I've just published a blog post in which I reveal the cover for my upcoming YA debut novel, In the Key of Dale , which will be published by Arsenal Pulp Press in fall 2022. I've updated my website to include the cover, the synopsis, and information about preordering it.

Dale and Rusty have lived in my imagination for nearly a decade, so I'm really looking forward to introducing you to them this fall!

I'm very pleased to announce the forthcoming publication of two new books in 2022. The first is Twice upon a Time: Selected Stories, 1898–1939, the third volume in The L.M. Montgomery Library and a collection of Montgomery’s short stories that reveals how she revised her periodical fiction for her books, including Anne of Green Gables and its ever-popular sequels; it will be published by University of Toronto Press in spring 2022. For more information about the book in the months ahead (including links to my Montgomery-related social media accounts), see my website called L.M. Montgomery Online.

The second is my first novel, In the Key of Dale, about a sixteen-year-old queer music prodigy who starts writing letters to his late father; it will be published by Arsenal Pulp Press in fall 2022. For more information about this book in the months ahead (including links to my personal social media accounts), see my personal website at benjaminlefebvre.com.

I will keep you posted on both books as further information about them becomes available. Both books have been in the works for quite a while, so I'm very excited to share them with you next year!

I'm thrilled to announce that my edition of L.M. Montgomery's rediscovered final book in the Anne of Green Gables series, The Blythes Are Quoted, first published in 2009, will be republished in October 2017 as part of Penguin Canada Modern Classics! This year marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of Montgomery's death, so republication this year of this book—apparently delivered to her publisher the very day of her death—is timely.

Follow my blog for more details as they are released, including new cover art!

In anticipation of the publication of The L.M. Montgomery Reader, Volume 3: A Legacy in Review in the second half of December 2014, I will be posting an extract from a review of her books or an image from an ad—none of which has ever been seen before—every single day until I receive my first copy of the book. Visit the website for L.M. Montgomery Online!

I'm pleased to announce the launch of a new website, L.M. Montgomery Online, just in time for the international conference on L.M. Montgomery and War that starts today at the University of Prince Edward Island. Join us!

Received today my first author's copy of my sixth book, The L.M. Montgomery Reader Volume Two A Critical Heritage. Quite pleased! Wrapping up Volume Three now, due out this fall.

I'm pleased to announce that The L.M. Montgomery Reader Volume One A Life in Print is now available from University of Toronto Press! It will be followed by two additional volumes in 2014. See my official website for more details.
