Eight of Paul Butler's seminal historical fiction novels of Newfoundland are now available through Engen Books, each with a new cover and reflections by the author! https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0GR6SVHRZ

"This novel truly is suspenseful, nail biting and enjoyable all at the same time. Butler provides a thrilling situation of a usual mundane historical event in an extremely well written piece."-- Tint of Ink

"Butler’s usual impeccable historical research is augmented by an intriguing plot that doesn’t really conclude until the final pages."-- Northeast Avalon Times

"Butler covers a lot of ground in a short space, and the flashbacks are vivid and well executed." -- Quill & Quire

"The unanswered questions that will nag historians forever (like 'Who started the fire?') are answered amid the drama of a love story caught in tragic circumstances, making for a rich blend of fact and fantasy." -- Downhome Shoppe

"Butler's prose is smooth and clean; the story moves forward vigorously, with patches of poetry." -- The Globe and Mail
