's Hockey World Champions by Lorna Schultz Nicholson

These three publishers join 6 other major publishing houses as partners with Hockey Book Reviews.com. These publishers are Random House, Key Porter, Raincoast, Scholastic Canada, and the Douglas & McIntyre Publishing group, which includes HB Fenn and Greystone Books.

I will continue to look to secure more publishing relationships over the course of the summer!

Interview With The Author: Kirstie McLellan Day

A couple of weeks ago I named Theo Fleury's book Playing With Fire as the Hockey Book Reviews.com 2009 Book Of The Year .

It is Theo's story, but Kirstie McLellan Day is the book's unsung hero. She understood her subject probably more than she wanted to. By doing so, she kept the emotion and the anger in the text brilliantly. I recently had the chance to chat with Kirstie McLellan Day, seen below with Theo Fleury at a recent book signing.
