Campbell River is a modern city of 30,000 on the east coast of Vancouver Island that still retains an aura of the


frontier, a result of its status as gateway to the wilder reaches of the upper BC coast. Although the community has roots in mining, fishing and logging, it has long been a recreational centre, famous for the size of its “Tyee” salmon.


Campbell River is three books in one: it blends the city’s fascinating history, contemporary life and breathtaking scenery into one volume.


The informative text by local writer Ian Douglas features the area’s rich


First Nation’s culture and key pioneers along with modern-day artists, business people and community leaders. We explore areas around the city including Mittlenatch Island, a seabird colony and nature reserve nicknamed the “Galapagos of the Gulf of Georgia” and majestic Strathcona Park, BC’s oldest provincial park.

Private School of HARD KNOCKS by Anita Hayes


Available through Amazon and


www.RoseDogBooks.com 1-800-834-1803


ISBN: 978-1-4349-9875-0 Hardback, 9.25 x 6.25, 174 pp $19.00 US


Full of candor and a zest for living, Anita shares with us her unique viewpoint on the triumphs, humiliations, and side- splittingly funny experiences of her life from birth to her forties.


Her inspiration for the book came after an unfortunate series of events led to the devastation of all she had worked for and left her on the brink of suicide.


This boldly honest, deeply touching account reveals a buoyant soul who is not afraid to be who she is and to follow her dreams wherever they may lead.


Anita was born and raised in


Vancouver BC and now shares her home in Campbell River on Vancouver Island with her “kids”– four beautiful purebred collies. She is an active supporter of animal welfare and a fantastic cook.
