Publisher's Synopsis
Two brothers lose and find one another again on the path to young adulthood; a woman is sought out by an unlikely medium so an insistent message can be delivered; a couple respond to an ad on Kijiji and wish they hadn't. From Vancouver Island author Derek Hanebury comes a remarkable collection of short stories that delve into humanity and what it means to navigate this sometimes uncertain world.
Derek Hanebury is a Vancouver Island writer of fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction. Something Else Altogether is his first solo collection of short stories, following the 2020 publication of Both Sides Now (RCN), which was a compilation of stories co-authored with Vicki Drybrough, and Libbie Morin, and the 2006 publication of Nocturnal Tonglen (Ekstasis) a collection of poems. His first novel, Ginger Goodwin: Beyond the Forbidden Plateau, (Arsenal Pulp) went to a second printing. He has a Master's Degree in Creative Writing from UBC and taught writing at North Island College on Vancouver Island until his retirement in 2017.
