Kevin Marc Fournier

Winnipeg-born and raised, Kevin Marc Fournier works with mentally handicapped adults, writes a semi-regular column for online magazine Quiblit.com, fantasizes about being a full-time house husband and gets spanked in his office hockey pools with Sisyphean regularity. His first book, a young adult novel called Sandbag Shuffle (Thistledown), follows two young opportunists as they make their own kind of profit off the Manitoba Red River Flood of 1997. Sandbag Shuffle takes on natural disaster, disability, vagrant youth, and loyalty with sharp wit and speed. It won the McNally Robinson Book for Young People Award at the 2008 Manitoba Book Awards.
