Child of Morning Star: Embers of an Ancient Dawn is a poetic collection of stories that draws on the author's travels and knowledge as a Dene artist and a lifelong student of history. In it, Antoine Mountain weaves stories about people and art and the moments when our world manages to pause just briefly enough that we can see the roots of our communal humanity. Each part of this book corresponds to the four directions of the Medicine Wheel and offers insight into history, social conditions, community, and the spiritual.

Oridinary Criminals is a collection of stories by probation officer Doug Heckbert about real people who have been convicted of real crimes and who have been on probation, on parole, or in prison.

These stories show the human side of criminals not just the crimes they committed.
