Chasing Painted Horses a novel by Drew Hayden Taylor

Praise for previous work Motorcycles & Sweetgrass:

“Taylor brings a modern twist to ancient Native folklore. Motorcycles & Sweetgrass is a charming story about the importance of balance and belief — and a little bit of magic — in everyone’s life.” — Quill & Quire

On the cusp of becoming teenagers, Ralph, his sister Shelley, and their friend William, befriend Danielle, an odd girl in their school. She draws an extraordinary horse in a competition created by Ralph’s mother. It’s the kind of drawing no child — or adult, for that matter – should be able to draw. It will haunt Ralph into adulthood, because it represents everything wrong in Danielle’s life and everything she wished her life could be. As teenagers and later as adults, Ralph, Shelley, and William are struck, trying to figure out what the horse means to the girl, and how they can help her.

Reclaiming Faith articles by Michael Coren

Praise for previous work Epiphany:

“Michael Coren’s Epiphany is a wonderfully revealing read — an epiphany in itself. I urge anyone interested in the conjunction of faith and free-thought to read this engrossing and fascinating book.” — Stephen Fry

For the past five years Michael Coren has written articles and columns in ISBN 978-1-77086-564-8 Canada’s major newspapers and magazines in an endeavour to reclaim the $24.95 Christian faith, and to present it in its genuine, vibrant, and liberating form.

The inspector on duty decides that she simply froze to death, but Detective William Murdoch suspects foul play.

Forgotten Warrior THE LIFE OF SIR ARTHUR CURRIE a biography by Robert Linnell

Sir Arthur Currie’s funeral on December 4, 1933, found 250,000 people standing in the cold, wet streets of Montreal, far from his birthplace of Ladysmith, British Columbia. They were waiting to say farewell to a military commander who, while not particularly dashing or charismatic, had brought Canada’s armed forces through some of their hardest wartime trials, and who had ended his life as the Principal of McGill University. Despite the attempted smears against his reputation and war record, those who served under him felt that he was a commander who listened to good advice, who could lead from the front, and who was frugal with the lives of his men.

And yet these poems offer no prescription to keep despair from encroaching on our few vestiges of hope. Always the question of whether or not we can survive our own missteps lingers in the background of our 21st century lives as we go about our daily business.

It has been a site of human activity for 15,000 years. This land is the territory of the Huron-Wendat and Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. The territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and Confederacy of the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. Today, the meeting place of Toronto is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work in the community, on this territory. We are also mindful of broken covenants and the need to strive to make right with all our relations.
