Renee is a single mother to twins Boone and Bonnie. Since the twins’ birth, the three of them have been a tight, close-knit family. But when the missing father arrives after twenty-three years of absence, the family’s insecurities, individual and whole, become more prominent.

Renee has wanted nothing more than the return of her Erebus, the god of darkness and the man she loves, but his return only raises more uncertainties. Bonnie has always felt like the odd one out, and her father’s return could help her with her burning questions—if she can open up to him. Boone’s party boy façade has been hiding the building pressure of being the man of the house and of being responsible for his sister and his mother.

While the family tries to reconcile their differences, a creeping evil strikes hot on Erebus’s heels, threatening to engulf them all. The three of them, along with Erebus and another hidden ally, now have to face what fate has in store for them. They can’t keep secrets forever. Sooner or later, all will come to light . . .

How do you stay upright when the very system you swore to uphold begins to shake beneath your feet?

In Tightrope, retired Deputy Chief Constable Jennifer Hyland offers a rare and unflinching look behind the badge. Through raw honesty and hard-won wisdom, she charts her twenty-six-year journey through Canadian policing—rising from a young recruit to one of the highest-ranking women in the profession—all while walking the fragile line between duty and despair, strength and vulnerability, silence and truth.

But this is more than a story about crime scenes and crisis calls. It’s about the invisible injuries: the quiet corrosion of identity from institutional politics, power struggles, and a culture that too often punishes authenticity. Diagnosed with PTSD and multiple sclerosis, Hyland came face-to-face with her breaking point—and chose not to shatter. Instead, she found a way forward that honoured both the work and her humanity.

Tightrope is a reckoning and a rallying cry. It’s for everyone who has walked a difficult path, for those wearing a uniform, those just entering policing, and those who’ve left—wondering if they were the only ones who struggled. It’s a mirror, a lifeline, and an invitation to heal. Because the truth is, you’re not alone—and there is strength, and even hope, on the other side of the storm.

Loss is a fact of life for everyone, but when the loss is unexpected and experienced far too soon, lives can be turned upside down—especially if important truths were close to the surface but never shared. S. James Wegg’s Loss Fuels a Life explores the theme of loss through an intense, suspenseful plot that combines a murder mystery with erotic drama and psychological reflection against a backdrop of classical music, professional rivalry, and interpersonal relationships.

Ivan Dorn is a thirtysomething freelance arts writer who travels the world, reviewing and interviewing a variety of artistic productions and personalities. Returning home to Toronto from an Asian assignment, his world collapses when he discovers his best friend, Rye, brutally murdered. Immediately, Ivan sets out on a quest to track down and punish the killer—regardless of the personal cost to him. But the closer Ivan gets to meting out justice, the closer he gets to unmasking himself. He is not the man he thought he was, and it takes Rye’s sudden death to cause the critic to finally confront himself.

Interspersed throughout the narrative are concert reviews, the filming of erotic scenes, and amateur sleuthing, all woven together to create a tale that twists and turns down unexpected paths. Loss Fuels a Life is a provocative and emotionally charged novel intended for mature readers, offering an unflinching exploration of passion, grief, and self-discovery.
