  Crossing the River Sorrow, One Nurses Story, is a personal account of one ordinary nurse’s plunge into the world of human suffering –“ the River Sorrow” –and her long quest to make peace with some of life’s most troubling questions. 
  Medicine has undergone many changes over the decades since the author was a nurse. In the early 70’s the nursing practices of Florence Nightingale, met technology, and nurses, who were mostly women, had little power to protest the draconian work load that resulted. 
  The stories in this book go beyond documenting nursing practice in that bygone era, to examine the things that have not changed since that tumultuous time. People still get injured.  They get sick, suffer, and die and a nurse is often at their bedside. Amidst the pain that is a part of every life, humans continue to search for meaning. 
  Crossing the River Sorrow, One Nurse’s Story is available in paperback, Kindle and Nook format. Edited excerpts can be found in the January 2013 issue of American Journal of Nursing, and at the website crossingtheriversorrow.com. Reviews can be read on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kirkus, and in the November 2013 issue of Publishers Weekly Select.

  John Spillane fell in love with singing when he was a small boy and now that he has written about 200 songs and an opera, he feels he's starting to get the hang of it. For over thirty years, his songs have provided a musical background to life in Ireland, and have been performed by such luminaries as Christy Moore, Sharon Shannon and Mary Black. Gathering these evocative lyrics in print for the first time, John gives insight into the inspiration and stories behind the songs. He also includes tales of his adventures on the sea of life, from earning his first royalty cheque to signing with EMI (once The Beatles' label). This is a beautiful collection, and conjures a vibrant world of colour, poetry, music and love. Most of all, enjoy John's pure positivity as he asks, 'Will we be brilliant or what?'

  The Devil and the Detective

  Robert James, a private detective more interested in chronicling his cases than solving them, gets a midnight call from a young woman whose older husband has been found with a knife in his chest. Murder, corruption, and betrayal ensue as he's drawn into the dark underworld of his client, but hapless Robert and his sidekick, a flower-delivery guy, can't stop drinking, smoking, and philosophizing long enough to keep up. Imagine The Big Sleep via Fernando Pessoa, with a side of Buster Keaton.
   
  'Goldbach's touch is light and his narrative momentum is fierce.'
   
  – Globe and Mail
   
  'Told in a sort of punchÂ?drunk, slapstick stream that melds dreams, misperception and dialogue, the story has undeniable momentum, even as it veers persistently and amusingly off course. [Four stars]'
