Defining Diana will grab you on the first page and won't let you go."e;--Robert J. Saywer, Author of Wake"e;Defining Diana manages to feel true to both its hardboiled and its futuristic roots.

Four dead Borg and counting. Serial killer, gang violence or civil war? While the Special Detection Unit hunts for answers, a terrified family searchs for their Disappeared daughter, and war between society's elites takes an even nastier turn. Borg and genetic technology is evolving exponentially and Frank Steele finds himself up against unfathomable enemies.Franks needs to find the key that ties it all together.

'A Circle of Birds' is an impressionistic, finely wrought tale of lost memory, tangled history, despair and discovery. It is a journey through much Canadian and world history; a mind-melting descent into mental illness, a sordid yarn of death and twisted love. "This is a surprising tour-de-force, and its author should be praised for it; his vision is bleak, his language is spare, but his imagination is rich and his abilities are profuse. More, please, Mr. Trenholm." - Geist Magazine Winner of the 15th annual 3-Day Novel-Writing Contest
