  • Prema

    A Search for Love by Sine Nomine

    Prema (प्रेमा) is the Sanskrit word for love. Written over fifteen years, Prema is a memoir told through a series of letters that reflect on love, loss, and personal growth — this author's story is shaped by her lived experience, but one many of us will recognise. Sometimes taking a spiritual and philosophical approach to her healing journey, she explores how her relationships — with family, friends, and herself — shape her understanding of who we are and how we move through the world. Each letter focuses on a different relationship, tracing her evolution, as she examines painful experiences with honesty and a commitment to forgiveness, without leaning into bitterness. Prema invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of love and to consider how awareness, compassion, and self-understanding can guide the way as we navigate life.

  • Shrinks

    Tales of Transition by Bill Koch

    Psychologists are trained to help others survive grief, trauma, and despair. But what happens when the healers find themselves lost in their own lives? Spanning three decades in Vancouver—from 1981 to 2010—this collection of stories follows three psychologists, David, Ebba, and Ben, as they navigate the delicate line between professional roles and personal upheaval. Bound by friendship and a shared vocation, they guide patients through grief, trauma, obsession, depression, and fear while their lives beyond the consulting room grow increasingly turbulent: • David anchors his family during his fight to maintain a fragile marriage. • Ebba navigates motherhood and divorce, wrestling with a longing that reshapes her understanding of love and loyalty. • When his wife leaves him, Ben confronts the same crushing depression he has spent his career treating in others. Interwoven with their journeys are the unfolding deeply human dramas of their patients’ lives: Debbie’s crippling guilt, Thelma’s incandescent grief, Darvesh’s disabling compulsions, and Sunny’s battle to reclaim her life. Drawing on decades of professional insight, Shrinks: Tales of Transition explores the paradox at the heart of therapy: those who help others heal must eventually confront their own wounds. For fans of Koch’s novel Hired Gun, this collection also offers a window into the early career of David Lipman. As the years pass and the stories unfold, David, Ebba, and Ben must tackle the question that echoes through every consulting room: how does one face suffering and still choose hope?

  • The Great Begending

    by JJ Sykora

    Having improbably escaped ritual sacrifice the day before, Montrealer, Oscar Philpott wakes at midnight the 1st of November, with sharpened senses, a strange clarity, and a force he can’t ignore pulling him toward New York City. By sunrise, he’ll be the only thing standing between humanity and Satan’s right-hand man–Samhain–the Lord of Darkness. Samhain has unleashed Operation DESPAIR on New York City–wreaking deadly havoc and infiltrating powerful institutions to fracture society from within–attempting to drive a desperate humanity looking for salvation from this spreading apocalyptic nightmare into his arms. An unlikely hero, Oscar and his exceptional dog Micky make their way south, his skills and awareness of the fight ahead evolving as he heads into the fray. He soon realizes that, for some reason, he’s been chosen to lead the resistance against Samhain. Outmatched against the otherworldly powers being unleashed in NYC – the epicentre of the apocalypse – Oscar demonstrates epic wars against powerful violent opponents can be fought without bloodshed. Within twenty‑four hours, everything converges at Yankee Stadium for the battle for the soul of mankind. The winner will decide humanity’s future: renewal or ruin. Life as we know it will end, and humanity will begin their journey into life after The Great Begending.

  • Devil’s Advocate

    by Everett Pruden

From the teachings of Jesus Buddha and Lao I write commentary and an anecdote for each. In order to spread the message of peace and to be a Devil's advocate at the same time.
