“Nanny, why is your hair grey?”

“Well, there’s a story . . .”

As Nanny begins reading a story to her grandson, he interrupts with lots of questions about her body, such as why her hairs are grey and why she has two chins. These questions force Nanny to reflect on her personal journey through life and all the ways her body has changed over the years. Answering his questions in a light-hearted, positive, and sometimes humorous way, Nanny shows her grandson that every body has its own unique story.

Through a poetic conversation between grandmother and grandson, Rhonda Kay Comeau illustrates the importance of body positivity and the messaging we pass along to children in our responses to their natural curiosity.

Freya and her sisters—Scara, Fina, Tauna, Pohla and Aidelle—escaped from slavery in Chimera and have proven themselves to be skilled warriors. Despite their prominence in the town of Haghill, Freya struggles to find meaningful work for her and her sisters—until their traveling companion, the halfling Fordoc, secures them a job: escorting a caravan of halflings to the city of Edradour and then back to their home in Cornerbrook. Relief at having work sours quickly as Freya clashes with the caravan leader, Bordoc. The halflings insist on stopping often and early, taxing Freya’s resources and the group’s safety.

The road between Haghill and Edradour is fraught with danger. Working together, the group must fend off deadly encounters from creatures, living and undead. But it is humans who prove the most troublesome. A rebel faction plagues Haghill and the surrounding areas. The rebel leader, Wolfric, has sent his heavily armored knights to steal, take hostages, and disturb the peace of the land. Wolfric, however, did not count on a group of resourceful half-orc caravan guards.

As dangerous as the roads may be, Freya and her sisters are confident fighters. However, out of armor, among the people of Edradour and Haghill, Freya must master the art of difficult negotiations with troublesome halflings and flirtatious scenarios with lieutenants and merchants. Freya must also contend with the fact that her party is growing. No longer the slave responsible only for the survival of her sisters, Freya is building her business, her connections, and her list of foes.

The Trouble with Halflings continues The Adventures of Freya and Her Sisters that began with Orc Hai!

Forget the tuxedos and shaken martinis. This isn’t fiction—it’s colder, quieter, and much more real.

As an intelligence operator during the tense Cold War period, Mike served as a Peacekeeper and operated covertly behind the Iron Curtain, where silence spoke louder than words. Later, he participated in the Afghanistan War as an Electronic Warfare Intelligence Analyst. His story isn’t pulled from Bond movies or Smiley novels — it’s rooted in the real tension of secrecy, service, and warfare.

Mike is a founding member of the modern Canadian Intelligence Branch, established on October 29, 1982, as the successor to the former Canadian Intelligence Corps, and was assigned Intelligence Branch number 230. Hence the title of the book. This memoir unveils the hidden world of Canadian military intelligence, shaped in part by its first Colonel Commandant, the renowned Sir William Stephenson—code name Intrepid—whose influence went beyond ceremonial duties. From encrypted briefings to moral dilemmas, Mike offers rare insight into a profession rooted in trust, restraint, and the burden of knowing too much.

When doctors, virologists, and health organizations make claims, we take them as scientific fact. But what if this is not the case? What if the medicine, as we know it today, is based on false principles?

Not Science, Not Scientists exposes how modern medicine and virology have falsely claimed the mantle of science, adopting its language, symbols, and authority while lacking its rigorous foundation. Challenging the popular belief that medical and biological disciplines represent genuine science, analytical chemist/scientist Saeed Qureshi shows how they rely on assumptions, opinions, and statistical manipulation rather than the direct, measurable study of substances. The integrity of true science, he argues, relies on chemistry, physics, and mathematics—the disciplines that deal with matter, energy, and the laws that govern their behaviour. Using laboratory theatrics and complex jargon, medicine and virology have dressed themselves up, distorting terms like “isolation,” “virus,” and “evidence-based medicine” to justify unscientific practices.

Drawing on real-world examples and his decades of experience in analytical chemistry, Dr. Qureshi show us how the misuse of science has misled the public, corrupted medical research, and corroded trust in what was once considered the most objective of disciplines. Ultimately, Not Science, Not Scientists is a call to restore intellectual honesty and scientific integrity to medicine by returning to chemistry—the true and original science—as its foundation. Only by grounding medical practice in genuine chemical understanding can it once again serve truth, reason, and humanity.

A missing friend.

A fractured memory.

A past that refuses to let go.

Mackenzie Douglas wakes in a hospital in Istanbul with no memory of the night her friend Copper disappeared. Months later, unable to shake the trauma of Copper’s disappearance, she flees to southern Spain to lose herself in the Alhambra, the focus of her master’s thesis.

But the Alhambra’s legendary palaces hold secrets of their own. A seemingly harmless tisane, meant to quiet the nightmares that plague her sleep, instead draws Mackenzie into vivid dreams of a spirited Moorish princess navigating forbidden love, betrayal, and political upheaval in fifteenth-century Spain—a story that begins to intertwine with her own in ways she cannot explain.

As danger and intrigue close in around the princess, fragments of Mackenzie’s lost night in Istanbul resurface, revealing that the threat she escaped has followed her to Spain.

Caught between two timelines, two destinies, and lives that may span centuries, Mackenzie realizes that to survive, she must face the darkest truth of all:

Some histories return not to haunt us—but to claim us.

Human beings have reached an unprecedented moment. After exponential leaps in technology, we’ve been thrust into a world of instant and overwhelming communication. As a result, we’re overloaded with information, and more and more often, people seem willing to believe what is untrue.

Rethinking Thinking provides an illuminating response to this moment. Hugh Roddis’s theory of human behaviour and evolution puts communication and belief at the centre. Through careful consideration of human history, our singular abilities as human beings, and the effects—good and bad—of how we developed, Roddis offers a compelling new understanding of where we are, how we got here, and, critically, how we can best move forward.

The odds were stacked against her from the beginning. Born in rural British Columbia, Ellen spent much of her childhood with her siblings in an old, small, one-bedroom trailer without power or running water. Raised primarily by an alcoholic father, after losing her mother at a young age, Ellen was—in her own words—the “weird, dirty, bush kid who wore dirty clothes to school … and that nobody wanted to play with.” By the age of ten, Ellen had already been sexually abused by several people, also by the age ten, she had her first experience with drugs. By grade six, she was drinking regularly, seeking to become oblivious to the world around her—often as her father’s drinking buddy.

At just seventeen, Ellen became pregnant with her first daughter, and she soon found herself in a series of abusive relationships. Along the way, her second daughter was born, and as she continued to struggle with alcoholism and depression, her daughters also lost their chances for a normal childhood.

Yet amazingly, Ellen’s story is testimony that second chances are possible, as she shares how she found help through meditation, community programs, and especially Alcoholics Anonymous. Told with honesty and insight, Ellen’s story is ultimately one of hope: I am a F*cking Miracle is proof that our past does not define us, and it is possible to live a sober life full of love and inner peace.
