Book excerpt: A uniquely personal insight into the Middle East from one of Canada's most respected foreign correspondents In 1976, Nahlah Ayed's family gave up their comfortable life in Winnipeg for the squalor of a Palestinian refugee camp in Amman, Jordan. The transition was jarring, but it was from this uncomfortable situation that Ayed first observed the people whose heritage she shared. The family returned to Canada when she was thirteen, and Ayed ignored the Middle East for many years. But the First Gulf War and the events of 9/11 reignited her interest. Soon she was reporting from the region full-time, trying to make sense of the wars and upheavals that have affected its people and sent so many of them seeking a better life elsewhere. In A Thousand Farewells, Ayed describes with sympathy and insight the myriad ways in which the Arab people have fought against oppression and loss as seen from her own early days witnessing protests in Amman, and the wars, crackdowns, and uprisings she has reported on in countries across the region. This is the heartfelt and personal chronicle of a journalist who has devoted much of her career to covering one of the world's most vexing regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing has taken over my life.. in a good way. My thoughts continually are geared towards my next song. Sometimes I get a few lines in my head when I am driving and I have to pull over the car and write them down! No matter where I am, I get the urge to write. I could be talking to a neighbor, or be in the middle of mass at church and a word or phrase will pop into my head and whoa! -a new song is born! More than anything I love, love, love, the peace of mind songwriting allows me to have. Most of my lyrics take me 15 to 30 minutes to write. There was a time when I was writing 6-8 lyrics in a day. Sometimes I would sit there and stare at my pencil asking why did you stop? I swear at times the pencil kept moving like I wasnt even thinking of what to write. This is my first edition. I hope to continue with future editions as I am still writing new songs everyday. Someday I hope to put my lyrics to my own music and I recently started taking piano lessons. Hey, we all know life is a learning process; a learning curve, we need to experience the turns with the ride! I wish you all success with this book and look forward to seeing some of you with me when it comes to award times!

To achieve this, they keep Dafydd in the dark, and it takes a thousand lifetimes of love and loss before he sees the light.

Book excerpt: If you liked Adam Kay's book, 'This Is Going To Hurt', you'll love the joyously life-affirming memoir, 'A Thousand Goodbyes'.When Ruth Graham left the world of stand-up comedy to become a funeral celebrant, she'd imagined a less combative career. Over a thousand services later ... she knows better.Probably her most demanding role to date, Ruth has needed every ounce of diplomacy, courage, humour and her wits about her to juggle the daily challenges. From grief-stricken families to amorous widowers through to plate-smashing, warring siblings and even a flock of stoned doves at a Rasta funeral.As the story unfolds we witness her new career developing into a 24/7 commitment. Will it break her? Or will it be the spur she needs to get her own life in order?Jaw-dropping, informative, moving and hilarious in turn, 'A Thousand Goodbyes' is a reminder that nobody is guaranteed a tomorrow; whilst encouraging everyone to seize their day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking for that open door Slightly ajar to begin with, we are all looking for and finding goals slightly out of grasp Losing a grip of a loosely held clasp And in the end losing it all, watching it all slip away in the reality of the cold light of day Isn't life like that? Terry Powell has been penning poetry for nearly twenty years. Now he shares the entirety of his work in one collection that offers inspiration for everyone. Powell’s diverse poems reflect on his personal experiences, true events, and moments in time. He explores a variety of subjects and themes that include naughty children, the deliciousness of chocolate, an old, forbidding house, the climb up a craggy mountain face, the joys of first love, the spectacular colors of the autumn season, and the veteran soldiers who helped transform the course of history. Anthology of My Own Poems shares the entirety of one man’s original writings as he lyrically explores his experiences, thoughts, and life itself.
