Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From her prison cell in revolutionary Paris, nineteen-year-old aristocrat Hélène d’Aubign recalls the events that led her to choose between following in her parents’ unforgivable footsteps or abandoning the man she loves. Despite her world of privilege, Hélène is inspired early on by the radical ideas of her progressive governess. Though her family tries to intervene, the seeds of revolution have already been planted in Hélène’s heart, as are the seeds of love from an unlikely friendship with a young jeweler’s apprentice. Hélène’s determination to find true love is as revolutionary as her attempt to unravel the truth behind a concealed murder that tore her family apart. As violence erupts in Paris, Hélène is forced into hiding with her estranged family, where the tangled secrets of their past become entwined with her own. When she finally returns to the blood-stained streets of Paris, she finds everything—and everyone—very much changed. In a city where alliances shift overnight, no one knows whom to trust. Faced with looming war, the mystery of her family’s past, and the man she loves near death, Hélène will soon find out if doing one wrong thing will make everything right, or if it will simply push her closer to the guillotine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is 1916. Bartholomew Bandy, fourth-year medical student, decides that it is time to join the War. The prim young Canadian expects that he will have few problems remaining clean and virtuous. But he is aware that his bland, horse-like face drives people crazy, and that he has a certain tendency to be accident-prone. How will the war affect him, and vice versa? The realities of trench war at the front provide a contrasting backdrop for his adventures, as he blunders into contact with all sorts of people, both fictional and historical (the King, Lester Pearson, and Winston Churchill). Three Cheers For Me was first published in 1962, to wide critical acclaim. This expanded version first appeared in 1973, to launch the series now known as The Bandy Papers.

Book excerpt: A journey of wonders and hazards. THE FALLEN he world of Genoa seemed safe again for all the creatures living in this magical land. But safety comes with a price. Tresstéanna finds herself now whole in mind, body, and heart, but she also finds herself in trouble once again. Her new quest is to return the Globe of Corpuscle to the dark and hazardous cavern of the Kylix. But being in danger isn’t a shock anymore, and at least this time she finds herself in Kriston’s arms. Kriston, still recovering from injuries, discovers himself once again on a quest. This time he’s surrounded by friends, but his number one concern is the queen of Valorna. The complex woman is a mystery to him, and he finds himself entrapped by her. The wonders and dangers they find on their journey will either bring them closer together or kill them all. THE HIDDEN For the creatures living in the banished world of Midzark, life has been a hard one. Magic is in short supply, while the giants who built their palace off the sweat of imprisoned slaves, live like kings. Following the dangerous journey through the Kylix, Tresstéanna now finds herself a small queen in a very large land. One where giants rule and enslave those who are gifted with magic. Her mission to return the goddess Genoa to her resting place has now been halted while she and her friends fight to reunite with the others from Genoa, including her fiancé, Kriston. Kriston recovers from his recent injuries sustained in the dark tunnel of the Kylix only to discover his love, Tresstéanna, has been ripped from his arms. Now he finds himself in a century-old battle between two peoples in an unfamiliar land called Midzark, a world nothing like Genoa, as he and his band struggle to free their friends from the giants’ grip. THE GIFTED The conclusion of the Genoa Chronicles. For Tresstéanna and her band of gifted friends the struggle for freedom continues. The Queen of Valorna is still imprisoned within the giant’s palace. Forced into servitude and charged with teaching the royal Grands magic, her and her friends hatch a plan to gain their freedom. But danger is around every corner and her initial mission to return Genoa to her resting place deep in the Kylix becomes even more hazardous. Kriston struggles to return to Tresstéanna’s side and free her and the other gifted from the clutches of the giants. As the battle picks up speed for freedom the prince’s sanity will be tested as he struggles to keep Tresstéanna from harm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At long last -- the ninth and final volume of the Bandy Papers, Stalin Versus Me, in which quintessential Canadian hero Bartholomew Wolfe Bandy has one final fling with death, despair, and destruction, in the final year of the Second World War. In the aftermath of the Normandy invasion, Bandy continues to bob through the ranks like a cork at sea, persecuted by one of his pilots and pursued by Gwinny, who just can't understand why her attempt to have him convicted of treason has soured their relationship. Love rears its (elegant, Belgian) head again, the King needs a man of tact and discretion for a delicate post-war job in Germany, and there's an embarrassing parcel of ladies undies to explain, not to mention just why a half-clothed Bandy (unfortunately, not the right half) is in bed with George Garanine, that lazy, loveable, failed Bandy-assassin. From Normandy to Brussels to Yalta to Moscow, Bandy's career path is as labyrinthine as ever, strewn with bottles, battles, and brasshat blood-pressure. Of most crucial concern to our hero, as 1944 draws to a close and 1945 sees the last grim push of the war beginning -- boozing pal Philby of the SIS couldn't possibly have any reason to get Bandy sent to the Yalta Conference except as a translator, right? And Stalin can't really be out to get Bandy, just because he happens to know that a certain Soviet leader was once a Tsarist agent provocateur. After all, we all know Uncle Joe isn't the type to hold a grudge. Will Bandy survive? Will he get the, er, mature, middle-aged lady (unaccountably still in love with her lazy, loveable, long-lost husband?) Will a plane be purloined? Will his last few hairs hold out?
