When the first of three murder victims is discovered in the outskirts of their city, Detectives Baxter and Godbout quickly find themselves desperate for answers. As Canadian veterans of the Great War, they immediately recognize the telltale signs of chlorine gas poisoning on the victim’s flesh. But who would carry out such a war crime in peacetime? And where would they strike next? These two veterans are central to the tale, one blinded by German gas in 1915, one wounded by a German artillery shell two years later. Now, employed by the Winnipeg Police Service, the Blind and the Lame become the reader’s “leads” in this penetrating and disturbing investigation.
On the east coast of Canada, a battle over her grandfather’s estate turns into a battle for her life when Haley Hickey is shot at through her kitchen window. Haunted by a patient and malicious stalker, Haley finds her life crumbling around her and flees to the only place she’s ever really felt safe: her Grampy’s old cabin up in the mountains. As she tries to come to terms with her grief, rejuvenate the homestead and help manage the woodlot her Grampy left her, the stalker moves in closer. Somehow, they always seem to be able to get at her, no matter how many locked doors, defensive dogs, and sturdy walls are in the way. An old flame steps up to protect her, and a lone officer tries to untangle the trail as the stalker’s threats become mental torture. But all the support and protection in the world is meaningless when the person who has it out for Haley turns out to be closer to her than anyone had guessed…
Unapologetic is a bold, incisive, and deeply validating look at what it means to lead as a woman in workplaces still shaped by male‑centric norms. Drawing on three decades in aviation, energy, and industrial operations, the author dismantles the myth of the “neutral” workplace and names the forces that quietly shape women’s careers: invisible labour, biased leadership standards, corporate gaslighting, and the emotional load they’re expected to carry. With a sharp, conversational voice, the book reassures women that they are not the problem—the system is—and offers practical tools to lead without shrinking, over-functioning, or apologizing. Each chapter pairs insight with actionable guidance, including scripts, boundary‑setting strategies, and punchy callouts that capture the lived experience of being “the only,” “the first,” or the one expected to hold everything together. The structure moves from naming the system, to navigating it, to leading beyond it. Topics include visibility without self‑promotion, saying no as a leadership act, securing sponsorship, surviving layoffs, and leading with empathy without becoming everyone’s therapist. Written for women in mid‑career and beyond—especially those in male‑dominated or traditional environments who are relied on, underestimated, and increasingly unwilling to contort themselves to fit outdated norms—Unapologetic offers both validation and a path forward. It speaks directly to those who see the patterns clearly, want to lead with authority without self‑sacrifice, and rarely see themselves reflected in leadership narratives, including under-represented women. At its core, this is a rallying cry, a toolkit, and a reframing of power—designed to help women lead with more clarity, more courage, and zero apology.
What happens when you pack up a sixty-year-old Corvette, squeeze in just enough luggage (but somehow still bring the most important things), and set off on a bucket-list adventure down Route 66? Let’s find out! Join Nancy and Paul Garvey on the trip of a lifetime along historic Route 66, driving a 1959 Corvette convertible and embracing every surprise that comes their way. What unfolds is far more than a road trip. Through a rich collection of photographs, reflections, and memories, Nancy captures the spirit of the open road: the people they meet, the unexpected detours (including a carburetor fire), and the quiet moments of wonder. From small-town courthouses in Oklahoma to the striking vistas of the American Southwest, this journey becomes a bridge between past and present. As the miles roll by, Nancy reflects not only on the adventure at hand, but on the generations who traveled these lands before—by wagon, by necessity, and with far fewer comforts. Told from the passenger-seat perspective of a self-described “non-car-guy” mom, this book offers a refreshing and relatable take on a classic route, blending travel, history, family legacy, and humor. Complete with planning notes, personal anecdotes, and a special addendum from a later journey through Colorado and New Mexico, this volume is both a keepsake and an inspiration, a celebration of the road and the memories made along the way.
End-stage kidney disease touches many lives, and many patients turn to kidney transplantation as their treatment of choice. The journey to a successful kidney transplant is long and complicated. Kidney transplant recipients and donors depend on their transplant team’s expertise and advice at every stage, but may wish to further empower themselves with additional information. Pamphlets and brochures provide some guidance, while medical textbooks are largely inaccessible. This book attempts to fill the void between these two ends of the information spectrum by speaking to curious and motivated patients, propelling them towards greater success. Almost every kidney transplant-related topic a patient may want to know about is covered in just the right amount of detail. “Your Kidney Transplant Journey” is a comprehensive yet friendly companion to patients before and after receiving their gift of life. Using a question-and-answer format, the book shares advice honed by thirty years of the author’s experience in caring for kidney transplant donors and recipients. Sharing information most often asked about is emphasized along with messages of positivity and encouragement.
