Tickles, Rattles and Runs

Life in rural Nova Scotia along the eastern shore has its own culture and way. Like the first book, East Coast Eddies, Tickles, Rattles and Runs is a collection of small stories from the perspective of a CFA, a Come From Away, and highlights the author’s view of life around her new home. Having lived in Ontario and British Columbia, and lived in both large cities and small villages and in areas where even villages were distant, the author is familiar with both urban and rural lifestyles, but living large along the coast in Nova Scotia has a distinct way about it. The small stories tell of a few ways in which the author sees the distinction.

The book consists of 5 short stories with an illustration for each story by Nova Scotia illustrator Arthur McBain. The stories are fiction as are the characters but still touch on the distinct flavour of maritime rural Nova Scotia.
