Many years ago on Christmas Eve, a reindeer black as coal was born at the North Pole. He had a sapphire blue nose that would brightly glow, whether he wanted it to or not. This makes Randolph the Blue-Nosed Reindeer feel alone, because he stands out from everyone else. Even though he is very close to his cousins, who are like a brother and sister to him, what Randolph really wants is a friend outside his family. One day he builds a snow fawn to get his mind off things. Little does he know that the snow fawn will change his life forever. Randolph learns why he was gifted with a blue nose. He meets many creatures, gains new friends, and finds love in this very special children’s story. Unfortunately, in the darkest part of the North Pole, where the sun never shines and it is always bitterly cold, lives a warlock whose heart is blacker than darkness itself. This evil warlock seeks to kill the kind-hearted blue-nosed reindeer and take over everything he sees. Randolph bravely chooses to use his glowing nose in an attempt to save the world, hoping to put a stop to the warlock’s threat once and for all.

Alex MacLean was the inspiration for the title character in Jack London's bestselling novel The Sea-Wolf. Originally from Cape Breton, MacLean sailed to the Pacific side of North America when he was twenty-one and worked there for thirty-five years as a sailor and sealer. His achievements and escapades while in the Victoria fleet in the 1880s laid the foundation for his status as a folk hero. But this biography reveals more than the construction of a legend. Don MacGillivray opens a window onto the sealing dispute brought the United States and Britain to the brink of war, with Canadian sealing interests frequently enmeshed in espionage, scientific debate, diplomatic negotiations, and vexing questions of maritime and environmental law.

All Gone Widdun is a work of fiction. Most of the major events in the novel are based on accounts in James P. Howley's classic, The Beothucks or Red Indians: the aboriginal inhabitants of Newfoundland (1915, Cambridge University Press), and Ingborg Marshall's A History and Ethnography of the Beothuk (1996, McGill Queen's University Press). Nearly all the named characters-with a few notable expressions-were real people. Their personalities have been fictionalized. How they felt about themselves, each other and what happened is a matter of conjecture. Copies of Shanawdithit's drawings are placed at appropriate points in the narrative. Her original drawings can be found in the Newfoundland museum, St. John's. *Widdun: Beothuk word for sleep, euphemism for death. Annamarie Beckel lives in Northe Wisconsin. She works as editor/writer for the Abinoojiiyag (Youth) Center on the Lac du Flambeau Ojibwe Indian Reservation. Beckel has published scientific articles and a non-fiction book, Breaking New Waters. She became fascinated with this story on her first visit to Newfoundland in 1976. This is her first novel.
