Blurbs
Conflagration!
On a warm
spring day in April 1734, a fire raged through the merchants’ quarter in
Montréal. When the flames finally died, 46 buildings – including the Hôtel-Dieu
convent and hospital – had been destroyed. Within hours, rumors ran rampant
that Marie-Joseph Angélique, an enslaved Black woman fighting for her freedom,
had started the fire with her white lover. Less than a day later, Angélique sat
in prison, her lover nowhere to be found. Though she denied the charges,
witnesses claimed Angélique was the arsonist even though no one saw her set the
fire.
In an era when
lawyers are banned from practicing in New France, Angélique is on her own.
Philippe Archambeau, a court clerk assigned specifically to document her case,
believes Angelique might just be telling the truth. Or not. A reticent servant,
a boisterous jailer, and three fire-scorched shingles prove indispensable in
his quest to uncover what really happened.
Angélique’s
time is running out as Archambeau searches for answers. Will the determined
court clerk discover what really happened the night Montreal burned to the
ground before it’s too late?
Hung Out to
Die
Meet Riel
Brava. Attractive. Razor-sharp. Ambitious. And something much more.
Riel, raised in
Santa Barbara, California, has been transplanted to Nova Scotia where he is CEO
of the Canadian Cannabis Corporation. It’s business as usual until Riel finds
his world hanging by a thread. Actually, several threads. It doesn’t take the
police long to determine all is not as it appears – and that includes Riel
himself.
Pulled into a
world not of his making, Riel resists the hunt to catch a killer. Resistance is
futile. Detective Lin Raynes draws the reluctant CEO into the investigation,
and the seeds of an unexpected and unusual friendship are sown. Raynes and Riel
concoct a scheme to draw a confession out of the killer, but that plan is never
put into place. Instead, Riel finds himself on the butt end of a rifle in the
ribs and a long drive to the middle of Nowhere, Nova Scotia.
The Thong Principle: Saying What You Mean and Meaning what
You Say
The Thong
Principle has little to
do with beachwear and everything to do with effective communication. It’s
about, as the subtitle indicates, a way to communicate that works on all
levels. A way of communicating that works for the person sending the message
and the person or people receiving the message.
The book
delves into the elements that comprise successful communications – conciseness,
clarity, care, and much more. It also puts those elements into context.
Communications that miss the mark confuse and annoy readers and listeners. They
fail to deliver their message. More importantly, they damage our credibility
and erode goodwill.
The best
communication engages, and The Thong Principle will draw you in and keep
you reading with examples, exercises, and information that resonates. It’s also
funny. Laughter and learning are wonderful partners.
