BWL PUBLISHING INC. IS A CANADIAN PUBLISHER REPRESENTING AUTHORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD.  We pride ourselves on publishing high quality fiction written by talented authors with exceptional accomplishments in their traditional and publishing fields.  We specialize in genre fiction for readers who love good stories. 

To celebrate Canada's 150th Birthday, BWL Publishing Inc. chose a group of talented authors to write a series of books highlighting Canadian women and their roles in founding and settling this great country. 

Too much of Canadian literature ignore the contributions of early Canadian women, focusing instead on the men who came to this country and their accomplishments.  The Canadian Historical Brides Collection contains one novel set in each Province and Territory in Canada.  Every story contains all the elements of breathtaking Canadian fiction.  Romance, mystery, suspense, with paranormal elements, and out of this world excitement. The stories are fiction, but the events and experiences that form the core of the stories are factual events from the history of Canada. They tell the stories of the women.
