    Cassie: Victim or Coconspirator...

    In this explosive literary debut, Clayton Howard breaks his silence to reveal the untold story of his eight-year entanglement with music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs and singer Cassie Ventura. As Combs' trial dominates headlines, Howard's haunting memoir offers an intimate counternarrative that challenges everything you think you know. 
    What began as a paid encounter at Manhattan's London Hotel in 2009 evolved into something far more complex—a web of desire, manipulation, and emotional dependency that defied easy categorization. Howard pulls back the curtain on the infamous "freak-offs," revealing not sensationalized tabloid fodder, but a raw exploration of power dynamics in the shadow of celebrity. 
    Through Howard's unflinching voice, both Diddy and Cassie emerge as flawed, multifaceted individuals navigating a world they created and were ultimately consumed by. Far from portraying Cassie as a passive victim, Howard presents her as an active participant in their toxic triangle—initiating, engaging, and complicating the narrative of abuse that has dominated media coverage. 
    From tender moments to terrifying encounters—including Cassie's overdose and Howard's own drugging—this memoir refuses to sanitize or sensationalize. Instead, it offers a meditation on consent, control, and the murky intersection of sex, money, and fame. 
    CASSIE is more than celebrity tell-all—it's a brutal examination of how power corrupts intimacy and how the truth is always more complicated than the headlines suggest. Howard's voice cuts through the noise with uncomfortable honesty, offering readers a chance to grapple with the moral ambiguities that define modern celebrity culture. 
    Raw, illuminating, and impossible to ignore.

    Reconciling - A Lifelong...

    “Larry Grant’s life is a model of what it means to rise above hardship, transcend preconceived notions, and live life in a good way. I’ve had the honour of meeting him, but this book makes me feel as if I know him. And that is a profound gift.” — Shelagh Rogers, Honorary Witness, Truth and Reconciliation Commission; broadcast journalist, CBC Radio
    		 
    A personal and historical story of identity, place, and belonging from a Musqueam-Chinese Elder caught between cultures
    		 
    It’s taken most of Larry Grant’s long life for his extraordinary heritage to be appreciated. He was born in a hop field outside Vancouver in 1936, the son of a Musqueam cultural leader and an immigrant from a village in Guangdong, China. In 1940, when the Indian agent discovered that their mother had married a non-status man, Larry and his two siblings were stripped of their status. With one stroke of the pen, they were disenfranchised—no longer recognized as Indigenous.
    		 
    Reconciling is a series of conversations between Larry and writer Scott Steedman as they visit pivotal geographical places together, including the Musqueam reserve, Chinatown, the site of the Mission residential school, the Vancouver docks and the University of British Columbia. Larry tells the story of his life, including his thoughts on reconciliation and the path forward for First Nations and Canada. His life echoes the barely known story of Vancouver and spans key events of the last two centuries, including Chinese immigration and the Head Tax, the ravages of residential school and now Indigenous revival and the accompanying change in worldview. 
    		 
    When Larry talks about reconciliation, he uses the verb reconciling, an ongoing, unfinished process we’re all going through, Indigenous and settler, immigrant and Canadian-born. “I have been reconciling my whole life, with my inner self,” he explains. “To not belong was forced upon me by the colonial society that surrounded me. But reconciling with myself is part of all that.”

    In the Eye of the Wild begins with an account of the French anthropologist Nastassja Martin's near fatal run-in with a Kamchatka bear in the mountains of Siberia. Martin's professional interest is animism; she addresses philosophical questions about the relation of humankind to nature, and in her work she seeks to partake as fully as she can in the lives of the indigenous peoples she studies. Her violent encounter with the bear, however, brings her face-to-face with something entirely beyond her ken—the untamed, the nonhuman, the animal, the wild. A change takes place that she must somehow reckon with. 
     
     
     
    Left severely mutilated, dazed with pain, Martin undergoes multiple operations in a provincial Russian hospital, while also being grilled by the secret police. Back in France, she finds herself back on the operating table, a source of new trauma. She realizes that the only thing for her to do is to return to Kamchatka. She must discover what it means to have become, as the Even people call it, medka, a person who is half human, half bear. 
     
     
     
    In the Eye of the Wild is a fascinating, mind-altering book about terror, pain, endurance, and self-transformation, comparable in its intensity of perception and originality of style to J. A. Baker's classic The Peregrine. Here Nastassja Martin takes us to the farthest limits of human being.
