In Sept 2004, the pack of renowned Canadian Wildlife artist, Justine Lefeauvre was found, near Ogre Peak. She'd been reported missing months prior. After a FOIA was requested, her highly redacted sketchbook was released. Most of the images were mundane though others prompted questions. #bookpromo

Wrapping up a book on my lunch break today means I gave myself an awesome high-five and danced a little jig. #booksta #theend

Stred Reviews: 'Skinners' by Craig Wesley Wall was such a blast! A sci-fi/horror novella that throws the reader into the deep end from page one, this one's all about skin-sucking space worms & seeing who'll survive! Can't wait for book two! stevestredauthor.ca/2026/01/23/s...

And the last of the (current!) English hardcovers of Andrew's books is this GLORIOUS release! 'Exiles' as Mason Coile. I love this cover so much & it works perfectly to capture the chaos & claustrophobia found within the pages. Now, we wait for 'Driven.'

Stred Reviews: 'Split Scream 8: Cursed Places' by @sonorataylor.bsky.social & Matthew Pritt features two novellas that were a ton of fun! On one hand, we get a maddening mansion. On the other, a world tettering on the edge of balance. Both were fantastic! stevestredauthor.ca/2026/01/21/s...

Stred Reviews: Joseph Mulak's 'Where the Wicked Lurk' is a fast-paced, stress-packed novella that asks the reader the age-old question - is it madness or supernatural? This was a blast! stevestredauthor.ca/2026/01/21/s...

Next up in the English hardcover editions of Andrew's books is the stunning Large Print version of 'William.' I absolutely love this cover. It completely sums up the book & invites readers to enter... if they dare!

In September 2004, a local hiking near Ogre Peak, close to Golden, BC found the missing back pack of renowned Canadian Wildlife artist Justine Lefeauvre... #bookpromo #mastodon #kaiju #march15

Next up in the English hardcovers, we have the NA & the UK editions of 'William,' Andrew's first release as Mason Coile. I personally prefer the NA version, without the tag line at the top, but either way, the image chosen for the cover is stunning & matches the dread within.

An island has been 'scrubbed' on maps. Scientists who previously went to Jan Mayen Island - located roughly 600km northeast of Iceland - to research migratory birds have sounded the alarm over clearances being pulled.

17 years after Sandra Barton disappeared near Golden, BC, her husband's plane crashed in the same area, prompting her son, Tyler, to hike into the area in search of him. The June 17th, 2007 Golden Star reported that the search was called off with no leads. The area remains off-limits to locals.

Next up in the English hardcovers of Andrew's books is the stunning 'The Residence.' This book is dark, haunting & packed full of grief & the cover design encapsulates that perfectly!

In 1990, days after the Golden Star newspaper reported on the odd disappearance of Sandra Barton, the CBC reported...

In late 2003, a video purported to be taken near Ogre Peak, close to Golden BC, Canada was leaked to the Sun, showing what appeared to be an extinct mastodon crossing a river...

On June 3rd, 1990, reports out of Golden, BC began to surface of a young mother - Sandra Barton - disappearing on a hike. She was hiking with her husband & infant son, Tyler, at the time. A search was called off after the area was closed to all by the government. #mastodon #march15 #rockymountains

Next in the English hardcover editions releases is the fantastic Large Print version of 'The Only Child.' I love how it seems to connect with the standard hardcover release with a building that could almost be the exact one on that cover.

We'll be returning to these mountains soon, but until then, I'd highly recommend you visit the Rockies & learn what happens if you follow the beeping sound that seems to hypnotize every creature. Cover art by François Vaillancourt Order it from your local book shop or snag it at mybook.to/mastodon

Next up as we work through Andrew's English hardcover editions is the stunning 'The Only Child.' I love this novel & the image they used is perfectly evocative. And to this day, you can't convince me otherwise that's not a silhouette of Andrew on the cover 😂

Stred Reviews: Chris Sorensen returns with the very fun 'The Haunting of Sorrow's Leap.' In this one, we're reunited with Ellen Marx as her, & a trio of other 'gifted' individuals, head to a haunted mansion. Def one for fans of ghost stories! stevestredauthor.ca/2026/01/05/s...

Stred Reviews: 'Dragon Teeth' by Michael Crichton was an absolute blast! Fast-paced, action-packed & filled-to-the-brim with intensity, this was a historical fiction novel that feels more non-fiction than anything! stevestredauthor.ca/2025/12/28/s...
