Suzy and the Time of Changes

The third and final book in The Perilous Times Saga finds Suzy shattered by the death of the friend with whom, in an ill-starred adventure, she almost succeeded in destroying “the purest concentration of evil on earth.” Suzy blames her willfulness for the tragedy but also suspects that her parents have betrayed her. Now she must learn how to carry on while bearing the burden of guilt and mistrust.

Sensing that she is heading toward a final showdown with the figure behind the dark forces that threaten the world, Suzy must also continue to care for the turnip, who has become more and more a part of her. Indeed, trying to figure out where she ends and the turnip begins is an increasing challenge. And with the Resistance dangerously divided over whether to use violence, Suzy struggles to learn whom to trust, when to fight, and how to meet her ultimate challenge: confronting the Magister on her own.

Can she resist the voice urging her to “quit, then. Give up. It’s all pointless”?

Suzy and the Time of Changes is a thrilling story about priorities, loyalties, and resisting tyranny for YA readers, but it is also a profound study in courage, faith, and moral agency—a resonant conclusion to a thought-provoking, immersive adventure in the spirit of classic ethical fantasy.

Being known as the fastest gun in the west, and killing his fair share of men in the process, makes Wild Bill Hickok a constant target for his enemies seeking revenge. So, when he rides into the town of Deadwood Gulch in the Dakota Territory, he always has to keep an eye on his back.

Like many people in the late 1800s, Bill has set out to make his fortune in the gold rush, and Deadwood is bustling with gold miners, saloons, and brothels. When Bill fails to stake a claim on the river for gold panning, he resorts to his first love in order to make some quick cash: poker. With his good friends Calamity Jane and Charlie Utter keeping him company, the former lawman finds himself winning at the tables, and keeping the saloons in business with his love of whiskey. Wild Bill is trying to save enough money to provide a good life for him and his wife for years to come, but his enemies have other ideas.

The Dead Man’s Hand: A Moment in Time is the fascinating second book in Katheryn Shelly’s Past Life Journey series.

When The Voice Fell Silent

What happens when a voice you have known and loved your whole life suddenly falls silent?

When Darshani Ramjan’s beloved brother, Donald, is diagnosed with aggressive tongue and throat cancer, life changes for their entire family. Determined to do everything they could for him, Darshani, her sister, and their mother brought Donald from Guyana to Canada in search of treatment and hope. What followed were months filled with hospital visits, difficult decisions, precious family moments, and eventually, a goodbye they were never ready for.

When the Voice Fell Silent is more than a story about cancer. It is Darshani’s deeply personal account of loving and caring for her brother through one of the hardest times of their lives. She shares the painful moments, but also the love, laughter, memories, and strength that helped their family keep going.

Donald may have lost his voice during his illness, but he never lost his place within his family. His love, his memories, and the life he lived continue to speak for him.

This memoir is for anyone who has cared for someone they love, experienced the pain of losing a loved one, or tried to find a way forward while carrying grief in their heart.

It's Our Time

“It’s our time.”

That was the mantra from Trevor Harris leading up to, and throughout, the 2025 CFL season.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders’ starting quarterback was proven prophetic on Nov. 16, 2025, when he earned Grey Cup MVP honours after guiding the Green and White to a 25-17 victory over the Montreal Alouettes at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg.

The fifth championship-game victory in Roughriders history capped a 193-day journey that began with rookie camp in Saskatoon on May 7.

Although the season peaked with the Grey Cup win, the celebration was just beginning. The Roughriders touched all corners of the province during the Grey Cup Community Tour, sharing the trophy with fans far and wide.

The complete story is told in a book that is titled, appropriately enough, IT’S OUR TIME.

Holder of the Sacred Whorl: Healing Realms of the Cosmic Weaver in Second Wave Feminist Fiction

Follow the threads of Spider Woman, the Cosmic Weaver, into an intricate and transformative world. Here, Janice Young draws on the pioneering work of Mary Daly and the rich tapestry of second-wave feminist thought to explore how Spider Woman imagery and textile metaphors—spinning, weaving, and mending—have shaped women’s writing, creativity, and consciousness.

From the loom of myth to the pages of fiction, women writers have spun new linguistic landscapes and narratives that challenge oppression and celebrate interconnectedness. Through cross-cultural analysis and close readings of contemporary women’s literature, Holder of the Sacred Whorl reveals how the archetype of the spider and the act of weaving serve as powerful symbols of healing and the reclamation of feminine power.

Part scholarly inquiry, part spiritual exploration, this work is a journey through women’s creativity, the resurgence of Goddess spirituality, and the enduring power of story as a tool for personal and communal transformation. For students of Women’s Studies, aficionados of Goddess symbolism, and anyone drawn to the art of storytelling as a healing modality, Holder of the Sacred Whorl offers inspiration and a guide to spinning a new weave of meaning in our lives.

Hijacked by Feminism: Reclaim your masculinity

When men stop being men and lose their masculinity, they become weak, empty, and purposeless. They second-guess their own nature, afraid to offend, to lead, and to simply be men. In Hijacked by Feminism, Yaser Qandeel critiques modern feminism and the cultural narratives that have weakened men, dismantled traditional values, and created a society hostile to masculinity. He pulls no punches as he exposes the double standards in the justice system and gender politics while defending the natural roles and differences between men and women, aiming for balance and respect.

Qandeel argues that radical feminism is damaging and that tearing down the traditional values and roles that once kept families and society strong weakens rather than strengthens society. He has witnessed firsthand how modern culture has systematically undermined men, demonized masculinity, and destroyed fairness in relationships, careers, and the justice system. Too many men are shamed into silence but silence is exactly what the broken system depends on. He insists that if we truly want a better future, we must bring back respect for the roles that once gave men and women purpose and children stability, and he provides steps for men to reclaim their strength, dignity, and place in the world.

Hijacked by Feminism is both a warning and a call to action: to defend the truth in age of lies, to restore balance between men and women, and to lead men back to the fearless, unshakable masculinity that once forged nations.

Paul and His Bunch of Misfits: The Dangerous Bush Garden

A little patch of forgotten earth...

Set in rural Guyana, The Dangerous Bush Garden is a coming-of-age story told through the eyes of a determined nine-year-old boy growing up close to the land.

What begins as a simple plan to clear a small patch of bush soon becomes something far larger. Faced with a tangled wall of thorn, hardened shrubs, and gnarled trees, the boys discover that adventure is rarely as neat as it sounds. Barefoot and undersized, they swing cutlasses nearly as big as themselves, learning quickly that the land does not give way easily.

Along the way, curiosity leads them into trenches, deep bush, and unexpected danger. Snakes, alligators, and poisonous insects are part of the landscape, just as much as laughter, friendship, and stolen moments of freedom. Between hard work and close calls, they build rafts, cook in the bush, and chase the kind of adventure only childhood allows.

Warm, reflective, and grounded in lived experience, The Dangerous Bush Garden is a story about growing up, facing fear, and discovering what it means to do a man’s work while still being a boy.

Magnificat: Under the Guanacaste Tree

MAGNIFICAT: Under the Guanacaste Tree tells the stories of two women from different backgrounds and class statuses who find themselves fighting their personal and societal battles in this riveting saga about inequality, oppression, misogyny, and the power of love. Set in the fictional war-torn country of Ixcheltlán, the narrative takes readers through the deserts and jungles of Mexico and Central America, exposing them to the wretched poverty and heartbreaking violence of those volatile southern regions that play such a role in the formation of these women’s consciousnesses.

Sara, a Canadian woman, embarks on a long trek by bus, boat, and on foot to save her eleven-year-old daughter, who has enigmatically reached out to her with a plea for help. During her journey, she is shocked by the poverty, hopelessness, and violence that confronts her. When she finally reaches Ixcheltlán, she begins to serve the poor with other women who are just as passionate about justice and freedom for the marginalized.

Through her contacts, Sara learns of the work and wisdom of the campesina peace-maker Maria Luz, a poor woman with a rich vision for equality, who desires to bring freedom to her people through a message of peace and reconciliation. Eventually, the shadow of death descends on them both, threatening to destroy all they have set out to accomplish.

Suspenseful and impactful, MAGNIFICAT: Under the Guanacaste Tree will keep readers guessing to the very end.

Truths & Legends: A Mikulski Family Story

The narrative begins close to home, with immediate family stories that illustrate the unique experiences of the Polish-Canadian diaspora. Author Waldemar (Wally) Mikulski then takes readers on a genealogical quest through modern Poland, honouring individual family members by viewing their lives through the lens of some of history’s most defining moments—World Wars I and II.

Featuring archival family photos and presented in a distinct format, the book is many books in one. It examines everything from surname origins to heraldry and DNA, ultimately seeking to answer the universal questions: “Who am I?” and “Who are my people?”

“Truths & Legends bridges history and memory,” says Wally. “The ‘truths’ represent historically verified stories, while the ‘legends’ are rooted in family lore.” The book is a must-read for anyone interested in genealogy and history, and especially for those bearing the surname Mikulski.

An Avian Alphabet: An Illustrated Anthology of Canadian Poetry

An Avian Alphabet began as a body of art work, twenty-six bird images, one for each letter of the alphabet, created through the printmaking process of woodcut. Hung as a frieze around the gallery walls, they formed the anchor for an art exhibition about birds at a small community art gallery in Fort Langley, B.C. in 2019. The exhibition was enriched by an evening of poetry where six poets read their works inspired by the birds in An Avian Alphabet. Later, to transform the project into a book, nine more poets were invited to complete the avian alphabet of poetry. This is a second edition; the first edition was hand-printed as a fine art book by Barbarian Press.

Hockey for a Lifetime

Hockey Hall of Famer Bill Christian has lived a remarkable life. From the frozen river of Warroad, Minnesota to winning the 1960 Olympics in Squaw Valley, California, Bill’s story is one of passion, determination, community, and love for the game that shaped his world: hockey.

In this stunning memoir, Bill recounts his humble beginnings and his introduction to hockey as a child in rural Minnesota. Before professional leagues, training camps, and financial compensation for career players, Bill and his brothers honed their relationship to the game, playing wherever they could. Passion and grit brought Bill and his brother Roger to the 1960 Olympics where they won the first gold medal in hockey for their country. Building his career during the volatile years of the Cold War, Bill recounts stories from behind the Iron Curtain, bridging cultural gaps through hockey, and offering a glimpse into a world now seen only in film.

From his hometown ice rink to the Hockey Hall of Fame, Bill has traveled the world, built a successful hockey stick business from the ground up, and cultivated a love for the game, helping bring the United States to the world stage as a hockey powerhouse.

This memoir also includes Bill's first-hand accounts of watching his son, David Christian, win gold at the 1980 Olympics and his grandson, Brock Nelson, win gold at the 2026 Olympics, becoming three generations of Team USA Olympics hockey gold together.

where driftwood Howls: An Intrepid Seeker's Story of Survival

Some children learn lullabies. She learned how to survive.

In Where Driftwood Howls, Jaclyn Wragg traces a childhood shaped by addiction, instability, and the quiet, suffocating rules of silence. Home is unpredictable. Love arrives tangled with fear. Safety belongs to other families—never quite hers. Growing up means learning to read every room, every mood, every unspoken warning.

Survival, however, doesn’t end with childhood.

As Wragg moves into adulthood, the past refuses to remain in the past. Chronic illness settles into her body like a long echo. Relationships strain under patterns inherited long before she had language for them. The cost of endurance surfaces in unexpected ways—through grief, memory, and the slow realization that breaking a family cycle may demand more courage than surviving it ever did.

Moving between lived moments and hard-won reflection, Wragg examines what it means to rebuild identity when the foundations of belonging were never secure. Her story doesn’t promise easy healing or tidy redemption. Instead, it confronts the complicated terrain of generational trauma, the body’s memory, and the deliberate act of redefining family.

Driftwood isn’t born weathered. It becomes that way after years of relentless tides.

Where Driftwood Howls is a memoir about endurance, inheritance, and the quiet rebellion of refusing to pass pain forward—even when the past continues to call.
