It is said that one day, wherever River walks, the earth will turn green again. In the dying wasteland that is rural Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in the year 2036, this seems impossible. But where others see impossibilities, twelve-year-old River cultivates hope. She sees what a new world can be, even when the oppressive regime known as the Elect enslaves more and more people every day. Even if it means sacrificing herself along the way. In this second installment of the Taggak Journey trilogy, River has left Gran Flo and her swamp far behind. She’s joined by her cousin Tag, their guide to shadow running, a means to travel in secrecy requiring complete focus. But without proper food and sleep, how will they maintain the necessary concentration? And then there’s Dr. Andrea Parker, the keeper of stories—and resentment. Left to fester, her resentment might just ruin everything. As these unlikely heroes struggle forward, will they stay loyal to each other and to themselves, taking Flo’s voice and vision as their compass? Will River walk her path and fulfill Flo’s prophecy? River Becomes Shadow is a story of devotion and resilience in the face of heartbreak and brutality. It encourages readers to look into the not-so-distant future, at the very real possibility of an apocalyptic world, and believe that we are enough to change it, no matter how broken we may be.

Indigenous history repeats itself The legendary Tecumseh was the first North American Indian leader to attempt to unite tribes and thwart the relentless intrusion of colonial settlement. He died fighting for his cause, having been betrayed by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous allies. Two centuries later the charismatic Billy Favell is elected National Chief of the Congress of First Nations, Canada’s foremost Indigenous political organization. Peshu Butler, a direct descendant of Tecumseh, is hired as a bodyguard/confidant for the National Chief. He learns that his boss and other First Nations leaders are willing to collude with the federal government and betray the interests of the people they are elected to represent. At a critical moment, Peshu sees a shooting star flash overhead, like the comet that appeared on the night of Tecumseh’s birth. Will it signify the beginning of real change for First Nations or a continuation of their frustrating quest for justice?

Are You Following Someone Else’s Dream? Or Is It Finally Time to Start Building Your Own? In a world where anxiety, burnout, and uncertainty define the transition from school to adulthood, it’s no wonder so many young people feel lost. With the pressure to ‘succeed’ building before we’ve even defined what success truly means to us, the path forward can feel like walking a tightrope without a safety net. This book is a conversation starter, a mindset shifter, and a quiet rebellion against the narrow definitions of success that has been handed down to us from generations past. It doesn’t pretend to have all the answers—but it will help you ask better questions.

Combining personal reflection with research-informed insight, What to Do if You Don’t Know What to Do is an exploration into why so many people feel lost in the modern-day workplace—and offers a perspective shifting framework for reclaiming a stronger sense of self and direction. Drawn from personal experience, deep reflection, and timeless wisdom, this guide is for the daydreamers, the late bloomers, and the eternally restless. Whether you read cover-to-cover or one section at a time, this is a practical guide for anyone seeking to move forward with intention. Read it in bites. Reflect deeply. Come back often. You’re not behind—you’re just getting started.
