Fifteen-year-old Caleb Mackenzie doesn't put up a fight when his father announces the family is moving to Stapeton, Nova Scotia. In fact, Caleb looks forward to a fresh start in the scenic little area. Their new home, Wakefield House, sports large rooms, a big barn where Caleb can work on cars, and acres of forested land for privacy. But it also has a troubling past. In 1943, a boy who lived in the home vanished. Caleb hears the stories about what may have occurred so many years ago, but he passes them off as folklore until one day he's alone in the woods and hears the faintest whisper. Did someone in the distance just call his name? And what about his discovery in the hayloft? Could there be something to those old stories after all? The initial need to dismiss everything as coincidence becomes a soul-searching journey into the past where Caleb is determined to uncover the truth about what really happened to the missing boy. And in the process, he learns even more about himself and what's really important.

Autorenporträt
Ross A. McCoubrey was born and raised in the beautiful Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. He is proud to make his home near the Bay of Fundy on the land that has been in his family for four generations. During the warmer months Ross enjoys camping, kayaking, and taking treks down dusty roads, where there just might be a Geocache as well as inspiration. In the winter Ross tries to stay by the warmth of the fire with his faithful animal companion, absorbed in a book, movie, or by a piece of music. The Creosote Spider is Ross' second novel. His first book, One Boy's Shadow, was published in 2012 and his third, Skiing the Guggenheim: The Colossal Adventures of an Armchair Curmudgeon, published in 2023.
