The cover of this beautiful 4" x 6" 50-page notebook features a colorful panoramic view of the Crater Lake National Park in Oregon. Here is some of the theory behind the beauty and potential of a blank page: "A person can get lost trying to find a home in herself––but then you simply begin to go on as one must go on, and maybe you say a little something to yourself every once in a while just to practice being with words, meeting silence, meeting yourself again, and maybe you frequent empty rooms to familiarize yourself with the meaning of space as in a blank page, and yourself in it, and maybe you scribble like this will help you come home to yourself, but eventually you fit things together, and what made no sense finds its way into something plausible by virtue of its sheer existence."
Aru must choose... ...use his powers to protect his family... ...or give up his life to save millions of strangers. Aru and Nemi together summoned Trikaal, an ancient time traveler, who agreed to be their Guru. Nemi chose to master time travel, and Aru acquired the power to read the future. But their lives took a sharp turn when paranoid Nemi imprisoned Aru and his pregnant wife. Aru, who considered Nemi his brother, never saw it coming. Betrayed by his best friend, Aru now languishes in a tiny jail cell. While Nemi travels back and forth in time, wreaking death and destruction on thousands of innocent humans. His quest for power has turned into an insatiable bloodlust. Traveling to the distant future, Nemi finally aims to decimate the last survivors of the human race. Aru reads this future and has a plan to end it all. But the price of doing the right thing is too high, and the clock is ticking. Will Aru escape and save his family or stay and save the world?

'Jimmy-Why No?l Polchies: Their Adventures in the Great Woods', is a one-volume compilation of George Frederick Clarke’s Jimmy-Why stories for children. Originally published in two volumes as 'The Adventures of Jimmy-Why' and 'No?l and Jimmy-Why', these books recount the experience of a young boy as he learns the ways of the great woods and woodland living in New Brunswick, Canada. While written as fiction, we know that one of the main characters, No?l Polchies, was a real First Nation person who appears in the stories in his own name. We also know that in real life No?l was a mentor to a young Fred Clarke. This is, perhaps, why the stories ring so true.

"I Wasn't There" is a selection of poems touching on death, teenage crushes, fairy stories, family, and love. Written with love for you to read with love! "I don't know why but I run outside and stand in the garden, shivering, my face turned to the milky sky, arms clenched rigidly around my body, for the air is freezing now and the snow falling thicker and faster and I worry that Becky is cold ... she won't be cold will she? Mum will keep her warm ... and Dad, and Dave, and Lily my mother-in-law. She should have a scarf, a warm coat, gloves, a hat ... I didn't think of that at the time. I wish that she was at home, cosy, sitting on the fluffy orange rug in front of the fire, and not in a box with a nailed lid, that lies down a deep dark hole in the earth. My heart pounds with terror." (Extract from "You to Me Are Everything" - a novel by Debbie Chase)

Subtle variations on the current state of humanity based on a single, monumental decision, or simply the fate of a nation who has lost its bearings, Terra (earth) is the backdrop for four of these tales. With each additional turn of page and each passing account, we find the worlds darker, the stakes higher. We begin with a simple test of love and courage in the waters of a far off ocean world, move through the razor-sharp grasslands to avoid the fiercest of predators, exchange hot lead over the skies of Alabama, watch as a man tries to keep his humanity in world with no laws, look through the eyes of an ancient architect pondering the sacred blue planet while cloaked behind a moon, share a glimpse of the future and teleportation’s dark side and finally, we bask is in the glow of the ultimate retirement plan. Each of these tales is more than a simple beginning and e
