Chad Pelley is an award-winning author, songwriter, and photographer from St. John's, Newfoundland. His debut novel, Away from Everywhere, was a Coles bestseller, won NLAC's CBC Emerging Artist of the Year Award, and was shortlisted for both the ReLit Award and the Canadian Authors Association Emerging Artist of the Year Award. It has been adopted by university courses, and is currently being adapted for film. His short fiction has been published in journals, textbooks, anthologies, and has been recognized by close to ten awards. Chad is the founder of Salty Ink, President of the Writers Alliance of Newfoundland & Labrador, and writes for a variety of publications, including Quill & Quire, The National Post, and Atlantic Books Today. As a result, he rarely sees more of the world than his computer screen, and his hottest one-night stands happen in his own bed, with books of Canadian fiction.
Chad Pelley's "Every Little Thing" is a compelling ride that shows
that even the unexpected leaves clear footprints. With finely-drawn
characters that live and breathe and clearly feel, it's a marriage
of wistful and wonderful, spiced with a sharp dash of the realities
that we all face in life. It's bare honesty, played hard. - Russell
Wangersky, author of Whirl Away - 20130121
Every Little Thing's protagonist, Cohen Davies, is as
psychologically rich and prismatic a character as any reader could
hope for - here is complicated love, human failing, tenacity and
true feeling. Chad Pelley takes on addling jealousy, heartache,
loss, and the need to be forgiven. Stylistically fresh, taut with
emotional torques and charges, Pelley's Every Little Thing is
can't-put-it-down compelling. - - Lisa Moore, author of February
and Alligator - 20130128
From the cold clutch of a prison cell to the serenity of a lover's
arms and back again, this is the tale of a man whose pugnacious
heart is both literally and figuratively broken. In Every Little
Thing Chad Pelley delivers a transfixing chronicle of what happens
when devotion and jealousy ride alongside a clumsy desire for a
just world. Compulsively readable from start to finish. - Billie
Livingston, author of One Good Hustle and Cease to Blush - 20130114
