ENCOMPASS EDITIONS: Good to Read

Determined to navigate a publishing sea tossed by tempests, with good vessels foundering everywhere, Encompass weighed anchor in 2009 and in March of 2010 set sail towards a stormy horizon. Since then we've launched seven titles and are even now fitting out seven more.

Our objective?

To equip our readers with books good to read.
To serve our authors well.
To stay afloat.

Encompass Editions proudly announces the publication of Denise Cormier's frank confessional of life in the Acadian fishing village that was once her home.

The Village of My Heart's Mistake is the story of a slow emergence from the chrysalis of a perfect childhood, the striving for romantic completion, the persistence of life in the face of bad, bad news.

Encompass is pleased to publish Skinworks, the most recent book by
Dr. Barry Lycka, one of North America's most eminent cosmetic surgeons.

In SkinWorks, Dr, Lycka conducts a comprehensive survey of personal skincare, from the simplest precautions to the most advanced procedures, procedures of which he himself has often been an important early introducer.

Encompass is proud to announce the publication of the first volume of That Line of Darkness, Robert A. Douglas' ambitious exploration of the Gothic sensibility as the nineteenth century became the twentieth.

Douglas' starting point is Stoker's Dracula, but he ultimately traces the process by which hunter and hunted are fused, culminating in the grisly killing fields of the Great War.

The Magnificent Mary Ann published

The Magnificent Mary Ann marks thriller-meister Philip Kraske's entry into the softer world of romantic love. But readers of Kraske's left-wing suspense fiction will not be disappointed. Even this touching tale of a professional man's encounter with a gifted naif, their love and its ending, is embedded in a world of evil industrialists and evil evangelist preachers.

Lillivax Inheritance published

The Lillivax Inheritance is Suzanne Daningburg's suspenseful tale spun from the bubbling moral dilemma of animal-based research. On one side of this troubling issue are animal lovers and animal rights activists. On the other side are the pharmaceutical industry and the medical profession. The views of the two camps seem irreconcilable.

What would happen if a person professionally devoted to one perspective was pitched without warning into a position of leadership on the other side?

Set in present-day Montreal, home to a thriving biotech and pharma industry, The Lillivax Inheritance asks, What would I do?
