“This far-reaching novel eloquently displays the author’s love of history and storytelling. Blood, Feathers and Holy Men rampages from monastic life in the old world to exotic practices on a distant continent. En route the reader is treated to the lifestyles of impoverished Irish monks, marauding Vikings, the first nations in a new world and the early civilizations of what would one day become Central America. Ben Nuttall-Smith has crafted a fascinating tale of enormous scope.”

Book Launch: ‘Soldier of the Horse’ by Robert Mackay

Robert Mackay is launching his historical novel ‘Soldier of the Horse’ this Wednesday March 2nd, 7pm, at the Cloverdale legion (17567-57th Ave, Cloverdale).

The novel begins in Winnipeg in 1914. Tom Macrae, a law student from a secure, settled life on the Canadian prairies, is sent into the trenches, mud and horror of the Great War. As many men did, he leaves behind his sweetheart, Ellen, who has decisions of her own to face during Tom’s absence.

A member of the Canadian Cavalry Brigade, Tom serves in and out of the trenches, in the thick of the stalemated struggles on the Western Front. Along with the soldiers’ comradeship, there also lie strong bonds of trust between soldiers and their horses. Together, Tom and the Brigade face a hurricane of shells, machine guns and bayonets and discover the best and the worst of humanity.

Inspired by his own father’s story of fighting in Picardy, France, Robert Mackay’s novel pivots on the great military history and traditions of the Canadian Cavalry, while showing the human element, dedication and vulnerability of those who served in World War One.

‘The Destiny of Dreams’ a romance novel by Gisela Woldenga

Can it be possible for dreams to come true? Valerie asks herself that question after dreaming of an unknown man she had deeply fallen in love with. Hundreds of miles away the man wonders about the same thing: who is this woman he is seeing in his nightly visions? Through more dreams and a coincidental meeting it seems they were lovers thousands of years ago at the time of the Pharaoes and met an untimely death.

Can their love survive in the here and now, or must it whither under the weight of their daily trials?

‘The Destiny of Dreams’ was launched this past Sunday Feb 13 at Renaissance Books in New Westminster.
