Chris had intended to call his latest novel, Audacity. However he changed the title to By Right Of Soil shortly before it was published.
After a death-defying journey from her tiny Newfoundland village Chastity Horwood arrives in New York City anxiously seeking Otto Madison, the father of her unborn child. On her first night in the big city Chastity gives birth to a son, Madison Horwood. His birth on U.S. soil guarantees American citizenship to the child. American citizenship brings opportunities, rewards, privileges and, most of all, challenges... the ultimate challenge a run for the Presidency.
By Right Of Soil is now available on Kindle and all the other e-readers. It is also available in print at www.amazon.com and www.bn.com
DRC Publishing, who published Gravel Pit Campers, has also expressed interest in publishing By Right Of Soil. Discussions are ongoing.

When Quebec decides to separate from Canada, Newfoundland and Labrador is forced to make some hard decisions. There are no easy options for the former colony, nation and province. What about independence again? The concept is as divisive as it was in 1949 and is loaded with apprehension and fear.
Riveting.
Thought provoking.
Dissolution is available in print at www.drcpublishing.com and at most bookstores in NL

A synopsis of Gravel Pit Campers: Loot and Biddy Bridger live in Reefer's Harbour in Newfoundland and Labrador. Loot is a mechanic who has never met a mechanical problem that he couldn't fix. He converted a 72 pupil school bus into a camper and along with Biddy and their children, Donnie and Winn, headed out for some serious gravel pit camping.
Along the way they meet up with Jock, a widower from the States, who is having mechanical problems with his old Winnebago. They get to know a University student from Ontario who is doing research in Newfoundland garbage dumps. And there is the mysterious Julienne who is on a mission to Newfoundland. And Aunt Edwina, Biddy's millionaire aunt, takes more than a platonic interest in Jock. And there's a brush with the RCMP!
Gravel Pit Campers has it all: Humour that will make you laugh out loud; a story line that is real and true; and people whose lives you identify with so strongly that you can't help yourself from laughing and crying along with them. An original tale that holds the reader riveted.
