Dying Hour
by Jennifer Rouse Barbeau
AWARD - July 2020 Whistler Independent Book Award FINALIST for fiction
AWARD - May 2020 Whistler Independent Book Award shortlist for fiction
Can one voice on the radio save a soul?
Stan Templeman has deemed the hour from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. to be the 'Dying Hour' because he is certain he will die between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. in the morning. He challenges his listening audience to speculate about how they might die.
Timothy is a nine-year-old, awake at home and listening to Stan's radio show on his laptop. Timothy uses his mother's cell phone to share the details of how he thinks he will die, revealing details about his family situation that get other adult listeners riled up.
And yet the person with the most to learn about himself (and his past) is Stan, who has nothing but his large and gravelly voice to keep him company through the wee hours of his late night radio show.

Bluffs: stories from the edge
Dying Hour
by Jennifer Rouse Barbeau
How do you find the truth when the adults in your life are crazy?
This is the dilemma of thirteen-year-old Sarah Joanne Bradley--alias Swampy Jo.
Swampy Jo is a heroic tale of a young girl setting aside her personal need to disappear, in order to save the life of a brooding love interest--because she is the only one aware that he needs saving.
Puberty and love aren't easy when you're navigating a minefield of secrets in your divorced, formerly upper-middle class family, while the adults in your life hinge their hopes on religious superstitions and palm reading.
Available in e-book format.
Also available in print format directly from author. (Publisher Your Scrivener Press has retired and author has remainder copies.)

BLUFFS: NORTHEASTERN ONTARIO STORIES FROM THE EDGE
Includes the short story 'Grumble' by Jennifer Rouse Barbeau
Get ready to hve your horizon expanded!
BLUFFS presents a wonder-working miscellany of 19 stories by acclaimed, established, and emerging authors.
The collection is a sampler of forms, styles, and genres. Knowing how to call these BLUFFS isn't easy. Though they present characteristics of ghost stories, science fiction, mystery, satire, folktale, dark comedy, magic realism, meta-fiction, what's common among the stories is how they surprise our expectations. Their world is not our world, though it may look like it initially. If we follow their lead, they take us to the various edges of what we know. From their cliff-edges we can both look back at our no-longer-familiar landscape, and step forward into . . .
Try calling these BLUFFS--into your literary landscape. . . or step into theirs.

SULPHUR: Laurentian University's Literary Journal - Winter 2013 (Issue 3)
includes the short story 'Dead Wood' by Jennifer Rouse Barbeau
DEAD WOOD - Nature and the 'Net are dead. The time known as 'The Dirge' has left little to live on. Life is especially harsh for Drifters as they travel by horse and carriage between cities and towns, gathering what they can to feed townspeople back home.
The hardest part is staying warm, especially through the winter. With no trees or coal or plant fuels left to burn, a Drifter has to get creative. The whole town counts on it.
Luckily, no one is really policing the barren highways or checking cargo, and some of the most selfish, once richest townsfolk surely won't be missed . . .
A dark tale of hope and resilience in apocalyptic times, when survival is made simple again.
