HOW DO YOU KEEP AN INNOCENT CHILD SAFE FROM A PREDATOR WHEN YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE BEAST THAT ASSUMES CONTROL OF YOU?

A train bound for Vermont leaves Manhattan at 11:35 AM. It takes approximately 9 hours to arrive. Sunset at the arrival destination occurs at 8:20 PM. How does Michael Andrews, a man on that train who is afflicted with a werewolf curse, resolve the fact that the math just doesn't work out in his favor? Or in favor of the young girl who is trapped, and cornered?

Michael's unequivocal desire to help usually thrusts him into the middle of tight spots. And though he has never been good at math, he is consistently good at compounding the peril in his day. On an urgent and last minute trip to help a dear friend in need, he finds someone else to help along the way.

Can Michael figure out how he'll be able to protect his young, innocent traveling companion as she tries to make her own cross-country escape from the predator who relentlessly stalks her? And does this curious child hold her own answers that can, in turn, help Michael?

In a tale that has been described as Logan meets Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Mark Leslie has crafted a thrill-ride that explores Michael Andrews, Alpha Wolf and Beta Human as he embarks on a life-altering road trip that sends him hurtling towards his own psyche as it brings him miles away from his familiar home territory.

Mark Leslie would be the first person to admit he's still afraid of the monster under his bed. That might be why most of his books explore the darker side. In addition to penning a series of true ghostly tales (that include SPOOKY SUDBURY, HAUNTED HOSPITALS and CREEPY CAPITAL), he has written a few horror titles (I, DEATH, ONE HAND SCREAMING, and NOCTURNAL SCREAMS), is the editor of the horror anthologies CAMPUS CHILLS, FEEL THE FEAR, and SUPERNATURAL, and is the author of the humorous urban fantasy action/adventure 'Canadian Werewolf" series.

His other passions within the non-fiction realm include fan appreciation/trivia books about the classic modern films Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (THE CANADIAN MOUNTED) and Die Hard (YIPPEE KI-YAY MOTHERF*****)

Proudly adopting the term "Book Nerd" for himself, Mark is most comfortable with a pen in hand, fingers on keyboard or with his nose stuck in a book.He can often be seen traveling to book events with a life-sized skeleton named Barnaby Bones.

Born in Sudbury Ontario, Mark has courted with a serious addiction to reading and writing his entire life. He has called both Ottawa, ON and Hamilton, ON home for about a decade each and currently lives in Waterloo, Ontario.

Mark Leslie delivers another trainload of fun with the novella Stowe Away. Hurtling trains, baddies roaming, full moons nearing, precocious peeps in need of a hairy hero...My fave bit: the elegant elderly lady going "choo choo" while the dining car throws dirty looks at the amused biker dude. (This cryptic note is spoiler free, except perhaps for spoiling of appetites. Trust me: it will make sense when you get there!)Very enjoyable for ages 13 to 113!

5.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable read!

Mark Leslie's 'Stowe Away' is the succeeding part of the series 'A Canadian Werewolf Novella'. The book speaks of a character called Michael Andrews who can take the form of a wolf. Michael is not just a mere person; he is there to help anyone in need. The story leaps with the constraints he has to face while helping others. Will he be able to save the girl or not? This is the core theme of the book. Mark took us to the one-man heroic show of Michael and the deeds of people around him. He always fought with his conscience reasoning that he will be able to save the girl.

I had an enjoyable read of the book and felt it finished so fast. All the four books of the series are outstanding and this one is especially my favorite.

“Stowe Away: A Canadian Werewolf Novella” written by Mark Leslie is a thrilling fantasy and action short novel whose twists and turns gripped me from the first page. Its protagonist is captivating and believable although he is a werewolf. He is always bound to help those in need and in this new instalment of this great series, he has to help a girl who seems to be in a difficult situation. Their paths cross during an urgent, last-minute trip and he will have to find a way to fight his nature and step out of his comfort zone in order to save the girl and obtain some answers.
I really liked this book; the plot is interesting and the writing style makes it very pleasant to read. The author has skilfully maintained suspense and intrigue until the end, creating an unputdownable work. I strongly recommend it.

Continuing the story from the 1st book, I like this story and how it shows how the main character is almost like a friendly dog in wolf form instead of a 7ft tall werewolf monster looking to eat everyone in sight. My only complaint is it's too short. 😁

He turns into a wolf. He grew up reading Spider-Man and wanted to use his wolf powers to help people. This story shows him doing that. Nice little story to start series.😊

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good novel.

Stowe Away is the second book in the Canadian Werewolf series, which is written by Mark Leslie. Michael Andrews must help a young and innocent girl to be safe, but will he really be able to keep her safe from everything and everyone, even himself?
This fantasy tale develops around Michel, a man who can transform into a wolf. Although I don't read many books like this one, I felt trapped by the description of this book. I really liked it. I think it is aimed at teenagers and young adults. The plot is captivating throughout the book and it's not obvious or predictable. The author did a very good job writing this book. I want to read the whole series!

I admit that I got the first book for free or at a deep discount but I immediately went online and bought the next (this one). It is as good as the first I read. There is little of the cute-but-misunderstood ravening beast in these books and more humor mixed with and (at times) desperate coping. This novella (unlike some I've read) is a complete story that doesn't feel rushed. It is filled out with every detail and a great fulfilling ending that any book should have. Very worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really enjoyable!

Mark Leslie has done it again. He has developed a story that appeals to all our senses. Stowe Away is book 1.5 in the Canadian Werewolf Novella and as the series’ name suggests, the story revolves around a wolf, well, actually a man called Michael, who can take
the form of a wolf. However, Michael is not scary; he has the gift of helping others and it is here when a little girl comes into the scene.
I honestly loved this tale, it’s original and definitely stands out from most of the regular stories since we are usually not used to be exposed to stories about human-wolf kind of creatures.
The narrative is outstanding, but Michael is such a tender character that it makes it almost impossible for readers to detach themselves from the story and it may even look like a real story at some point. I guess this is thanks to the author’s gift for narrating well-quality stories. Five stars for Leslie!

3.0 out of 5 stars An Enjoyable Novella
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2022

This is the second in the series, although it felt more like a prequel. It is billed as book 2, an explanation at the back describes it as book 1.5. The next book is Fear and Longing in Los Angeles, which I will be reading next.

Stowe Away is a small novella, and I enjoyed it. A page turner as the unexpected adventure began.

Michael, is a successful author who transforms to a werewolf when the moon is full. As a human, this gives him heightened senses. I enjoyed this aspect as it gave more depth to the story. Michael’s actions and interpretations of people become a lot more interesting.

It starts with Gail, his ex girlfriend, who he still has strong feelings for, contacts him to say she’s had to fly out to be by the bedside of a sick uncle, who appears to be on death’s door. We met Gail in A Canadian Werewolf in New York, where she comes to him for help as her fiancé had gone missing. Now she is alone and upset and Michael’s instinct is to go and support her.

He can only take a train because of his lack of a passport. Here is where the adventure begins. Not only does he have the dilemma of knowing he’ll still be aboard when the moon is full and he’ll change to a werewolf, but he meets Bridget. She is a young girl in peril who is being pursued by an angry friend of her fathers. It was an interesting sojourn to the story.

Although I enjoyed the Michael and Bridget storyline as that was the main part of the book, I felt it was incomplete because it didn’t return to the beginning, and finish where it started with Gail.

As with A Canadian Werewolf in New York, the author had a whole chapter dedicated to the writing of Stowe Away and of the series. It’s a fascinating insight for readers like me who enjoy knowing more about the history and the inspiration behind the writing of a book.

I would give this three stars, which would have been four had the story been fully complete.
