About The Trumpassic Period — Year Two: A Path of Darkness by David Belisle:

It’s been two long, gut-wrenching years in the Puhl-DePlugg Reservoir. Two years of chaos-as-king under the new leader, the Tyrumposaurus or T-Rump for short. Just try and keep up with the reptiles and crooked-necked cronies crawling through the Oval Dwelling. This is an era where greed, lies and corruption rear their ugly heads, striving to become the new normal. Breathe deep. Exhale. If you enjoyed The Trumpassic Period — Year One — the book, not the experience! — there’s more cathartic laughter in store from the past 365-day stroll down … A Path of Darkness. You survived it. You deserve this. Enjoy, dear reader.

About Newfie, Come Home! by David Belisle:

For non-Canadians, this quick Newfie Primer may prove valuable. The Newfie is a proud citizen of Canada’s maritime playground – Newfoundland – also known as The Rock. This coastal, craggy island is the size of Montana but with half the people (500,000) and you’ll need to swap the cowboy hat for a pair of rubber boots. Since John Cabot landed on the shores of Cape Bonavista in 1497, the Newfie has been the fisher of cod. Until 1992 that is, when cod stocks hit rock bottom and a government moratorium on the little flipper took every net out of the water. It was like telling a fish he couldn’t swim. Out of tragedy comes comedy however, and the Newfie is blessed with perhaps the best sense of humor in the country. They stand out with their infectious laugh and dialect, a combination of Bristol English, Cork Irish and a Scottish kilt flapping in the wind. This is the backdrop for the gullible, happy-go-lucky hero of our tale, Gord McDougall.  “Newfie, Come Home!” is a fun-filled, fictional walk down a very short plank to the splash of laughter.Gord visits his father in the hospital after the elder McDougall decided to end it all with a shot of Skreech and a handful of pills, including Flintstone vitamins. But Gord’s dad survives and sees the error of his ways. He tells Gord that he should live life large and go out big. Gord misunderstands his father’s advice, thinking that in order to be somebody … he must kill himself. What follows is a series of misadventures where Gord’s quest for suicide inevitably finds him inside a terrorist cell. International incidents abound with Gord standing front row center. Is it time for this Newfie to finally come home?

About Rabbits in Switzerland: A Midwife’s Cautionary Tale by Ethan Ripley:

When Luisa qualifies as an NHS midwife, she senses the beginning of life as a proper adult. ‘Oh, you’re a midwife,’ compliments absolutely everyone. But the kudos of the job forces her to hide the reality: a terror of life-and-death responsibility, sanity-troubling fatigue, and the slow destruction of relationships with her boyfriend and young twins.The undeniable reward of helping bring new life into the world leaves her unable to admit the downsides. The terror of responsibility means it is not just labouring women who evacuate their bowels before a birth. New mothers’ perfectionist demands and their ring-bound birth plans make night shifts all the harder. And over the course of one sleep-deprived week, the eccentricities of her demented colleagues and the creaking bureaucracy of the NHS drive Luisa to hysterical despair.There is no one to whom Luisa can admit her nagging career doubts: not her over-dedicated colleagues, whose own sanity requires the elevation of midwifery to the status of religion. Not to her boyfriend Justin, brought low by the stress and lack of excitement in their life, and with whom an attempt at after-work seduction in a car park results instead in the vandalising of their own car. And if she meant her career to be a feminist role model for her twin girls, they are now more under the influence of Justin’s mother Bea, whose idea of childcare is induction into the pagan rituals of her mini-cult life-coaching circle.A only somewhat fictionalised account of Talia Ripley’s own experiences as a newly qualified midwife, and co-written by the authors, a real-life-couple, because it was cheaper than therapy. Rabbits in Switzerland asks: if this is your dream job, what exactly is the dream? What is the value of a working life, when it tramples over your family, your social life and your sanity?

About Apart from Love (Still Life with Memories Bundle Book 1) by Uvi Poznansky:

Apart from Love is not your typical love story. All-consuming, heart-wrenching, and dark, it is a family saga that starts when Ben returns to meet his father, Lenny, and his new wife, Anita. It is then that he discovers a family secret. How will they find a path out of conflicts, out of isolation, from guilt to forgiveness?

My Own Voice (“As told by Anita”):Ten years ago, Anita started an affair with Lenny, in spite of knowing that he was married and that his wife was succumbing to a mysterious disease. Now married to him and carrying his child, how can she compete with Natasha’s shadow and with her brilliance in the past? Given Anita’s lack of education, how can she resist his compelling wish to transform her? Can she survive his kind of love? Faced with the way he writes her as a character in his book, how can Anita find a voice of her own? And when his estranged son, Ben, comes back and lives in the same small apartment, can she keep the balance between the two men, whose desire for her is marred by guilt and blame?

The White Piano (“As told by Ben”):Coming back to his childhood home after years of absence, Ben is unprepared for the secret, which is now revealed to him: his mother, Natasha, who used to be a brilliant pianist, is losing herself to early-onset Alzheimer’s, which turns the way her mind works into a riddle. His father has remarried, and his new wife, Anita, looks remarkably similar to Natasha—only much younger. In this state of being isolated, being apart from love, how will Ben react to these marital affairs, when it is so tempting to resort to blame and guilt? “In our family, forgiveness is something you pray for, something you yearn to receive—but so seldom do you give it to others.”Behind his father’s back, Ben and Anita find themselves increasingly drawn to each other. They take turns using an old tape recorder to express their most intimate thoughts, not realizing at first that their voices are being captured by him. These tapes, with his eloquent speech and her slang, reveal the story from two opposite viewpoints. Dealing with the challenging prospects of the marriage of opposites, this book can be read as a standalone novel as well as part of one of family sagas best sellers. Still Life with Memories is a family saga series tinged with family saga romance, fraught with marital issues, and riddled with the difficulty of connecting fathers and sons.

About The Quarry Bank Runaways: The Journey to London of Thomas Priestley & Joseph Sefton in 1806 by G J Griffiths:

“Child apprentices in very many cotton mills continued to be treated like slaves well after the Slave Trade Acts of the 19th century.””Pauper child apprentices from workhouses were not even paid after working 12 hour days and for 5 or 6 days a week, mill owners counted the profit!”In the early 19th century, when it was the policy of many of the poorhouses and workhouses to deter paupers from applying by making the conditions inside harsh and unpleasant, two boys set out on a journey to Hackney Workhouse in London. Their starting point was in the pleasant Cheshire countryside, where they were apprenticed to the cotton mill built by Samuel Greg in 1784. Children as young as 9 would be employed there, as scavengers, piecers, mule doffers or can tenters. These jobs could be just as unpleasant and difficult for a poor child as those we may have heard of, such as chimney sweeps and match girls.Quarry Bank Mill was some 200 miles north of London and the boys had to sneak out unnoticed and then attempt to walk all the way. It was likely that these enterprising travellers took advantage of the drovers’ roads and the newly developed “motorways” of the times – the canals. Perhaps they were lucky enough some days to hitch a lift; their general direction of travel taking them to Beartown, the Potteries, Dunstable Downs and eventually to London. Whatever challenges they encountered along the way archive evidence shows that they made it.Runaway apprentices had become a problem for society during the years of the Industrial Revolution – so what had prompted Thomas and Joseph to do such a hazardous thing? What happened to them on their long journey? Did they receive any help? Or were they chased relentlessly wherever they ran, since what they were doing was illegal in the eyes of the authorities?This is the story of their adventure and it concludes with the events in the Middlesex courthouse, known then as the Old Sessions.
