Zapped/Backwards

On his thirteenth birthday, Tommy gets two epic gifts: a brand-new gaming computer and the hottest game around, Screaming Titans. But when his little sister, Tricia, storms into his room at the worst possible moment, something impossible happens: Tommy and Tricia are zapped into a world of knights in black armor, deadly traps, and a shadowy ruler known only as the evil one.

As the dangers grow darker, and a powerful boy named Alexander keeps turning up at exactly the wrong time, Tommy starts to wonder who he can trust. And just when the journey seems like it’s about to end, Tommy learns the most terrifying truth of all . . .

Cultivating Freedom: My Journey with a Narcissist

What happens when the life you built slowly becomes a prison—and leaving feels like an impossible dream?

In this raw, courageous memoir of surviving decades inside a psychologically abusive marriage to a partner with narcissistic personality disorder—C. F. Micky shares openly about her struggles of trying to understand her husband’s illness, the devastating effects it had on her, and the long road back to herself.

This book explores:

• A love story rooted in family, fun, and teamwork that slowly turned into control, fear, and emotional isolation

• Life behind closed doors—walking on eggshells, silencing her own needs, and sacrificing self worth for the sake of children and survival

• The invisible nature of emotional and narcissistic abuse—and red flags to take note of before it’s too late

• Trauma bonding, manipulation, gaslighting, and the erosion of identity over time

• The devastating cost of leaving—and the strength it takes to choose freedom anyway

Understanding, hope, and healing can be yours. Whether you are a survivor, a supporter, or someone seeking to understand the hidden dynamics of emotional abuse, you’ll find validation, insight, and encouragement in these pages.

Nuisance Pests: A Comprehensive DIY Guide for Exterminating Most Household Pests Without the Use of Poisons and Harmful Chemicals

One day, some form of pest will be discovered inside or around your home. How will you handle the removal of this pest? There are two choices. If you have the knowledge of the pest in question and have no fear of it, you could exterminate the pest yourself. If you choose to call a Pest Control company to handle the issue, can you find a reliable company that will eradicate the pest successfully without costing you an arm and a leg.

Nuisance Pests: A Comprehensive DIY Guide for Exterminating Most Household Pests Without the Use of Poisons and Harmful Chemicals is a comprehensive guide to getting rid of pests in your home without cruel traps or poisons and other dangerous chemicals. Written for everyday readers by an experienced exterminator, Nuisance Pests exposes the pest control industry’s best-kept secret: any of us can solve even severe infestations ourselves without the need for expensive—and all too often worthless—professional services. All you need is the knowledge of how to accomplish it. There are a lot of unreliable operators out there. If you decide to call on a Pest Control company to do this for you, this book will show you exactly how to select the most honest and reliable ones.

The author’s know-how and easy-to-follow remedies are products of decades of experience working in pest control, but he is also a qualified naturalist, so Nuisance Pests is more than just a how-to manual. It is packed with information, vividly illustrated, about the life cycles and habits of twenty-five of the commonest pests that can invade our homes and gardens. These stories and images are not just fascinating in themselves. They are also essential knowledge when we need to get rid of the pests, especially if we want our solutions to be safe and eco-friendly.

Watching Trump from Afar—But Maybe Not Far Enough: Elbows Up, Canada!

When Robbie Burns wrote in 1786: “To see ourselves as others see us! It would from many a blunder free us,” he could not have foreseen Donald J. Trump as president of the United States. This book is a record of what Trump’s America looked like to at least one foreign observer during what may turn out to be the most formative year (2025-26) in the nation’s history since 1945. Chronicling Trump’s approach to immigration, health, the environment, freedom of speech, religion, and foreign policy, these pages highlight a country in crisis from the perspective of their cringing neighbours to the north.

Written by a retired Canadian professor with ties on either side of the border, Watching Trump from Afar draws from decades of research on the Soviet Union and Russia, drawing unsettling links between Putin’s Russia and Trump’s America. By detailing the impact this burgeoning authoritarianism has on Canada, and on the United States, the author provides a cautionary tale for citizens on both sides of what was once, but is no longer, touted as the “longest undefended border” in the world.

They Howled All Night: Sasquatch & Evidence of Aliens

Centuries since the first reported sightings, Sasquatch are one of the enduring mysteries of our time. Do they exist? And if so, what are they? Human ancestors? Another species? Or perhaps, something stranger still, not even of this Earth?

Intriguing and ambitious, They Howled All Night is former Chief Parks Naturalist of Manitoba Willard Anderson’s account of his on-the-ground research into Sasquatch and potential extraterrestrial phenomena and what they might suggest about the mysteries of our world. Having had a sighting of a Sasquatch himself, Anderson not only performs meticulous outdoor research of his own but sets up cameras in the wilderness that end up capturing a number of mysterious lights that lead him to deepen the hunch about what many other researchers believe: that Sasquatch might have extraterrestrial connections.

Along the way, Anderson tackles myriad related phenomena, from electromagnetism to quantum physics, a portrait of the lifestyle and biology of Sasquatch, the evolution of hominids on Earth, and much else, ultimately calling to have Sasquatch recognized as a new species—and granted the attendant rights.

Stunning in scope and thrilling in the closeness of its research, They Howled All Night is essential reading for Sasquatch believers, researchers, and skeptics alike.

Prema: A Search for Love

Prema (प्रेमा) is the Sanskrit word for love.

Written over fifteen years, Prema is a memoir told through a series of letters that reflect on love, loss, and personal growth — this author's story is shaped by her lived experience, but one many of us will recognise. Sometimes taking a spiritual and philosophical approach to her healing journey, she explores how her relationships — with family, friends, and herself — shape her understanding of who we are and how we move through the world.

Each letter focuses on a different relationship, tracing her evolution, as she examines painful experiences with honesty and a commitment to forgiveness, without leaning into bitterness.

Prema invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of love and to consider how awareness, compassion, and self-understanding can guide the way as we navigate life.

Shrinks: Tales of Transition

Psychologists are trained to help others survive grief, trauma, and despair. But what happens when the healers find themselves lost in their own lives?

Spanning three decades in Vancouver—from 1981 to 2010—this collection of stories follows three psychologists, David, Ebba, and Ben, as they navigate the delicate line between professional roles and personal upheaval.

Bound by friendship and a shared vocation, they guide patients through grief, trauma, obsession, depression, and fear while their lives beyond the consulting room grow increasingly turbulent:

• David anchors his family during his fight to maintain a fragile marriage.

• Ebba navigates motherhood and divorce, wrestling with a longing that reshapes her understanding of love and loyalty.

• When his wife leaves him, Ben confronts the same crushing depression he has spent his career treating in others.

Interwoven with their journeys are the unfolding deeply human dramas of their patients’ lives: Debbie’s crippling guilt, Thelma’s incandescent grief, Darvesh’s disabling compulsions, and Sunny’s battle to reclaim her life.

Drawing on decades of professional insight, Shrinks: Tales of Transition explores the paradox at the heart of therapy: those who help others heal must eventually confront their own wounds. For fans of Koch’s novel Hired Gun, this collection also offers a window into the early career of David Lipman.

As the years pass and the stories unfold, David, Ebba, and Ben must tackle the question that echoes through every consulting room: how does one face suffering and still choose hope?

The Great Begending

Having improbably escaped ritual sacrifice the day before, Montrealer, Oscar Philpott wakes at midnight the 1st of November, with sharpened senses, a strange clarity, and a force he can’t ignore pulling him toward New York City. By sunrise, he’ll be the only thing standing between humanity and Satan’s right-hand man–Samhain–the Lord of Darkness.

Samhain has unleashed Operation DESPAIR on New York City–wreaking deadly havoc and infiltrating powerful institutions to fracture society from within–attempting to drive a desperate humanity looking for salvation from this spreading apocalyptic nightmare into his arms.

An unlikely hero, Oscar and his exceptional dog Micky make their way south, his skills and awareness of the fight ahead evolving as he heads into the fray. He soon realizes that, for some reason, he’s been chosen to lead the resistance against Samhain. Outmatched against the otherworldly powers being unleashed in NYC – the epicentre of the apocalypse – Oscar demonstrates epic wars against powerful violent opponents can be fought without bloodshed.

Within twenty‑four hours, everything converges at Yankee Stadium for the battle for the soul of mankind. The winner will decide humanity’s future: renewal or ruin. Life as we know it will end, and humanity will begin their journey into life after The Great Begending.

Pa$tor

He smiled to himself, taking a slow sip of the Scotch. God must really love him, he thought. How else could he explain it? All the lies, the scams, the sins, and he was still here. Successful. Respected. Untouchable.

Maybe, he reasoned, God had forgiven him. Maybe all this was divine favour, proof of grace, not guilt.

The moment was almost holy.

Ex-convict Elijah “Eli” Penn is not a man you would expect to find preaching salvation behind a pulpit. Newly released from prison, he heads to the city, armed with a plan, a vision, knowledge of tax codes (thanks to a fellow accountant inmate who soon joins him on the outside) and human desperation, and charismatically reinvents himself as a trusted spiritual leader, slowly building a religious empire.

But what begins as a calculated move to gain control and legitimacy soon evolves into something far more complex. As Eli’s holy realm grows—which must mean that God loves him, as He isn’t stopping him—so does his appetite for darker misdeeds and risk taking, until, eventually, this imposter messiah will stop at nothing to preserve his hard-earned criminal masquerade. But as the stakes get higher, so does the tension within himself and his network, culminating in blood and betrayal.

With its bleak moral landscape, psychological tension, and sharp social commentary, Pa$tor is a gritty noir tale about corruption, faith, and the dangerous cost of redemption.
