Blood makes them family. Everything else makes them trouble.

Marrying into the Crimer family means you’re in for more than Sunday dinners.

Angela’s mouth runs as loud as her opinions. Ben stays quiet but never blind. And Hester’s caught between family duty and freedom, trying to keep peace in a world where everyone’s talking and nobody’s listening.

From half-built garages to Christmas dinners that sound like brawls, The Crimers: In-Laws or Outlaws paints a raw, darkly funny portrait of working-class life in Atlantic Canada. Told through multiple points of view—including Stewie’s dry, blue-collar narration—it captures the noise, love, and stubborn pride of a family that can’t stop colliding with itself.

For readers of Larry Brown, David Adams Richards, and Russell Banks, this is domestic realism with grit and heart—a story about the families we can’t escape and the silences that hold them together.

Bunny's Poems is a heartfelt collection of verse written across a life marked by love, loss, resilience, and quiet faith. these poems capture the voices of a young mother widowed too soon, raising four children on her own, finding strength in hope and memory.
