Welcome!

Réal Laplaine

I write in several genres. I pen a Canadian crime series called the Keeno Crime Thrillers, which I started because I was tired of watching American crime series and figured it was time to introduce a Canadian to the stage. I wrote a book about an ABBA reunion, entitled Finding Agnetha, back when no one thought it would ever happen, until recently when it did. It's an inspiring story. One of my most popular books is The Buffalo Kid - not, as some people have misinterpreted, about Buffalo Bill, but in fact, about a 71-year-old homeless man in Buffalo, New York, who has been destitute for over 30 years until one day when a bizarre encounter changes everything. Every reader has loved the story because it talks to us on a level of pure human empathy. Twilight Visitor was my first geopolitical thriller that spotlighted nuclear weapons as an imminent threat to the world. Reviewers have compared it to the best of Dan Brown, Jack Higgins and even Tom Clancy. Earth Escape, followed by The Other, it's sequel L.I.N. and most recently, When Gods Roar, raise the bar on the question of when and how nuclear weapons will inevitably be used against mankind - and each book presents us with a believable scenario about what we face if we don't ban these weapons for good. There are several other books in my store, and more coming, but I've run out of space so you'll just have to browse around.

B.A.N.

I  started an initiative called B.A.N. or Ban All Nukes, which was launched in the wake of Putin's invasion of the Ukraine, and which is already gaining momentum and has been recognized for its work by both ICAN (International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons) and the United Nations Sweden.

Not everything is fiction

As a note, I generally refuse to call any of my work science fiction, because I try to portray what is and what will be in the near future, and that falls under speculative fiction, which, as Margaret Atwood, author of Handmaids Tale so aptly describes as...  

"Speculative fiction encompasses that which we could actually do. Sci-fi is that which we're probably not going to see."

INTRUSION (Book 1 of the Keeno Crime Thrillers)


"Calling this book a page-turner does not do it justice. The author takes what WE would all think is impossible and makes it not only possible....but probable." 

Yankeelin


THE ONE (Book 3 of the Keeno Crime Thrillers)


 "If you are familiar with and enjoyed Louise Penny's Three Pines mysteries, you'll love The One." 

Russell Warnberg, author of 2064

  "Réal Laplaine has written a true masterpiece that is hard to put aside, even when you HAVE to sleep." 

Johnny A.

"The Other is an amazing and exciting story! I refuse to ruin anyone else's appreciation of this terrific story by telling too much. Instead, I will limit myself to sharing my thrills and love of the story, the realistic characters, and the excitement knowing the story isn't over."

JanR

"The sequel to The Other, L.I.N. (acronym for Live-Intelligent-Network) is as grabbing and highly suspenseful as its predecessor in the series."

  "Written in a flurry of inspiration, after seeing the film Mamma Mia, Laplaine conjured a magical adventure in a tribute to the iconic Swedish band, ABBA, that sweeps you along in its cosmic flow, where real time (and disbelief) is suspended and events travel with the speed of light."

Whether it is a false threat or not, Keeno and his team start the hunt as clues reveal that the 9th Divinity is home-grown, right in Canada, and that their threat is anything but false.
