This is a guys' novel about guys, four of them to be exact, three who are single and the other married with kids. All are desperately seeking a place in the world; all think too much, worry too much, examine every aspect of their lives too much. Then, one day, one of these brilliant idiots puts his foot down and makes the others take charge of their lives. They hit the road searching for something, anything that might take them away from their humdrum lives. In the process, there's self-discovery. That leaves us with a novel that is vibrant, funny, touching and ultimately sad. You wind up questioning the roles of adult males in modern societies. That may be a good or bad thing.

Sent on a mission of good will to represent Earth on an alien world, Alice isn't quite sure what she'll find. With her pet cat Meowhugs, an obnoxious parrot named Mara, and a ship named Joe as her only companions, Alice finds herself trapped on the time-dilating rim of a black hole, escaping just in time to watch the sun devour our solar system. Meanwhile--or perhaps at some other time, entirely--Amunet and Keku are students in a special school in a 10-Dimensional world. In their classes, they are expected to create Universes out of chaos, divinity, and just a dash of dark energy. But Universe creation is not an exact science, with every attempt requiring its own roll of the dice. When a creator makes a mistake, it rains stars and planets. Is there something they can do to help Alice in her quest for a new home? A blend of literary storytelling and unexpected humor, "How to Make a Big Bang"is filled with enough science fact that readers might just learn something along the way.

Tara McCauley, a young detective in the Calgary police service, is on a great date when she gets a call from her boss, the oh-so-cool Jerrod Jackson. The beautiful executive assistant to the president of the ‘BEAR’ has been murdered. The BEAR is responsible for approving an application by the Chinese National Oil Company for a major new oilsands plant, a crucial project for the future of the Alberta economy. Tara, who has a master’s degree in criminology and little experience, knows this is her big chance, but she has to overcome sexism in the service and her own ADHD impulsive behaviour. As Tara and Jerrod get closer to the truth, it appears the BEAR is covering up findings of groundwater contamination at the oil sands, but the executive close ranks. Driven by her need to prove herself, Tara takes bigger and bigger risks, putting herself in extreme danger as events come to a head.
