Happiness and the Art of Being

Magpies have an eye for shiny things. They search for bright bits of meaning amongst the dirt and filth of their world. Living in a small town on the outskirts of Saskatoon with his emotionally distant and alcoholic father, Ben struggles with his increasingly somber view of society. He is haunted by the death of his older brother and the mysteries of his mother's suicide. Unable to live life like the other magpies around him, he slips deeper into the darkness of his own mind. Deciding that everything wrong in his world can be traced back to the drug dealer, Faran Bird, Ben travels to Saskatoon to kill Faran. In one long and lonely day, Ben starts out on the dusty gravel roads of his hometown, and continues on, to the dirt and grime of the worst parts of Saskatoon.

Are you truly happy? This is the question that helped me to change my life. When I stopped to seriously consider this question, I realized that the answer was no. In fact, I began to wonder what happiness really was. Upon recognizing this void, a quiet yet persistent voice within demanded attention to this, even though I did not know what to do. Eventually, I was guided to take that hard and honest look within. The search initially was to understand why things were going wrong in my life. I was experiencing problems in my job and relationships. On the surface, others perceived me as successful, yet within I felt different, alone, unworthy, confused, and lost.

'Nanny' is a story about a dour and unstable nanny who detonates in a most horrific manner. There is a blinkered police investigation that swings from New England back to Britain, despicable betrayal and many twists and cul-de-sacs. Not a book for the faint-hearted. But an excellent read. Edge of the seat stuff!

A simple, heartfelt wandering of life and its happenings, "Un-Orthodox Boy" is a collection of poems about faith and the steady, sustaining love of God. As a text, "Un-Orthodox Boy" seeks, in its own way, to probe at the subtle boundaries of poetry; James' poems attempt to put on display a measured offering of human feelingthe bright visions, the deep despairs, and the spaces of the heart in-between them. Throughout "Un-Orthodox Boy", James' verse exhibits moments of both levity and gravity in its desire to embroider the soul in the vibrant colours of God's goodness. It attempts to craft cathedrals of awe in the heart and reveal the breadth of individual sensibility. In short, James' work, in its execution, implores its readers to consider what it means to be human and to recollect the presence of the divine in the world.
