CROSSHAIRS
From the beloved author of Scarborough, a terrifying dystopian future world!
Set in a frighteningly familiar near future, with massive floods leading to rampant homelessness and devastation, a government-sanctioned regime called the Boots seizes on its power to force communities of colour, the disabled, and the LGBTQ2S into labour camps in Toronto. In the shadows, a hero emerges. After his livelihood and the love of his life are taken away from him, Kay joins the Resistance, alongside Bahadur, a transmasculine refugee and Firuzeh, a headstrong social worker. Guiding them in the ways of combat is Beck, a rogue army offer, who helps them plan an uprising.
A cautionary tale filled with fierce and vibrant characters, CROSSHAIRS explores the universal desire to love and be loved as your true self.
Catherine Hernandez is a proud queer woman of colour, a radical mother, a theatre
practitioner, and an award-winning author. Her first novel, Scarborough, soon to be a motion picture, won the JIm Wong-Chu Award for unpublished manuscript; was a finalist for the Toronto Book Award, the Evergreen Forest of Reading Award, the Edmund White Award, and the Trillium Book Award; and was longlisted for Canada Reads.
Scarborough will be adapted into film and produced by Compy Films, Telefilm Canada, and Reel Asian Canadian Film Festival, with Catherine writing the screenplay. For more information about Catherine, have a look at her website at: https://www.catherinehernandezcreates.com
