This book presents a wide-ranging portrayal of the creative work done in Saint John in the hundred years following Confederation. Beautiful watercolour and oil paintings, early fossil discoveries, successful bestselling authors and other examples of the creative city are brought together in this volume. Among the many surprising and interesting accounts: the contribution to Maritime natural history made by a butterfly found in the city, the role of the city's Great Fire in generating a host of visual artists documenting the urban landscape, and the little-known Hollywood connection that made the city a hotbed of film production — in the early 1900s.

WHILE THE CITY SLEPT is a figment of the author's imagination concerning historical preservation and Urban Renewal in the city of Saint John, NB Canada. It is a story of murder, arson, graft and greed. The city of Saint John has changed dramatically over the last 100 years. Many of the Historic and Victorian buildings have been torn down. The author mourns the loss of the historic parts of the city while paying honor to that which is lost and remains. The story involves various characters in the city. Common street names, surnames and more are used in the telling of the story. The book also includes historic photographs of parts of the city that no longer exists.
