Colin Snowsell

"The Frollett Homestead is a joy to read: a puzzle, a ghost story, and a psychological study. It is both amusing and thoughtful, challenging our expectations and simple understandings. Like Nylander's photographs, Snowsell's prose is masterful and individual. And he is more than a promising writer: he is a full-blown talent." - Caterina Edwards, author of Finding Rosa

"The Frollett Homestead is a poignant and compelling novella that takes the reader on a journey to unexpected places and to a deep mystery. Nothing is quite as it seems. Nothing can be taken for granted. The writing is crisp and eloquent and the powerful tale that Snowsell weaves won't be easily forgotten." - David Taras, Professor, Department of Communication and Culture, University of Calgary, author of The Newsmakers: The Media's Influence on Canadian Politics, and Power & Betrayal in the Canadian Media

"The last reporter honestly reporting, Allan Mow persists in his pursuit of the truth, though coworkers mock his interest in his community's past as quaint and mawkish. As his hero argues for the local, Snowsell's prose deftly argues for the enduring power of our language, its sinewy precision a perfect representation of the hero's seemingly doomed project." - Sean Johnston, author of All This Town Remembers
