This clever retelling of a tried-and-true tale has a paleontological twist! Three Triceratops brothers by the name of Tuff are on a mission to find some grub.

The Tuff brothers must find a way to outsmart this bossy beast, for their very lives—and a bounty of delicious greens—hang in the balance. This vividly illustrated story transplants the classic tale of “The Three Billy Goats Gruff” into the Cretaceous period, where dino fans of all ages will enjoy seeing their favorite subjects use their smarts to battle it out for dinner.

Sent to Saskatchewan, Canada by her over-bearing Mother-in-law, Emily and her new husband, Paul, find themselves in a hostile environment. Not only is the countryside vastly different from the soft rolling hills of middle England but the atmosphere of their new home, Westbury Farm, is ripe with tension. Sharing the house with Paul’s brother, Simon, a former love of Emily’s, the malicious and salacious housekeeper, Helena Parker, and Parker’s twins, Sarah and John only leads to conflicts and confrontations. Emily and Paul are facing their own personal problem. She wants to start a family but he is not interested. Then when a fall from her favourite horse causes a second miscarriage Emily slips into despair. After her physical recovery she takes solace in nurturing the twins which leads to more veiled threats and clashes. But she persists and with Simon’s backing she wins out in the end. A tenacious woman who is, as yet, unaware of her inner resolve, Emily faces the challenges of her new life with steadfast single-mindedness. Paul’s absences and Simon’s presence further her secret determination to leave Westbury and create a home of her own. A Canadian historical novel for readers who enjoy a good narrative.

Even though she is over two hundred years old, Hope is the youngest of the nine Greek Muses who live on the island of Leisha. Hope wants nothing more than to please her sisters but she alone faces the greatest challenge a Muse has ever known: she lacks a talent in which to inspire others. Delphi, the blind Muse of Prophecy, foresees that in order for Hope to find her talent and fulfill her destiny she must do what no other Muse has ever done, she must leave the island of Leisha. Hope is uncertain but is assured by Clio the Muse of History she will not go alone. Aided by a magical, golden swan boat, Hope bravely sails off into the approaching dawn, uncertain of where the beautiful swan boat will take her. In this extraordinary fantasy tale, Hope embarks on an adventure filled with Fairies, Dragons and other mystical creatures that will teach her more about herself and her hidden strengths then she ever imagined.
