Hablo Como El Rio by Jordan Scott

Autumn wants the house, but Elijah wants her.

Autumn Adler, a famous concert pianist, is making her solo comeback to the stage after a tragic accident, and she can't afford any distractions. Of all the things that could go wrong, she never expected her landlord to rent out the ground floor of her home to Elijah Wells - a game designer in the midst of building his own company. Autumn loves her townhouse, and she refuses to give it up. However, Elijah is equally stubborn. As the days pass, Autumn's efforts to make him leave only further his desire to win her over. It seems as though neither can win this battle of wills.
Yet as Autumn's showcase approaches, a seemingly innocent gift turns into something far more alarming. Can the two call a truce and figure out what's going on?
One house, two strangers, and a dark secret. What could go wrong?

Jordan Scott is a poet and children's author. Scott has written five books of poetry and was the recipient of the 2018 Latner Writers' Trust Poetry Prize for his contributions to Canadian poetry. Scott's debut children's book (illustrated by Sydney Smith), I Talk Like a River, was a New York Times Best Children's Book of 2020. Rob Budde teaches creative writing at the University of Northern British Columbia in Prince George. He has published eight books (poetry, novels, interviews, and short fiction) and appeared in numerous literary magazines including Canadian Literature, The Capilano Review, West Coast Line, Dusie, ditch, filling Station, Prairie Fire, Matrix, and dandelion. His most recent books are declining america and Dreamland Theatre from Caitlin Press, which was shortlisted for the BC Book Prize Dorothy Livesay Award. Manuscripts in process include Testes (a poetic engagement with maleness), Panax (a cross-genre relationship with Devil's Club), and The Salmon Wars (a speculative fiction trilogy about 'ecoterrorism' in a near-future Northern BC). He co-edits Thimbleberry Magazine: Arts + Culture in Northern BC. Ken Belford was born in Alberta and grew up in Vancouver. From 1970 - 2005 he, along with his wife and daughter, operated a non-consumptive ecotourism lodge in the unroaded mountains around Blackwater Lake near the headwaters of the Nass and Skeena Rivers. The self-educated lan(d)guage poet has said that living for decades in the mountains has afforded him a unique relationship to language that rejects the colonial impulse to write nature poetry, but speaks from the outside, from the regions of the 'other'. The conventional standards of narrative and lyric poetry give me nothing. The intention of the sequences I write is to assemble words that can be messaged to the habituated souls of the city from the land-aware that live outside city limits. Spending his last years in Prince George, British Columbia, with his activist wife, Si Transken, Belford continued to challenge the boundaries of the conventional forms of the various schools of poetry, and maintained dialogues with many poets in Canada and America. His eight books of poetry are Fireweed, The Post Electric Caveman, Pathways Into the Mountains, lan(d)guage, ecologue, Decompositions, Internodes and slick reckoning. Si Transken is an Associate Professor in Social Work at UNBC. Her doctorate is in Equity Studies from the University of Toronto. She was taught by Laurentian University students for three years before coming to Prince George in 2001 to teach in the Social Work and Gender Studies Program. Her private practice, Trans/Formative Services, brings women into her life who are courageous, tenacious, and clawing their way through the pain of patriarchy, classism, heterosexism, and many other ugly oppressions. Si has been involved in Jezebel's Jam (an annual fundraiser organized through the Northern Women's Centre) every year as an organizer and a performer, and has supported numerous other outreach organizations around the community, including AWAC, STOP, the Sexual Assault Centre and the Beach House.
