This Month’s Featured Book
Death on the Rocks
by Erik D’Souza
Every amateur detective secretly believes they are smarter than the police. Suzanne Rickson doesn’t think that. She has faith in Sergeant Bridges’ assessment that the director of their seniors’ theatre troupe, the beloved Wilbur Ghostkeeper, most likely slipped and perished on the rocky shoreline of the Salish Sea.
But Suzanne quickly regrets her naïveté after Wilbur’s widow is violently robbed and assaulted.
Is it too late to investigate the likelihood that whoever attacked the widow may have murdered her husband? Suzanne reluctantly accepts the truth that, yes, she is brighter than the police, and without her, a killer would go free.
In the mood for an idyllic escape? Death on the Rocks will transport you right to the sunshine coast, where a community theatre event finds its members dying, and only senior citizen sleuth Suzanne must use her experience and intuition to follow the all too human twists to the real killer, before the company runs out of understudies. Delightful summer read!
– Iona Whishaw, best-selling author of the Lane Winslow mystery series.

Timbercrest Publishing was born on my computer as a means to make my self-published work look as though it was traditionally published. And now it is becoming what it had initially set out a to mimic. Timbercrest Publishing is a publishing company that puts a modern twist on tradition.
They say that the location of a business is an essential component to its success. I couldn’t agree more. Thank God for wireless internet.
About the Editor
Erik D’Souza
Much like any writer, my career has had many ups and downs. Success is great and should be heralded every time. But failure isn’t all bad. It is a learning opportunity. And I’ve learned a lot.
I’ve been self-publishing my work for several years. My first novel, Straight Men in Gay Bars, has been sold throughout the world. My short stories have been published in various literary magazines, both in print and online. As a humble Canadian, it’s hard for me to admit that I’m an author with global distribution.
I want to share this knowledge with my peers. My goal is to bring them the success they deserve and avoid the mistakes that I had made. I have many very talented friends, and I’m featuring them in the anthology, New Beginnings, a collection of creative writings from BC authors. All the proceeds of the book will be donated to a local charity, SHARE Family and Community Services.
New Beginnings will be the first time that I’ve published other people’s work. Being a writer is often a very solitary craft, but a publisher is a far more social creature. I’ve met so many interesting and intelligent people in the past year. People that want to help and support this project.
It has taught me that writing doesn’t have to be an introverted job. In fact, we are far better off working together. Helping and learning from one and another. And most importantly, supporting each other.
My goal as a publisher is the show the world that my community is a hotbed of literary talent. It’s a tall task, so let’s do it together.
