Footsteps...Echoes in the Heart

Frederick Wilhelm Feldman was born in the town of Bunde, Prussia (modern eastern Germany) in 1827. His desire for freedom and land to own in America tortured him long before he married Wilhelmine and their daughter, Marie Sophie, was born. <br /> <br />Convinced Prussia would soon be at war; he left his family behind and began his journey to America in a ship filled with misery and sorrow. <br /> <br />Lost and alone he found his way to Castle Island Immigrant Station on Manhattan, Island where riots and murder occurred daily. The Civil War was ending and America was unsettled. Fred heard of land to homestead in Iowa and a river called the Little Sioux, but life was not as he dreamed and he became discouraged and depressed. <br /> <br />"Dutch Fred -Immigrant" depicts events of the time by weaving his personal history (facts) and fiction together as he travels to America and northwest Iowa. Today his tombstone is still nestled on a bluff overlooking the land he searched so hard to find.

It is an axiom that the greater the love shared, the greater the sorrow on parting this life. <br /> <br />Sipping Tea is a collection of poems written over the swirling of many years, at the centre of which lies the death of the poet's beloved wife, which occurred in 2015. It is a love story-written as an homage to Diana, and as an inquiry into Saxby's deep and desperate grief in the wake of her passing. <br /> <br />If we do not know the pain of it already, the fear of losing the person we've lovingly lived our life alongside of can prove a source of terror. In this often-tragic but always grateful collection, we meet a man in the midst of this anguish, and accompany him as he falls into the depths of despair and learns, with difficulty, to live-and love-again....

It's 1933 and Mabel just wants to bake bread. She leaves the cold shack she shares with her father for the warmth of her kneading table at Cameron's store and gets caught in a snow storm, sparking events that expose the raw humanity of those around her. Loyalty and betrayal, guilt and shame, and faith and doubt collide as the dirty secrets of the bleak coal mining community throw lives into turmoil. A series of brutal attacks, a murder, and an ambitious sergeant intent on seeing someone hang, reveal a town, oppressed as much by its dreary prospects, as it is by its institutionalized corruption, sexism and racism. <br />Mabel just wants to bake bread, but she has her own secrets to protect. <br />The Bread Maker is a rich, beautifully told narrative that seamlessly weaves humour and tragedy into a touching story about life, love and the potential of the human spirit to overcome great odds....

Often it is when we least expect it that life throws us a curve ball, and though we might swing at it, that doesn't mean we'll always connect. Plans fall apart. Things we thought we knew turn out to be illusory. There is a sense of dislocation when this happens - sometimes it is fleeting, and we can shake it off, but other times it is profound. And unfortunately, the dislocation that comes from an unexpected life-altering shift is often literal as well as metaphorical.
