Walking with the Missus is a book about a couple as they walk down the journey of life, with many side trips, some sad and some delightfully funny. The Missus is featured in much of the book, but not always as she would like to be portrayed. However, things do seem to balance out with not only the Missus but also with the sharing of happy and sad experiences. The experiences the reader shares in this book go along well with the usual pulling for the underdog, because even with all of the often negative things that are described in this book the underdog is triumphant in the end. It is definitely a feel good book.

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.
