"Take My Book, Please"
John Degen has really done it now. Caught in the middle of a nation-wide scrap over the hot topic of copyright, Degen has unleashed a barrage of intellectual property that no one else could've ever dreamed up: his book. John's novel The Uninvited Guest, shortlisted for the Amazon.ca/Books in Canada First Novel Award only last year, is now available as a FREE PDF at John's website. It's true, his publisher even consented to this. If you like enough of what you see to covet the real thing, you may, of course, purchase it right here through our distributor.

The Uninvited Guest List
John Degen’s novel The Uninvited Guest was a finalist for the prestigious Amazon.ca/Books in Canada First Novel Award, the premier award for the best first novel in Canada.
