Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lily: A Rhapsody in Red, second book in the King Years trilogy, is a dazzling comic epic of politics, sex and scandal during the 1920s and '30s. Our guide on the journey is the indomitable Lily Coolican, the former secret bride of Mackenzie King who follows her ne'er-do-well twin brother Jack to the raw mining country of northern Ontario. Jack gets rich; Lily gets Communism. In Ottawa Lily's Mum finds her true calling as the psychic architect of Mackenzie King's political triumphs. King, now leader of the Liberal Party, turns his skills in scheming and spiritualism to running the country. While his ethical elasticity traps him in a web of Grit patronage and corruption, Lily marches towards the dialectical light in service of the byzantine politics of the Communist Party. Lily is at once a remarkable political meditation and an uninhibited comedy that will outrage and delight, and change forever how Canadians think about the turbulent Twenties and Thirties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lily Coolican, the flamboyant heroine of Willie: A Romance and Lily: A Rhapsody in Red, is now in her eighties and feistier than ever: while Ronald Reagan is speaking on Parliament Hill, she lobs an egg at the President. Lily's defiant impulse triggers an extraordinary and sinister chain of events tretching back to 1945 and the race for the Bomb. Befriended by TV journalist Jennie Hutchinson, Lily helps search for the truth about Jennie's father, a U.S. nuclear scientist drowned under suspicious circumstances. The trail of evidence leads through the tangled web of CIA espionage, and through Lily's past loves with Mackenzie King and Vladimir Shuvakin, a dashing Russian diplomat in wartime Ottawa. And at the centre of the mystery sits the most enigmatic and explosive figure of all--Igor Gouzenko, the Soviet defector whose spy revelations started the Cold War. Igor: A Novel of Intrigue brings the award-winning fictional trilogy, The King Years, to a stunning conclusion.
