About meMy first novel, Combat Camera, has been awarded the 2009-2010 Metcalf-Rooke Award, an award for an unpublished book-length manuscript. It is scheduled for publication in fall 2010.

"Combat Camera by A.J. Somerset is that very rare thing, a really superbly recognized Canadian novel ... the power of the book lies in its voice, a voice that is restless, ceaseless, meandering, tragic, sometimes very funny, a mind and voice that maintain an almost hypnotic grip on the reader. Combat Camera is one of the finest Canadian novels I have ever read."
-- John Metcalf
