Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charlie is six years old when he first learns to take the edge off the day. Sniffing solvent fumes in the back of his dad's truck. Thirty-six years later, he's a self-made multi-millionaire, exhibited artist, absentee husband, father of four confused children and a drug addict and alcoholic. Now he's spiralling downwards fast. The doctors have given him months to live. His wife is trying to get him sectioned. Mackenzie, his counsellor who has seen him through eight rehabs, has turned him away. She needs the bed for another alcoholic she thinks she can actually save. He flies to Miami for sunshine and AA; but Grey Goose, cocaine and a knife-wielding German woman seem a better idea. Charlie's not a bad man; he's a sick man. He's never felt in sync with life. My Name is Charlie and I Don't Think Right is the story of an alcoholic and addict. We like to think of it as a story of hope for the hopeless.

Louis envisions himself the hero in his fantasies; but his real life is quite different. Louis has found a special friendship with Charlie-a very friendly, but somewhat strange barnyard-horse; of Louis' neighbor, Mr. Beamer. Charlie has his own secrets though. Although he appears to be: an old working cart-horse, soon to be replaced by the new "horseless-buggy" technology, he is in fact; the last of a very special breed of horse.

Book excerpt: When Charlie Sykes wakes up in hospital in St. John's, he learns that he and his father have been in a car accident and that his father is dying. Charlie inherits little more than the brass key that his father pressed into his hand before he passed away. As far as Charlie knows, he has no family in Newfoundland. But then Uncle Nick shows up and is keen to meet his nephew-not because of who Charlie is, but rather because of what Charlie has: the key. That key will unlock a treasure Uncle Nick began searching for more than thirty years earlier. And he would have found it all those years ago if he hadn't been arrested and sent away for murder. But Charlie isn't convinced he should give up the key. He leads Uncle Nick on a wild chase through old St. John's, across Signal Hill and out to the coast. There, high above the rugged Atlantic, Charlie finally comes face-to-face with Uncle Nick, the treasure, and a family history that will leave him with a new understanding of where he comes from and where he's going.
