We Are Still Here
by CJ Beuhler


Hinoch has always had a special connection to his native land of Labrador, so when the young Inuit artist is guided to the isolated site of a plane crash by a raven, he is relatively unfazed. It is there Hinoch finds a gold ring belonging to one of the former crew members, a ring containing the spirit of the lost owner. Hinoch knows he must reunite the ring with the owner’s family in order to save the man’s spirit. Hinoch’s efforts to find the lost man’s family finally pay off when a young woman named Joanna visits him in his isolated community. The two immediately hit it off, and Joanna is drawn to the simple Labrador lifestyle and the traditional and spiritual ways of the Inuit. Hinoch and Joanna begin to see themselves sharing their lives together, but then Hinoch drops a bombshell: he’s been having shamanic visions of the world being destroyed by overpopulation and climate change. Now he’s unsure if Joanna will be willing to join him in relocating his people to the safety of the wilderness.


"An exciting new voice on the scene, CJ Beuhler's enormous imaginative scope, his vigorous prose, and the high tension he creates will have everyone reading this book." - Sharon Butala, winner of the Kloppenburg Award for Literary Excellence


C. J. Beuhler has always enjoyed travelling and has found that societies with the least amount of material wealth are often the happiest, which partly inspired him to write We Are Still Here. He enjoys the time he spends with the Stayin’ Alive Choir, the Retired Military Association, and the Prairie Quills Writing Group, and enjoys being a luthier in his free time. He currently lives in rural Saskatchewan with his spouse.
