The first book from Mysteries of Canada was launched in 2005 in Newfoundland.

The SS Ethie and the Hero Dog chronicles a shipwreck with no loss of life, a tribute to a dog, the trials and tribulations of seeking out an existence in the 1920's and 30's in Atlantic Canada, and the remarkable voyage of a man, a dog and a dog collar from Newfoundland to Alaska and back.

This story was 85 years in the making and took almost 5 years to research.

What if the voters of Quebec said “Yes” to separation—and no one cared?

In the post-referendum period, Prime Minster Jennifer Clark rallies her country to move forward without Quebec while Quebec Premier Robert Benoît struggles as he tries to move his new country in a new direction. Unfortunately for Benoît and Quebecers, twenty plus years of telling themselves that everything will rosy outside of Canada is being shown as a oft-repeated myth. As Quebec degrades into a sorry state, American corporate raiders are trying to pick off one of their main industries and First Nations people from the north are showing that Quebec is, indeed, divisible.

In the Rest of Canada, Quebec separation is seen as a fresh start and Clark is determined to make the best of it.

Country Out of Crisis ends with an unexpected turn of events that might just be a prediction of things to come.
