Michael's new novel, THE FULCRUM, published June 10, 2025 with GFB.

"By equal measure inspiring and eye-opening, this riveting tale of the climate realities headed our way had me on the edge of my seat.

Canada in 2026 is beset by many issues. Some global, some national, some local. For this one da

I very much liked this book. I have been a Fleming Bind fan for many decades. I learned a great deal that I do not know about Fleming. Recommend the book.

Of Carl Hiassen’s many funny books Razor Girl is my favourite. His day job as a columnist for the Miami Herald provides him with a rich vein of Florida reality which he has mined brilliantly for its comedic potential.
