Death in October

First published in 1996 post the Quebec Federalists' slim referendum win, "Death in October" is a celebrated Canadian classic, once out of print and now a sought-after collector's item, with new copies fetching over $100. Updated and expanded, its modern hardcover reissue has intrigued fans. Despite being written over 15 years ago, the book's depiction of Quebec-Canada relations remains eerily relevant, suggesting the separatist sentiment's plot is even more plausible today, amidst growing indifference to Quebec's demands.

About the Author: Lowell Green
In addition to being Canada's most honored broadcaster, Lowell Green is one of Canada's best selling authors. His first memoir, The Pork Chop and Other Stories was the best selling book in Eastern Ontario in 2005, outselling even the Harry Potter series. His first novel, Death In October became recommended reading in a number of Canadian high schools and his other two books, How the Granola Crunching, Tree Hugging Thug Huggers are Wrecking our Country and It's Hard to Say Goodbye have been runaway best sellers.

He lives with his wife Deborah on the outskirts of Canada's Capital only a few minutes drive from Scotiabank Place, home of his beloved Ottawa Senators Hockey team. He dotes on three grandchildren whom he describes as absolutely the smartest, best-looking kids in Canada.

His numerous awards include citations from former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the Helen Keller Fellowship Award from Lions International, the coveted Gold Ribbon Award from The Canadian Association of Broadcasters, the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Radio and Television News Directors Association, and a special award from the International Olympic Commission for his broadcasts from the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games. He has had a wing at an Ottawa Hospital named in his honor, and a day named in his honor in Ottawa. He has a special "Community Builder" plaque hanging in his honor at Ottawa City Hall and is the recipient of the prestigious "Queen's Golden Jubilee" medal.

In addition to his writing, Lowell can be heard hosting the Lowell Green show on Radio Station CFRA in Ottawa, Canada each weekday from 10:00 -- noon. For years his radio show has been the top rated in Ottawa and one of the top rated talk shows in North America. Two of his historic broadcasts are being preserved in Canada's National Archives.
First published in 1996 immediately following the narrow referendum victory by the Quebec Federalists, Death in October has become a Canadian classic. Out of print for many years, the book has become a collector's item, new copies selling in some quarters for well over $100! At the urging of his many fans and readers Lowell has updated and added chapters to this book and as you can see has re-printed a much more modern hard cover version. What many will find interesting is that although written more than 15 years ago, the relationship between Quebec and the rest of Canada is startlingly similar to what it was when this book was first written. In fact, writes Lowell, the premise of the plot line in this book is even more probably today that it was in 1996. Most agree that Canadians today are far less sympathetic to Quebec's demands today than ever before.
