The Guardians in the UK
The mass market edition of The Guardians makes its oh-so-affordable appearance in the U.K. next week (publishing on February 2nd). It’s a novel with a haunted house in it, which explains the, well, haunted-looking house on the cover. To all … More

Mind blown down here. The Guardians has today made it on to the Maclean’s national fiction bestseller list for a seventh straight week. It’s up to #5. If I knew how to add an “Insanely grinning monkey” emoticon on this … More
