A deeply moving meditation on love and loss, the elusiveness of truth, and the frail and befuddled mind of a deeply haunted man, this gripping, tragic and densely atmospheric novel follows the exploits of one Chris Needham as he attempts to traverse the minefield of his life along the pockmarked moonscape of the British Columbia coast.

Examining the joy of love, the price of infidelity and the capacity for sorrow lurking beneath the surface of everyday experience, Leaving Lovestiff Annie is a virtuoso piece of writing that will leave the reader shaken and changed.
