Inspired by the author’s ancestry, this epic novel explores love, tragedy, and resilience in the lives of a large family before, during, and after World War Two in Scotland. When a Royal Scots soldier is sent to Hong Kong to help bolster the British Army, the British are eventually defeated in a gruesome battle. After the fall of Hong Kong while he is imprisoned by the Japanese for nearly four years he designs a tapestry to honour each POW who died in his Battalion. Just when he feels he can no longer go on living, a serendipitous encounter with a friend's sister becomes his inspiration to survive each tormented day in the camps.

Meanwhile, a young Scottish lass is struggling with the hardships of wartime and the atrocities she and her family must face every day. After the war, as she picks up the broken pieces of a world she no longer recognises, she learns of a life-changing connection she shares with the Royal Scots soldier.

A testament to the strength of the human spirit amidst adversity, this book illustrates how people can rise to challenges and survive the most difficult of times, whether it’s a young woman faced with the grief of losing precious family members or a young soldier navigating the horrors of war.

Beneath the streets of Nazareth, a routine archaeological dig uncovers a hidden chamber untouched for two thousand years. Inside is a finely crafted wooden chest containing items powerful enough to ignite a global race for possession. Forensic and archaeological analyses could prove the find to be the most important discovery of all Israeli antiquities and, indeed, of all the world.

Dr. Leah Belyard, a brilliant American archaeologist, and David Abrams, her Israeli counterpart, are fierce rivals forced into a reluctant partnership when the discovery threatens to rewrite both science and faith. When a nefarious antiquities collector targets the artifact, the story becomes a web of treachery, car chases, heists, and sting operations, putting the scholars in mortal danger.

Blending meticulous archaeological realism and forensic analysis with cinematic scenes, the past collides with modern technology, and the question is not just what they have found and what it means, but who gets to decide what the world is allowed to know.

The God Strand: Unearthing the Code is a fast-paced, high-stakes archaeological thriller where science challenges belief, discovery invites danger, and the truth may be more explosive than anyone is prepared to face.

Most business books teach leaders how to build when conditions are stable. Panic Mode to Profit is for the moments when stability is gone. Payroll is at risk. Investor confidence is fading. Teams are losing trust. The market has shifted faster than the current strategy can survive. Every decision matters, and every delay creates more damage.

In those moments, panic is not the problem. Unstructured panic is.

This book gives founders, executives, and senior leaders a practical operating framework for making high stakes decisions in the middle of pressure. It shows how to slow the chaos, read the real signals, protect what still matters, and turn a dangerous interruption into a strategic reset.

Drawing from the realities of critical industries including healthcare, defense, aerospace, and semiconductor manufacturing, Panic Mode to Profit turns crisis leadership into a repeatable decision architecture leaders can use when the cost of guessing is too high.

Readers will learn how to:

• recognize early warning signs before a crisis becomes acute

• stabilize operations without panic driven cuts

• make decisions when information is incomplete and pressure is high

• separate survival instinct from real strategy

• understand how fear, ego, isolation, and fatigue distort judgment

• rebuild clarity, confidence, and momentum when the business is under strain

At its core, Panic Mode to Profit is built on one belief:

A crisis does not have to become the end of what you built. With structure, discipline, and the right decisions, it can become the moment that reveals your strongest advantage.

Richly textured and lyrically written, Prairie Sonata is the story of Mira Adler and her journey from innocence to experience. Mira grows up in post–World War II Canada, in a close-knit Manitoba community founded by secular Jews from Eastern Europe. At the heart of her journey is the friendship that she develops with her teacher, Chaver B, a recent immigrant from Prague who is mysterious and intriguing and who Mira believes harbours a painful secret. Chaver B becomes deeply intwined in Mira’s life, and their relationship evolves, especially after he offers to teach her to play the violin.

Little by little, Mira chips away at Chaver B’s past and soon comes to the shocking realization of what brought him to Manitoba. What she learns about his history both outrages and saddens her, yet she cannot stop herself from uncovering the truth about his life. While Chaver B attempts to reconcile his feelings of guilt, Mira struggles to understand a world that seems to be vastly different from the nurturing and seemingly untroubled one in which she grows up. And despite what she learns about Chaver B, herself, and the world around her, when she is older, Mira yearns for the chance to go back to her childhood.

A coming-of-age story about music, love, friendship, community, and religion, Prairie Sonata is a riveting tale that will resonate with and captivate the reader.

When she and her friends find Lykos, one of the missing Guardians, in the Great Library of Ataraxia, they hope he’ll finally have the answers they need.

At home in Toronto in 1997, sixty-year-old Maude Thorvaldson is jolted back to the most pivotal chapter of her life when a radio interview with an old friend unlocks a rush of Yukon memories—and the girl she used to be.

It’s the summer of 1957, and nineteen-year-old Maude heads north to work on a federal experimental farm at Mile 1019 on the Alaska Highway. The only woman among six summer students, she’s hungry for “experience” before she returns home to a tidy future—and an engagement waiting in the wings.

With no women’s quarters, she’s placed in a couple’s spare bedroom, then pulled into the orbit of the “Bunkhouse Boys,” becoming the focus of their petty rivalries, rough humour, and pent-up sexual energy.

As the days stretch longer under the northern lights, Maude is pulled between Takasaki (“Tak”), a brilliant, lonely researcher whose friendship with Maude threatens to explode into something else, a handsome RCMP constable who keeps drifting in and out of her life, and Roscoe, an unstable farm worker who fixates on Maude in ways she can’t laugh off.

Told through letters, diary entries, and sharp asides from Maude’s older, wiser self, Let the Sufi Flout is a funny, frank, and deeply human coming-of-age story about desire, freedom, and the messes we make while learning how to live.

Most individuals who embark on a health care career discover quite early that their working journey is one of responding to others’ needs. No matter what the circumstance or where the location, health care is a global need requiring a response from those prepared to serve others. The Taylors’ health care careers have taken them across Canada and throughout the globe over a period of more than fifty-years. Many of their global deployments have been to isolated settings with low-resources, to disasters, to war zones and to detention centres, where a wide perspective of health care response is required. At different times they have worked with faith-based missions, university programs, professional NGO’s and the Red Cross. Their faith in God and in His love for all humanity, and the confidence that He is always at work for good, has been a significant factor motivating their readiness to respond. Here are highlighted memories and reflections on what they have learned on their journey.

Leadership Turnaround is part memoir, part leadership manual, and part call to action for leaders and institutions. It grew out of Dr. Ifie’s lived experience transforming the long-dormant Société Générale Bank of Nigeria (SGBN) into Heritage Banking Limited, one of the most remarkable institutional resurrections in Nigerian financial history.

Written over seven years of research and reflections, the book explores not just the mechanics of organizational recovery, but the deeper human and psychological dimensions of what it truly takes to turn things around.

The core themes are: Why vision without the right mental framework is “hallucination,” and how leaders must cultivate a possibility mindset even when circumstances say otherwise. Secondly, moving beyond the “heroic individual” model toward building teams where leadership is shared and multiplied. Also, the human side of leading through crisis and how leaders can unlock potential in themselves and their teams. Finally, the last two themes are the role of inner belief in sustaining leaders through periods strategy cannot illuminate and legacy as what enduring leadership ultimately leaves behind.

The book is grounded in the Heritage Bank turnaround story, including its eventual collapse and Dr. Ifie did not shy away from failure, calling it one of the book’s most important chapters. It features a foreword by John Adair, the world-renowned leadership authority and it is deeply rooted in the African context, yet universally applicable and written as a letter to the rising generation of African leaders. It blends rigorous frameworks with raw, personal experience.

The book is for executives inheriting struggling organizations, young professionals in Africa seeking practical leadership guidance, students of leadership wanting theory tested in real life.

Language is messy. Idioms are worse. We use them recklessly without asking ourselves why we do it. We expect everyone to understand us, but many of these phrases have outlived the societies that created them. Why is Friday the 13th unlucky? Why do people throw salt over their shoulder? How can you drop the ball at work but still be left holding the ball, especially after your boss just threw you a curve ball?

Sh*t People Don’t Know pulls back the curtain on a language that behaves less like a rulebook and more like an inside joke. This is an entertaining deep dive into the strange origins of the words, phrases, customs, and superstitions woven into everyday English. You’ll also uncover the forgotten logic behind traditions, the surprising roots of major holidays, and the quiet fingerprints of secret societies, old-world rituals, and religion that still shapes how we speak and behave today. Some stories are hilarious, others are dark, and a few might make you squirm.

Whether you’re a native speaker or just learning, this book reveals language for what it really is: a living record of human behaviour that is illogical, fascinating, and often ridiculous. Eventually, you’ll catch yourself thinking … “Well sh*t, I didn’t know that.”
