Book Description
Ice and Fire is a collection of nonfiction narratives from award-winning writer Stephen Osborne, who retains an abiding sense that the places and the people he encounters are still to be discovered. Negotiating the Trans-Canada Highway near Moncton during a whiteout, visiting Timothy Eaton's grave in Toronto, leaving offerings of tobacco at a Nez Perce battleground, drinking with his Japanese mentor in a revolving bar in Vancouver while debating Buddhism vs. class struggle--for Osborne, all of these are occasions to conjure our time and our place. Ice and fire are extremes of a Canadian North, from which several of these dispatches are written. But Osborne's special insight is that Kamloops, New Glasgow and even Toronto are as unknowable as Pangnirtung. We live in a country that can claim the world's only souvenir police force, and whose analogue is a department store; a country that believes itself to be part of a New World, even though people have lived here for ten thousand years. Smart, funny, moving, and full of wonder and surprise, the dispatches in Ice and Fire illuminate a very old world striving to make itself new.

Book Description
April 5, 1874 Jeremiah Bradley O'Shea, JB to all his friends, is leaving his home in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and headed west. He is leaving the only home he has ever known but even more he is hoping to leave behind the person he has become. He begins his quest, a baptism of sorts to begin a new life. His plan is to first find his brother and his family somewhere in the Wyoming Territory. There, he hopes to begin his own dream of owning a cattle ranch and rediscover the person he was before the Civil War. Before all of the killing, the death and destruction the war brought with it. During his trek JB quickly discovers things, much like in the past, are still the same where he is headed. Just like before, bad may not always be bad and what appears to be good most certainly is not always good. He continues to trust his instinct as he did in the war, maybe even more on this journey. Truly believing at the end of his quest he finds what his soul most desires, peace. Peace in knowing he has given everything he had to give. Not realizing how high the price would actually be. "Welcome, Tom Keilholtz, into the pantheon of great western writers. SOMEWHERE is an engaging, heartfelt road trip circa 1874 with a cast of unforgettable characters, including JB, a great leading man taking us on this scenic adventure into the West. Like the outdoorsman author, JB owns the ground he walks on here, and authenticity resonates on every page." - Robert Knott (Author of Revelation)
