  A Journey With Orvis

  In the late summer of 2022, the author finds his next traveling companion in the hot and dusty backyard of an antique shop on the backroads of Fossil, Oregon. The companion, Orvis, is an imaginary dog. True soulmates, they inspire one another to take a journey that neither could take alone, a journey of humor and forbearance, personal discovery, and egregious self-sacrifice. Together they break new ground in the annals of travel writing, finding the best and the worst of the places they visit, but always maintaining their strong opinions and sense of humor. 
  A Journey With Orvis is not really about the places they travel (from Mexico City to Istanbul, Zagreb to Paris, London to Dublin), but is more about the ‘who’ and ‘why’ of traveling itself. It helps that they travel lightly with only a small carry-on and open minds. It helps even more that one of them is imaginary.  
  By the end of the journey, it could be either one.

  Cacophony of Bone - The Circle...

  Two days after the winter solstice in 2019, Kerri and her partner moved to a remote cottage in the heart of Ireland. They were looking for a home, somewhere to settle into a stable life. Then the pandemic arrived and their secluded abode became a place of enforced isolation. What was meant to be the beginning of an enriching new chapter was instead marked by uncertainty and fear. The seasons still passed, the swallows returned, the rhythms of the natural world went on, but in many ways 2020 was unlike any year we had seen before. And for Kerri there would be one more change: a baby, longed for but utterly, beautifully unexpected. 
   
   
   
  Intensely lyrical, fragmentary in subject and form, Cacophony of Bone is an ode to a year, a place, and a love that transformed a life. When the pandemic came, time seemed to shapeshift; in Kerri’s elegant prose, we can trace its quickening, its slowing. She maps the circle of a year—a journey from one place to another, field notes of a life—from one winter to the next, telling of a changed life in a changed world, as well as all that stays the same. All that keeps on living and breathing, nesting and dying. This is a book for the listener who wants to slow down, guided by a voice that is utterly singular, "rich and strange," (Robert Macfarlane). A book about home—the deepening of family, the connections that sustain us.

  Fish Town

  "For years my life had been a string of temporary work in factories and call centres or unemployed. Approaching 30 and disillusioned with life in Glasgow, I sold everything I had and left for a new life in a remote fishing village in Japan. I knew nothing of the language or the strange new land that I would call home for the next seven years. Fish Town is an eye-opening true story that paints the reality of living in Japan as an outsider."
  John's debut memoir, written entirely on his phone, reads like a book of poetry or perhaps a long text message. This gifted writer captures the experience of a Scottish man living in Japan – with humour, wit, honesty, and by all means without an ounce of political correctness.
  "Periods of hopelessness and despair are perfectly blended with hilarity and hope, instantly giving off vibes of Post Office by Charles Bukowski. Fagan's delivery is poignant and purposeful, with writing so crisp it's easy to fly through the pages. Truly a book I will never forget." – Aidan Martin, author of Euphoric Recall

  Losing your furry friend will leave a big hole in your heart, and you will miss them greatly. They bring companionship, joy, and the warmth of a critter who loves you unconditionally. They are one of life’s most precious pleasures. 
  Unfortunately, the reality that comes with the love of a fur baby is that you will be with them for their whole life, but they will not be with you for all of yours, and when they pass on, the grief of it all may make you lose sight of the many precious years you spent together. 
  This book is a guide to help navigate the grieving process and offer support and assistance. None of us should walk this path alone. 
  Or maybe you’ve never had a pet, but someone in your life is mourning the loss of theirs. You might want to understand some of what they’re going through. 
  Inside, Grieving the Loss of a Fur Baby, we’ll cover:How losing your fur baby can affect your daily life, and the struggles to come to terms with your loss will bring.Moving through the stages of grief.Strategies for coping with the grief and thoughts of guilt that comes with losing a pet.Finding your closure and moving forward with your life with happy memories. 
  It’s important to understand that your feelings are valid, and losing a pet can hurt as acutely as losing a loved one. 
  It’s also key to understand that you are not alone, and one of the valuable things this book share is how to find resources by, and for those who have suffered the same loss. 
  Overcoming your grief doesn’t mean you forget your pet. It’s the natural course of things that you will outlive them. Instead, overcoming your grief will help you focus on the fond memories and experiences you shared with your fur baby, and Grieving the Loss of a Fur Baby will help you on that journey.
