My memoir is organized around Medicine Wheel teachings: Childhood, Adolescence, Adulthood, and Elderhood. It traces my life from White Anglo-Saxon Christian upbringing through marriage to a Black Mohawk man, exposure to Indigenous teachings, and my second marriage, to a woman.

With the Seventh Generation in mind, author Wendy Dennys tells her life story in seven chapters in which she explores her relationships with her first spouse, Paul, and her second, Maureen, and with her children, family, and friends. With unflinching honesty and sometimes hard-earned insights, she reveals the pain of loss, grief, and family estrangement and the joy of reconnection as she takes us with her on her physical, emotional, and spiritual journey to what she calls her “transformative relationship with our earthly home.”

Circle Round is the story of a life that has taken more than a few unexpected twists and turns. A life that has often strayed from the path of the conventional. A life well lived.

During the American War of Independence, a wave of British Loyalists moved to Upper Canada with the promise of land. As they arrived in the Bay of Quinte and travelled west to York or Newark, Asa Weller—a resident of the Carrying Place—saw an opportunity.

Batteaux—flat-bottomed boats—were commonly used in the late eighteenth century to carry supplies and goods as well as passengers travelling east and west along the north shore of Lake Ontario. At the Bay of Quinte, however, travellers were forced to unload their cargo and carry everything across the portage to Wellers Bay before continuing on to Lake Ontario. As traffic increased in both volume and intensity, dragging boats across the sand became a painstaking, back-breaking task.

Innovative and ambitious, Asa Weller solved this problem by constructing the “batteau railway” across the one-and-a-half-mile portage. For the next three decades, his facility became so integral to the journey along Lake Ontario’s northern shore that travellers rarely noted it in their accounts. So, what did it look like? And how exactly was it used?

In The Batteau Railway, Dan Buchanan explores Mr. Weller’s groundbreaking transport system. Through meticulous research, he vividly recreates the bustling Carrying Place of the early 1800s and reveals how Weller’s railway became indispensable—not only to settlers and traders but also to the British war effort during the War of 1812.

He went looking for adventure. The mountains gave him so much more.

In Retired Ground, Michael J. Collins documents his fifty-year pilgrimage into wild places, braiding his lifelong travel journal together with poetry, history, philosophical musings, and hard-earned reflection. The book begins with a twenty-one-year-old hitchhiking through Ireland as The Troubles gather in the distance, then ranges outward to blizzards in Nova Scotia, volcanic slopes in Mexico, backcountry solitude on Isle Royale, cliff paths on Kauai, and, again and again, the knife-edge ridges and misty peaks of Scotland’s Isle of Skye.

The climbing is intense, but the story is not only about ascending physical summits. With each trip, Mike’s search shifts from thrill seeking to solitude and from risk to beauty until a night beneath an astonishing sky forces a reckoning with what has been calling him all along.

Honest, soulful, and vivid, Retired Ground is a climber’s odyssey about faith, family, and the pursuit of transcendence within the wilds of nature.

Our heroes return in book 3 of the Veranuxz Experiment. Having finally joined their celestial counterparts on their home planet, three remarkable humans (and one exceptional bear) find themselves thrust into a universe-spanning cataclysm that has been lurking behind the scenes for decades—centuries—perhaps even millennia.

In a universe about to be shaken to its core, Rudolph, Hanze, Franz, and Gleven have to question everything they thought they’d understood as friends become enemies and enemies become the universe’s only hope. As the mighty Alpha Voth Quazarth unleashes his massive, nearly undetectable army, the humans have to seek the aid of the terrifying Straunch: giant galactic barbarians infamous for their brutality and inexplicable power.

But perhaps the most frightening thing the scourges of the universe have to offer isn’t their blades or their disturbing inability to stay dead—because the Straunch also have a world-shaking truth to tell. About their friends the Veranians, about the order of the universe, and about these ersatz heroes themselves. Can the humans reconcile everything they’re learning with everything they’ve known in time to save the cosmos from annihilation?

A mind-bending, swashbuckling adventure through the cosmos in search of the most inexplicable answers to the greatest questions.

Only in the twisted house will Thorne find some of the answers.

In January 1978, the Russian satellite Kosmos 954 crashed in the Northwest Territories, scattering radioactive debris across the tundra. But what if, in their efforts to retrieve the debris, the Canadian and American militaries discover the presence of a spaceship from the future? Could it have caused the crash of Kosmos?

The Kosmos Incident reimagines this real historical moment as the starting point for an incredible story of space and time travel. In the twenty-fifth century, Earth has received a message from an unknown alien sender. Captained by Jacques Lévesque, a crew of twelve are tasked with travelling to the Kalmar Archipelago to find the source of the message. The voyage goes wrong from the start, sending the Kalmar ship on a voyage stretching further across time and space than anyone anticipated. After spending fifteen years on an uncharted and paradise-like planet, the crew, now with children, decide to return to Earth. But when they get there, they find themselves in the year 1978, deeply and unknowingly implicated in the Kosmos crash and Cold War military intrigue. Their ship is badly damaged and marooned in the arctic, perhaps forever. What do they do and how will they take care of their families amid the chaos and the suspicion that they might be predatory off-world aliens? What’s more, because of the dynamics of time travel, they discover that they’re in a time loop which further complicates matters. Their survival and the wellbeing of their children are their first priorities; but how can they achieve this without violating the sanctity of the timeline? Where and who can they turn to for help? How can they ever hope of getting back to their own century?

This novel will appeal to afficionados of Canadian Cold War history and lovers of science fiction—especially anyone who’s ever longed to know more about the lived experiences and personal relationships of the people in a science-fiction story.

The unipolar world order is fracturing. For decades, global finance, trade routes, and international security relied entirely on a single anchor: the United States. But beneath the surface of modern geopolitics, an unprecedented shift is underway. The Western-centric system is no longer the only game in town.

In A World Without America: The Great Decoupling and the Rise of the Global South, author Edwin Lemayian Loki David delivers a sharp, forward-looking analysis of a rapidly reordering planet. As traditional alliances fray and economic weaponization accelerates, the nations of the Global South are no longer just participating in the global economy, they are rewriting its rules. From independent digital financial architectures like mBridge to sovereign control over critical resource supply chains, a parallel, decoupled world is emerging.

This book bridges the gap between complex macroeconomic policy and high-stakes geopolitical reality. Readers will discover:

The Mechanics of Decoupling: How cross-border payment innovations and alternative trade networks are reducing reliance on the US dollar.

The Rise of Sovereignty: Why the Global South is successfully asserting its independence and forging new, non-aligned partnerships.

The Future of Power: What a multipolar, post-American global landscape actually looks like for international trade, technology, and governance.

Authoritative, timely, and deeply analytical, A World Without America is an essential roadmap for investors, policymakers, and anyone looking to understand the new architects of global power. The decoupling has begun. Are you ready for what comes next?
