Nell's Quiet Revolution

Set in 1970s Ireland, Nell’s Quiet Revolution takes the reader into the heart of a family’s life and one woman’s determined effort to change

its trajectory.

Nell has lived a life of quiet domesticity since her marriage to Ted. As time

goes on and their family keeps expanding, a deepening dissatisfaction

takes over. He had promised her that it was going to be great, but she was starting to lose faith. The house is now too small, and it is getting harder

to make ends meet. Things come to a head after the birth of their sixth child, a long-awaited daughter.

Nell sets out with determination, and a little subterfuge, to improve things. She gets a job, learns to drive and procures contraception. Little

does she know that she will soon become a protagonist in a culture shift that is slowly starting to unfold. As the once unassailable hegemony of the

Catholic Church is questioned and confronted, Nell, through acts of care and courage becomes part of a quiet but powerful revolution.

The novel explores themes of resilience, social change, faith, and the quiet strength of women working to improve their lives and those around them.

From Hamburgers to COVID: A Scientific Adventure

From Hamburgers to COVID is a memoir which traces Dr. Vikram Misra’s path from his childhood in Saskatoon—where his father pursued graduate studies on prairie grasshoppers—to his own career as a virologist. Blending personal anecdotes with scientific discovery, Misra reflects on the mentors, students, and colleagues who shaped his work, as well as the serendipitous turns that guided his research interests. His story moves from an early interest in microbiology through pioneering studies on herpesviruses and cancer, and ultimately into the world of bat-borne viruses, where questions of ecology, stress, and disease spillover converge.

The narrative culminates with the COVID-19 pandemic, which reframed much of Misra’s career-long interest in virus–host relationships. Drawing on decades of laboratory work, he recounts how his team adapted tools for tracking coronaviruses in animals and anticipated the dangers of viral spillover into new species. Alongside this scientific arc runs a more personal one—memories of family, mentors, cultural identity—giving the book a humanity often missing from scientific accounts.

Code for Humanity: A Form of Artificial Super Intelligence

For many of us, artificial intelligence has become a part of our everyday lives. We don’t have to get off the couch to turn the lights off, we use ChatGPT to break down complex tasks, and AI generates media for our entertainment. And as AI progresses advancements in medicine, technology, and beyond, we can see its capacity to create positive change for humanity. Our world is changing at rates we can’t even begin to fathom, but is this for the better? Author Paul MacPherson doesn’t think so.

Part warning, part manifesto, Code for Humanity: A Form of Artificial Super Intelligence looks at where our world is headed with our current use of AI. In vignettes, this book considers the advantages and disadvantages of different forms of artificial intelligence and outlines the many outcomes we could face if we continue to use them. The most probable? The extinction of humankind. Because even with the countless advancements AI has to offer, in the wrong hands, it has the power to destroy.

But it’s not too late. MacPherson introduces a new artificial super intelligence program, Code for Humanity, founded on human principles. With the help of experts, this program will provide economic, political, and social benefits to humanity, while reducing the dangers of destructive AI.

Thought-provoking and one of a kind, Code for Humanity urges that while history may repeat itself, with artificial intelligence, humankind has entered an unprecedented—and dangerous—time. This is our wake-up call.

The Final Renegade

In this thrilling final installment of The Agent Bennet Saga, Bennet’s whole world is starting to unravel. His loyalty to the Orphanage and its foundational mission is being strained to the limit by his evergrowing doubt and disillusionment as he is tasked with hunting down his former friends (and once faithful allies), who’ve turned their backs on the very agency that raised and trained them.

And when his twin brother, Collin, forces himself back into his life, a conflicted Bennet is forced to re-evaluate yet again his own understanding and faith in not only the Orphanage but in its leadership, their ultimate end goals, and his own place among them, unsure who he can trust or turn to when the line between friend and foe narrows to a razor’s edge.

The Final Renegade tells an intricate and emotional story of control, manipulation, survival, and sacrifice, as seen through the often-clouded lens of a young protagonist desperate to do “the right thing” ... if he can only figure out exactly what that might be.

In Pursuit of Being Happy, Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise: A Pocket Compendium of Masonic Papers

Why are we here? And what can Freemasonry, the West’s oldest fraternal organization, tell us about that eternal question?

I Flew Out of the Cuckoo's Nest: A Memoir

Elaine Ross grew up knowing she was adopted. Brought into a loving family on the Canadian prairies at eleven months old, she felt secure in the life she was given and the parents who chose her. For many years, that story felt complete.

Gradually curiosity took hold. Believing she had two older brothers, she began a decades long search for the family she had come from, following incomplete records, official rejections, and long silences.

What she discovered was unsettling. She was born in 1956 in a mental institution where her birth mother lived with severe mental illness during an era when women were routinely institutionalized and inadequately treated, and their stories erased.

After meeting members of her birth family, a visit to her mother’s grave resulted in a moment of clarity that she hadn’t been looking for but couldn’t ignore. An unexpected connection with the woman who brought her into the world left Ross with the subtle yet compelling need to follow the traces of her mothers life.

I Flew Out of the Cuckoo’s Nest is an emotionally honest story of one woman’s pursuit to discover where she came from, and to give voice to the mother she found. Ross explores the grief of adoption for everyone involved, and the reasons why so many adoptees feel the drive to find their families of origin.
