Women of Pender Harbour: Their Voices, Their History, by Dorothy Faulkner, Elaine Park, and Cathy Jenks, with the assistance of many local volunteers. Foreword by Edith Iglauer Daly; afterword by Theresa Kishkan
Women of Pender Harbour preserves the memories of more than 40 early women settlers of the Pender Harbour, Canada, area. Together, Faulkner, Park, and Jenks have woven the women's voices into a tapestry of remembrance while telling the story of Pender Harbour's development from an isolated settlement of logging and fishing families into a vibrant modern-day community. It is a story that reflects the history of many of BC's coastal villages.
The book is a project of the Pender Harbour Living Heritage Society, a voluntary nonprofit group dedicated to preserving the history of the Pender Harbour area and protecting its historic sites and artifacts.
"An important slice of British Columbia history."--Jean Barman, Professor Emeritus of Educational History at the University of British Columbia

Book trailers
The contemporary book business has undergone revolutionary changes—the rise of mega-stores, online bookselling, print-on-demand publishing, and ebooks—to name some examples. Yet, until recently, book marketing methods remained mostly unchanged. But the Internet and accessible image- and video-making technology promoted innovation, and the book trailer came into being.
Many trailer producers are like myself—seasoned authors who are turning their creativity to book-related visual forms. The book trailer is a revolutionary, entertaining, and cost-effective replacement for all those tiring, expensive, and—in terms of sales—often futile book signings and tours. I hope many emerging authors will take advantage of the new book trailer service at Helping You Get Published. Not only is a trailer a compelling way to market your published book, but it can also bring an added "get-noticed" dimension to your book proposal.
A trailer for Faded Love, stories by Robert N. Friedland, is now available for viewing. Click here...
