Notorious Character by Paul Grant

I spent more than thirty years as a reporter and producer for CBC Radio.  Thousands 

of people told me their stories of tragedy or triumph or just plain getting by, and those

stories shaped me as a writer who believes that characters drive the plot.   In my new 

BWL novel Notorious, journalist Eleanor Bell is driven to stability and order because of how she grew up:  Her own childhood had been a chaotic series of moves from house to rented house as her parents tried to find work.  Far from celebrating their Cree heritage, her father tried to pass as white because, he said, nobody hired ‘lazy Indians’.  Her mother and grandmother tried to share some cultural touchstones, but Eleanor was too busy trying to survive in high school and university to pay much attention.

Bell brings sense to her world by writing. Bell’s Blog is subscribed to by dozens of media outlets because she brings clarity and solid research to political, social, and business stories. When the drug trade threatens to take over Moose Jaw, she puts her life at risk to follow the money behind the meth, enlisting help from her old pal, builder Jamie Staryk.

Moose Jaw has a starring role in Notorious.  The city’s wide streets, gracious architecture, and easy-going pace are the perfect backdrop for a mystery.  I hope you enjoy the story.
