Kevin A. Couture grew up in a BC mining town and has spent the last
decade waking before dawn to write. The stories in his debut
collection, Lost Animal Club, have all appeared in Canadian or
American journals. In recent years, he has been nominated for the
Writers' Trust of Canada/McClelland & Stewart Journey Prize, and
was included in the anthology Coming Attractions. He lives on
Vancouver Island with his children, and their Brittany spaniel, who
spectacularly defies animal training.

Praise for Lost Animal Club
"Kevin A. Couture's Lost Animal Club is a polished lens that
glimpses adolescent mysteries and the lingering puzzles of
addiction and sobriety and healing. These haunting stories are
populated by bears and bees, cats and dogs, lost animals and lost
children and lost parents, evoking a world both charming and
stormy, domestic and animal--and it is animal in the best way."
Mark Anthony Jarman, author of Knife Party at the Hotel Europa
"The stories in Lost Animal Club do what the best short fiction
excels at: shaping loneliness into art and capturing people in
extremis. Kevin A. Couture's sharp, muscular prose gives off
emotional jolt after emotional jolt, sparking the reader into
thinking about what it means to be human."
Zsuzsi Gartner, author of Better Living Through Plastic
Explosives
"Kevin A. Couture's stories are filled with the hurting and the
brave, people who seek redemption in whatever ways they can manage.
Lost Animal Club is a compelling, dexterous collection, full of
humanity and insight."
Julie Paul, author of The Pull of the Moon
"These are beautiful stories about survival in social wilderness. I
loved them! Read this book. Lost Animal Club will find you wherever
you are and invite you to come back home."
Sarah Selecky, author of This Cake Is for the Party
"... executed with masterful control..."
Andrew MacDonald, Event
"These stories stuck with me, so consuming that they infiltrated my
dreams...."
