With of our first offerings from authors Jeff Berry – Notes To Mother – and Ben Nuttall-Smith – Flying with White Eagle – in 2016, we established our “boutique publishing” firm in Qualicum Beach.

Notes To Mother is an easy-to-read collection of the most remarkable adventures a person can have, but did not want to tell his mother. Jeff has built yachts in China, then sailed them on delivery past pirates; he was dumped into the South China Sea and found himself walking on it; he was a legal pimp in Peru; Jeff and a few friends were stalked by the Tarahumara in Mexico…
Evacuee by John Napier-Hemy is written through the eyes of a young boy in Victoria who is living with his sister and mother in uncle’s house. Uncle was the Commodore of the Pacific Fleet during World War 2.
