Tytti Vertainen has a new job as Editor at the Tapiolinna Times, but before she can unpack her pot plant, an islander comes to her in distress. A mysterious spiritual healer has arrived on the island and started to visit cancer patients. Rumour has it, she has been called there by a saint in a vision to heal the sick, but the patients have started to die and possibly not of natural causes. When the spiritual healer refuses to talk, Tytti’s lie detector begins to yo-yo. Who is this stranger and what does she really want? This is no normal case and Tytti will be forced to be as cunning as her adversary in order to find out what the hell is going on. Sleepy Island Lies is a novel set on the idyllic island of Tapiolinna in the Finnish archipelago; a place where crime is not unheard of, but at least well hidden. A malign presence is threatening the sick and vulnerable. Will Tytti be the one to remedy it?

A Finland Mystery

Sleepy Island Lies

Tytti Vertainen has run out of patience. Staff Writer at the Tapiolinna Times, she has spent enough of her life churning out standard news content to fill a word count. Yesterday her boss, too hungover to care, had let her chase up a promising lead; a police report on some break cables being cut. At the scene of the crime, squatting and peering under the front wheel of the car, she had looked on aghast as she saw the culprit return. A squirrel no less. But fortune takes a turn when she receives a tip-off letter telling her a murder has been committed on the island. Her first question is whose? No body has been found. Undaunted by a lack of clues she jumps to accept the anonymous challenge. If she can keep her enquiries secret and avoid her meddling boss, she might just be able to solve the crime and break the story. The Lazy Days of Temptation is a novel set among the shallow seas and lofty pines of Finland. Detective work soon supplants the frequent cups of coffee as Tytti, jolted from her everyday routine, sets out to find a murderer.

Reviews from the UK site ***** Unique take on the afterlife 'Really enjoyed this rollicking Sci-Fi/Fantasy tale of a unique slant on what the afterlife might be like. David, a high-flying business executive, is killed in a road accident and finds that the afterlife is not at all what he expected. In his new existence, he has to take on a form of employment which leaves him in quite a predicament, and there are many twists and turns as he tries to deal with it. Very absorbing read which moved along at a page-turning pace and left me eager to know what would happen next. ' *****Wacky, weird and wonderful. 'Not my usual genre, however really glad I came across it. Very much enjoyed the story and the way the narrative flicks between past and present but not overmuchly nor in an annoying way. The author shows a really interesting mindset and with the story that moves along at a cracking pace combined with love, regret, romance and a bit of sex you can't go wrong picking this book up. ' Synopsis: What if you had the chance to make amends for everything you had done wrong in your life? What if you find out your partner is being stalked by a sadistic serial killer, who has marked them as their next victim? And what if you have the power to save them? But there is one major problem. You are dead. Davids Sands, an arrogant high flying business executive finds himself waking up after an horrific car accident, in a strange, technically advanced world run by cutthroat companies. It is a world where the dead are known as Players and control a number of accounts for the companies they work for. Accounts are living people. David is surprised to find that the afterlife is not that different from the real live world. That is, until he starts to uncover its disturbing secrets. And there is one secret that will shock him to the core. The story follows David's struggle, firstly to come to terms with his own death and the and the shocking reality that life is a game, and then, discovering his mortal wife is in grave danger, to do all in his power as a Player to save her from a torturous death. Gods Inc is allegory about the struggles of modern life, from infidelity, regret and redemption, to global power and man's exploitation of the world. Gods Inc manifests as a hypothesis about life after death that logically explains phenomena such as reincarnation, ghosts, incubi, and UFOs as real and scientific rather than fanciful or supernatural. Full of twists you won't see coming, and with a sting (or two) in the tail, Gods Inc is a fast paced page turner. Contains some adult scenes.

After the Supreme Court of Canada’s 1999 Marshall decision recognized Mi’kmaw fishers’ treaty right to fish, the fishers entered the inshore lobster fishery across Atlantic Canada. At Burnt Church/Esgenoôpetitj, New Brunswick, the Mi’kmaw fishery provoked violent confrontations with neighbours and the Canadian government. Over the next two years, boats, cottages, and a sacred grove were burned, people were shot at and beaten, boats rammed and sunk, roads barricaded, and the local wharf occupied. Based on 12 months of ethnographic field work in Burnt Church/Esgenoôpetitj, Fishing in Contested Waters explores the origins of this dispute and the beliefs and experiences that motivated the locals involved in it. Weaving the perspectives of Native and non-Native people together, Sarah J. King examines the community as a contested place, simultaneously Mi’kmaw and Canadian. Drawing on philosophy and indigenous, environmental, and religious studies, Fishing in Contested Waters demonstrates the deep roots of contemporary conflicts over rights, sovereignty, conservation, and identity.
