Border Pieces
Border Pieces
When Canadian Morgan Winfeld gets assigned to work with Ireland's Jake Rory, they spend a few days in Nova Scotia getting to know each other and putting the boots to an assassin. It's not long before they head to Alberta to dig around the embers of a fire that destroyed much more than people's property, and to be involved in a fight for their lives. Being a covert operative is demanding, dangerous work, and Morgan doesn't know how to exist without it. On a trip to Wales, Morgan gets some unexpected assistance from a cousin who helps her to better use her keen intuition. The techniques help but cannot stop things from taking a horrible turn during a mission in Sommerside, England. Morgan is in her forties, and she could easily be a retired spy who writes stories about her wild past and drinks Scotch, except she likes the work and there's always another job to do. Despite experiencing big losses and the difficulties in being a spy in this time of technology and restricted border crossings, Morgan just can't quit. Can she?

It's a Dog's Life
It's a Dog's Life
This journal takes things in a new direction, because the story can be told from the dog's point of view! Go ahead and visit your favourite parks, trees, benches, and hydrants! Go to the beach, or to the grass patch! Walk, run, and dash. Dip a paw in the mud and to create a memorable pawprint. The options are endless when canines take over the page and work their way into journalling history. Turning your journal into a scrapbook is also encouraged. You can glue in the very first dog tag, paste in pictures of favourite places, and you can sketch. If you're not feeling that creative, printing pictures off the internet and pasting them in is also allowed. To create is a beautiful thing. To have a dog doing it is a whole new level of fun!
