Sinopsis

In "Rusty Nails," a gripping YA fantasy, sixteen-year-old Aria navigates a dystopian world where self-worth is measured by "nails" – high-tech implants that serve as status symbols. As Aria's grandfather falls ill, she questions the materialistic society she's grown up in, uncovering a hidden community of philosophers who reject the nail-centric culture.   
Torn between her desire for acceptance and a growing awareness of the emptiness in her materialistic existence, Aria embarks on a journey through virtual realities and underground meetups. She confronts powerful corporations controlling nail technology while grappling with profound questions about identity, authenticity, and true happiness.   
The narrative expertly blends action-packed sequences with introspective moments, bringing to life a vivid futuristic setting where the pursuit of digital status threatens both individual well-being and the environment.

    The Butterfly

    The Butterfly by Hans Christian Andersen is a gently ironic fairy tale about longing, choice, and the quiet consequences of indecision. 
    A butterfly, determined to find the perfect bride among the flowers, flits from bloom to bloom with a critical eye. Each candidate is admired—and dismissed—for being too stiff, too sentimental, too fleeting, too ordinary, or too realistic about what time brings. Spring fades into summer, and summer into autumn, while the butterfly continues to wait for perfection. 
    What remains is not a grand tragedy, but something subtler: a life spent choosing, rather than living. 
    Narrated with warmth and clarity by Liz Leafloor, this classic tale reveals Andersen’s signature blend of humor, tenderness, and quiet moral insight. Beneath its light, whimsical surface lies a reflective meditation on youth, freedom, companionship, and the human tendency to delay commitment in pursuit of an ideal that never arrives. 
    A timeless story for listeners of all ages, The Butterfly lingers long after it ends—like a memory of summer, or a choice made too late.

    “Air raid warning, air raid warning. Shut your doors and windows.” 
    The Rediffusion blared out in English and then in Maltese, at 6:55am on the morning of 11 June 1940. 
    This was the first of many times we would hear that warning. The day our lives changed. 
    Margaret Staples was nine years old at the beginning of 1939 when her father was posted to the British colony of Malta with the Royal Engineers. Swimming every day, with blue skies and balmy weather; Margaret and her siblings thought they were in paradise. 
    Everything changed when the Second World War broke out. Hitler wanted to take control of Malta for its strategic position, right in the middle of the Mediterranean. To this end, the Axis powers dropped more bombs on this tiny island than anywhere else on the planet. When that didn’t work, they decided to sink all the supply ships going to the island and force capitulation through starvation. 
    This is Margaret’s story of survival, told by her daughter Linda.

    'Highly recommended!' - M J Porter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
    It takes years to build a legend. 
    It takes mere heartbeats to shatter it to dust. 
    150 AD. Alaric, once lord of the Ravensworn is no longer feared nor revered. It has been six long years since his great defeat. He now lives life in the shadows. All hopes of glory and eternal rest in the Heroes Hall are gone. Alaric is alone. An outlaw to his land. 
    When a band of horsemen appear on the horizon, eager to recruit the man they still believe to be a lord of war. And so Alaric is pulled back to a life he thought had forsaken him. For in the far north of Germania lies a tribe in desperate need of aid. 
    In the far reaches of the land, for a cause not his own, Alaric will fly the Raven banner once more. In doing so, he will show both man and Gods that his story is not yet over. 
    *Title previously published as Ravensworn

    Water Borne - A 1200-Mile...

    In June 2023, writer Dan Rubinstein lashed camping gear to his stand-up paddleboard and embarked on an improbable solo voyage from Ottawa to Montreal, New York City, Toronto, and back to Ottawa along the rivers, lakes, and canals of a landlocked region. Over 1,200 miles and 10 weeks, he explored the healing potential of “blue space” — the aquatic equivalent of green space — and sought out others drawn to their local waters.
    		 
    But the farther Rubinstein paddled, the more he realized that being in, on, or around water does more than boost our mental and physical health and prompt stewardship toward the natural world. He discovered that blue spaces are also a way to connect with the kaleidoscopic cross-section of people he met and the diverse geographies and communities he passed through.
    		 
    Weaving together research, interviews, and an unmacho, malodorous, anticolonial adventure tale, Water Borne shows us that we don’t need an epic journey to find solutions to so many modern challenges. Repair and renewal may be close at hand: just add water.

    "People of color have endured traumatic histories and almost daily assaults on our dignity. We have prayed about racism, been in denial, or acted out in anger, but we have not known how to individually or collectively pursue healing from the racial trauma."
    As a child, Sheila Wise Rowe was bused across town to a majority white school, where she experienced the racist lie that one group is superior to all others. This lie continues to be perpetuated today by the action or inaction of the government, media, viral videos, churches, and within families of origin. In contrast, Scripture declares that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made.
    Rowe, a professional counselor, exposes the symptoms of racial trauma to lead readers to a place of freedom from the past and new life for the future. In each chapter, she includes an interview with a person of color to explore how we experience and resolve racial trauma. With Rowe as a reliable guide who has both been on the journey and shown others the way forward, you will find a safe pathway to resilience.
