Soap Opera Magazine Named No. 1 Soap Opera News Site of 2026 by High on Films

Ranking cites breaking-news speed, editorial accountability, comprehensive coverage and reader experience in placing Soap Opera Magazine first among leading daytime television news outlets

ONTARIO, Canada, Sept. 10, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Soap Opera Magazine (https://soapoperamagazine.com/), a digital publication covering American daytime television, has been named the No. 1 soap opera news website of 2026 by entertainment publication High on Films. In its newly published ranking, “The 5 Best Soap Opera News Sites Online in 2026,” High on Films placed Soap Opera Magazine first among five major outlets covering the daytime television industry.

Soap Central ranked second, followed by Soaps.com, Michael Fairman TV and Soap Hub.

High on Films named Soap Opera Magazine “Best for: breaking news speed and daily spoiler depth,” citing the publication’s newsroom standards, editorial accountability, continuously updated spoiler coverage and distribution across major digital platforms.

“This recognition means a great deal to our entire team because it is based on the things we have deliberately worked to build,” said Amber Sinclair, Editor-in-Chief of Soap Opera Magazine. “Speed matters in entertainment journalism, but being first means very little if you are not also accurate. Our goal has been to create a publication fans can check every day and know that what they are reading has been sourced, reviewed and written by people who genuinely understand these shows.”

FOUR AREAS USED TO DETERMINE THE RANKINGS

High on Films said four primary factors were considered when evaluating soap opera news websites:

Breaking news speed. The ranking examined how quickly outlets publish significant daytime television news following credible confirmation, including casting changes, contract developments and other major industry stories.

Sourcing and accuracy. Publications were evaluated on their ability to distinguish confirmed information from rumor, publicly correct errors and identify the journalists responsible for their reporting.

Coverage completeness. The ranking considered whether outlets consistently cover all five current American network daytime dramas: “The Young and the Restless,” “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “General Hospital,” “Days of Our Lives” and “Beyond the Gates.”

Reader experience. Mobile performance, advertising density and whether readers are directed to current and useful information were also considered.

High on Films concluded that Soap Opera Magazine earned the top position because it was the only publication in the ranking it viewed as competing strongly across all four areas simultaneously.

The publication also highlighted Soap Opera Magazine’s internal standard of publishing breaking daytime news within 60 minutes of credible confirmation and then updating stories as additional verified information becomes available.

EDITORIAL ACCOUNTABILITY SETS PUBLICATION APART

The ranking specifically pointed to Soap Opera Magazine’s February 2026 appointment of Sinclair as Editor-in-Chief as an important component of the publication’s editorial structure.

Sinclair has spent more than 16 years covering daytime television and has authored more than 25,000 published articles. Her previous positions include Managing Editor at SoapHub, Editor-in-Chief at Daily Drama and Senior Editor at Soap Shows.

Under Sinclair’s leadership, Soap Opera Magazine operates with named journalist bylines, correction standards and editorial reference files designed to prevent longstanding character and storyline inaccuracies from being repeated as fact.

“Soap fans know these shows better than almost anyone,” Sinclair said. “They remember what happened ten years ago, who played a character, how relationships connect and whether something actually aired or was simply rumored. That audience demands accuracy, and they should.”

BUILT FOR DAILY SOAP OPERA COVERAGE

High on Films also cited Soap Opera Magazine’s approach to spoiler coverage as a differentiator.

Alongside daily reporting, the publication maintains continuously updated spoiler pages for each daytime drama, allowing readers to find current information without relying exclusively on individual articles that become outdated as storylines advance.

Soap Opera Magazine publishes coverage of “The Young and the Restless,” “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “General Hospital,” “Days of Our Lives” and “Beyond the Gates,” with distribution extending beyond its website through MSN, NewsBreak and social media.

The No. 1 ranking comes during a year of continued expansion for Soap Opera Magazine.

In February, the publication announced Sinclair as Editor-in-Chief and revealed that it was exploring a return to a physical print edition. In September, Soap Opera Magazine announced nominees for the inaugural Maggie Awards, a fan-voted awards program recognizing performances and storytelling across all five daytime dramas.

“Soap opera journalism has changed dramatically from the magazine era, but the demand for great coverage never disappeared,” Sinclair said. “The audience simply moved online. Our job is to build the newsroom that audience deserves.”

New Memoir ‘Me, Mom & the Monster’ Shines Light on Huntington’s Disease

SOUTH SURREY, British Columbia, July 16, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Author Corinne Brown releases her deeply personal memoir, “Me, Mom & the Monster: Our Dance Through Huntington’s Disease,” a powerful and intimate account of one family’s experience living with a devastating genetic illness. ISBN: 978-1834383958, released June 2, 2026 by Tellwell Publishing.

Image caption: New Memoir ‘Me, Mom & the Monster’ Shines Light on Huntington’s Disease.

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a rare, inherited neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement, cognition, and mental health. The book is dedicated to increasing understanding, reducing stigma, and supporting individuals and families impacted by the condition, while sharing her and her mother’s story.

In “Me, Mom & the Monster,” Brown recounts the moment her mother, Mae, received life-altering news: she had inherited the gene for Huntington’s disease. What follows is a candid and emotionally resonant narrative told through alternating voices of mother and daughter, offering readers an unfiltered look at the physical, emotional, and generational impact of the disease.

Blending memoir with raw storytelling, the book explores not only the progression of HD, but also the enduring strength of family, identity, and love in the face of uncertainty. From Mae’s life as a farming wife, businesswoman, and mother, to Corinne’s own journey alongside her, the story reveals the profound realities behind a diagnosis that affects entire families—not just individuals.

“This book offers a humbling opportunity for us to consider the impact of illness as an extension of the human condition,” says Dr. John Diggle, Clinical Assistant Professor of Neuroscience at the University of British Columbia. “It provides keen insight into not only our individual patients’ struggles, but how the impact of illness can span generations, and the power of family in the provision of care.”

The memoir has also received early critical acclaim. In a five-star review, Reader Views described “Me, Mom & the Monster” as “a memoir of supreme courage, extraordinary devotion, and overwhelming love,” praising Brown’s candid portrayal of one family’s experience with Huntington’s disease.

Brown, a graduate of Memorial University of Newfoundland and Mount Royal University’s journalism program in Calgary, Alberta, brings a lifelong passion for storytelling to her debut book. Now based in South Surrey, British Columbia, she draws on her personal experience and narrative skill to shed light on a condition that remains widely misunderstood.

As awareness efforts continue worldwide, “Me, Mom & the Monster” arrives as both a contribution and a compassionate call to better understand Huntington’s disease and those it affects.

“Me, Mom & the Monster: Our Dance Through Huntington’s Disease” is available now.

Corinne Brown is a Canadian author based in South Surrey, British Columbia. Originally from Newfoundland & Labrador, she holds a Bachelor of Arts from Memorial University and a journalism diploma from Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta.

From Cairo to Canada: Mohsen Rifaat explores identity, history, and belonging in ‘Spaces between the Nile and the True North’

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 14, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In his new memoir, “Spaces between the Nile and the True North: Negotiating Egyptian-Canadian Cultural Fusion” (ISBN: 978-1834381282; released by Tellwell Publishing), author Mohsen Rifaat reflects on a life shaped by migration, cultural change, and the search for belonging. Blending personal memories with historical insight and his own artwork, the book follows his journey from British-occupied and revolutionary Egypt to a new life in Canada.

Image caption: Cover, “Spaces between the Nile and the True North: Negotiating Egyptian-Canadian Cultural Fusion.”

Leaving Cairo in 1968 with his newlywed wife, Sarah, Rifaat began building a new life while navigating the challenges of adapting to a different culture without losing sight of his roots. Over the decades, his career spanned architecture, urban planning, public service, diplomacy, and international business, offering a unique perspective on the intersections of two countries and two identities.

Throughout the memoir, Rifaat also highlights lesser-known historical connections between Egypt and Canada, including how the Suez Crisis influenced Canada’s adoption of the maple leaf flag and the role of a Canadian ambassador in preserving an important heritage building in Cairo. These stories are woven together with reflections on family, identity, and the experience of living between cultures.

Illustrated with Rifaat’s own watercolors, sketches, photographs, and personal memorabilia, the memoir offers readers both a visual and literary record of a life lived across continents.

“Spaces between the Nile and the True North” has drawn praise from author and educator Crystal Hurdle, who writes: “His life becomes a literal and metaphorical collage, the rich text embedded with his images: sumptuous watercolours, blueprints, sketches, photos, and ephemera, a sensory delight.”

Rifaat grew up in Cairo’s Belle Époque and trained as an architect before earning a graduate degree in urban planning from the University of Toronto. Now living in Vancouver, he continues to reflect on his experiences through writing and painting, sharing stories of his life and heritage with future generations.

“Spaces between the Nile and the True North: Negotiating Egyptian-Canadian Cultural Fusion” is available in paperback (ISBN-13: 978-1834381282).

‘What Remains After’ by Pauline J. Grabia Explores Trauma, Memory, and the Long Road to Healing

WELLAND, Ontario, Canada, May 12, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Released by Tellwell Publishing, “What Remains After” by Pauline J. Grabia (ISBN: 978-1834384511) is a literary psychological suspense novel that examines the lasting impact of childhood trauma, the fragility of memory, and the difficult path toward forgiveness and survival.

Image caption: Cover, “What Remains After” by Pauline J. Grabia.

In “What Remains After,” readers meet Beth Clark, a woman returning to her rural Alberta hometown after decades away, following the death of her estranged mother. What begins as a quiet funeral quickly reveals itself to be something far more complicated, as carefully constructed narratives begin to unravel. Inside the abandoned bungalow of her childhood, Beth discovers objects that challenge the sanitized version of her past—forcing her to confront memories of abuse, neglect, and systemic failure.

When Beth’s younger brother is critically injured in a sudden accident, the present collides with the past. As she keeps vigil at his hospital bedside, Beth is drawn back into the defining summer of her youth—a time marked by violence, silence, and the unexpected refuge of a foster family whose quiet compassion offered a glimpse of safety and hope.

Told across dual timelines, “What Remains After” is a deeply reflective novel that explores belief and betrayal, the moral consequences of silence, and the enduring question of what it truly means to forgive. It challenges readers to consider what remains when the truth is finally spoken—and whether healing is possible after profound harm.

Author Pauline J. Grabia is a Canadian novelist whose work centers on trauma, memory, faith, and the complexities of human resilience. Writing under the Stories of Consequence banner, she is committed to telling stories that confront difficult truths without sensationalism while still seeking light and meaning.

Originally conceived as a short story, “What Remains After” evolved into a full-length novel through a deeply personal and cathartic writing process. While not autobiographical, Grabia draws from lived experiences and the stories of others to shape a narrative that speaks to both the devastation of abuse and the possibility of grace and healing.

“I wanted to show that abuse and neglect do not have to be the end,” she explains. “There is hope to be found, even in the darkest times.”

“What Remains After” is now available through major book retailers and online platforms.

New Book ‘Self-Worth: The Path to Happiness’ Explores How Reconnecting with Yourself Leads to a More Fulfilling Life

SUDBURY, Ontario, Feb. 3, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In an era marked by rising stress, disconnection, and declining happiness, author and former investment management chairman Jonathan J. Woolverton offers a timely and practical guide to reclaiming joy and purpose in his new book, “Self-Worth: The Path to Happiness” (ISBN: 978-1834181714 released November 7, 2025 by Tellwell Publishing).

Image caption: New Book “Self-Worth: The Path to Happiness.”

Drawing on decades of professional experience advising individuals and teams, as well as his academic background in economics, accounting, and psychology, Woolverton examines why happiness levels have steadily declined across all stages of life—and what can be done to reverse that trend.

At the heart of the book is a powerful message: happiness begins with self-worth. Woolverton emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, encouraging readers to recognize their strengths, acknowledge their limitations, and engage in activities that bring genuine fulfillment. Through thoughtful insights, “Self-Worth: The Path to Happiness” explores the role of self-esteem, meaningful relationships, financial security, optimism, health, and effective use of free time in building a life that allows individuals to flourish and grow.

Rather than offering quick fixes, the book challenges readers to intentionally create a new path forward. As Woolverton notes, “If you want a different outcome in your life, you will have to create a different path.”

“Self-Worth: The Path to Happiness” is an accessible and reflective work for readers seeking personal growth, improved well-being, and a deeper connection to what truly matters.

Poetry Collection Reflects on Nature, Memory, and Quiet Observation

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 29, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — “Love, Life and Mother Nature: Picture Book of Poems” (ISBN: 978-1834182124 released September, 2025 by Tellwell Publishing) by James C. Glassford is a poetry collection that explores the natural world as a source of reflection, learning, and emotional grounding. Paired with original photography, the book presents nature as both a physical environment and a place for personal contemplation.

Image caption: “Love, Life and Mother Nature: Picture Book of Poems” by James C. Glassford.

Glassford, a retired physician living on Vancouver Island, has maintained a lifelong relationship with the outdoors. He views nature as an alternate classroom and a steady teacher, offering lessons that inform both daily life and creative expression. This perspective shapes the collection, which includes poems about forests, coastlines, wildlife, and moments of stillness, as well as the ways people relate to and interpret the world around them.

While much of the book reflects adult observation and lived experience, some poems examine nature through imagination and memory. One poem, “Nature and a Child’s Mind,” considers how children interpret outdoor experiences through storytelling and familiar narratives, blending observation with creativity.

The book also recognizes the collaborative work behind its creation. The photography featured throughout the collection was taken by the author’s wife, Lynn. Glassford acknowledges the encouragement of friends and family, as well as editorial and production support from the Tellwell Publishing team. The collection includes a poem written in the oral tradition of the Haida Nation, inspired by Haida artist Mike Bellis and his coastal carvings.

“Love, Life and Mother Nature” is suited for readers interested in poetry that engages with nature, reflection, and human experience across different stages of life.

‘The Logic of Psychology’ 2nd Edition Unveils a Bold New Framework for Understanding the Human Mind

Peter McQuaig Redefines Psychology with Groundbreaking Insights in Updated 2nd Edition

TORONTO, Ontario, Canada, Aug. 27, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — “The Logic of Psychology: Of Science at Large, and Everyday Life” (2nd Edition; ISBN: 978-1779625847; released by Tellwell Publishing) by Peter McQuaig is now available, delivering a bold new framework for understanding human psychology and its place within science. With renewed clarity and expanded insights, this updated edition repositions psychology as a discipline with its own inherent logic – giving it a unity, power, and articulation of a renewed, more befitting relationship to physical science.

Image caption: Cover, “The Logic of Psychology” 2nd Edition.

While psychology has often been viewed as a fractured field—its theories and schools of thought seemingly at odds—McQuaig shows us how this fragmentation is not inevitable. Instead, he identifies a critical oversight in classical rationality: the absence of a logic specifically applicable to psychological subject matter. His work reveals that this not only exists, but could transform psychology into a science that has a power parallel to, yet very different than, that of physics.

“Psychology has its own logic and rationality, and this is now made explicit,” says McQuaig. “With its universality and depth, this logic facilitates insight and offers a satisfying, well-founded understanding of self and world.”

The new edition of “The Logic of Psychology” expands on the original with refined explanations, broader applications, and a deeper dive into the philosophical and scientific implications of this novel framework. It speaks not only to psychologists and philosophers, but to anyone seeking a clearer understanding of human nature, cognition, and behavior.

“The Logic of Psychology is not limited in its scope to psychology proper, but has important lessons for diverse subject areas, for example, cognitive science, linguistics and philosophy. This is a ground-breaking work and a must-read for academic and layperson alike.”
— Brian Baigrie, Professor of Philosophy and author of Scientific Revolutions

“McQuaig’s conception is powerful.”
— David Bakan, Professor Emeritus of Psychology and author of The Duality of Human Existence

“Once you grasp [this], it changes everything.”
— Keiller Mackay

Peter McQuaig is a past president of the McQuaig Institute, a leading psychological consulting firm in Canada. A graduate of the University of Toronto in psychology, McQuaig has led the development of cutting-edge psychological assessments and has long studied the intersections of physical science, social science, and philosophy. “The Logic of Psychology” reflects decades of inquiry and offers essential insight for scientists, thinkers, and everyday readers alike.

“The Logic of Psychology: Of Science at Large, and Everyday Life” (2nd Edition) is available now in print and digital formats through Amazon and other major retailers.

‘Unforgiving Thresholds’ – Book Five in ‘The Shaman Speaks’ Series by Don Trudeau Calls Urgent Attention to Humanity’s Tipping Points

WHITEHORSE, Yukon, Canada, Aug. 19, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Ojibwe of Ontario elder, storyteller, and author Don Trudeau announces the release of “Unforgiving Thresholds” (ISBN: 978-1834182582), the fifth installment in his acclaimed ‘The Shaman Speaks’ series. Drawing on more than seven decades of observation as a Shaman in the First Nation depiction, Trudeau offers a powerful warning about the environmental, social, and spiritual crises that humanity has brought upon itself.

Image caption: Cover, ‘Unforgiving Thresholds’ – Book Five in ‘The Shaman Speaks’ Series by Don Trudeau.

“Given that Mother Nature tends to correct unfavorable exceptions of the whole, then change is in order, soon to come,” Trudeau writes. In “Unforgiving Thresholds,” he explores how humanity’s actions have created ripples – like stones thrown into a pond – that expand outward, merging into an unstoppable collapse of thresholds. Some readers may revisit the book’s message multiple times, while others may only see its truth when events make its warnings undeniable.

WHY HE WROTE THE BOOK

“My book is about the many thresholds that mankind is currently witnessing the results of, setting the stage for our own downfall,” says Trudeau. “Mankind’s rise in numbers, polluting habits has gone unchecked for millennia, placing us outside the environmental balance to contribute to a healthy world.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Don Trudeau was taught observance from a young age and has practiced it throughout his 78 years. As a Shaman, he has witnessed profound changes in wildlife, climate, economy, health, weather patterns, and catastrophic land events. He served as a caretaker at Fort Selkirk in the Yukon where he worked to preserve Indigenous history through storytelling and the written word.

“Unforgiving Thresholds” joins previous volumes in ‘The Shaman Speaks’ series, including “The Shaman Speaks, Volume 1: Gather You My Wisdom,” “Volume 2: The Teachings” and “Volume 3: The Elder’s Tears.” With more books in progress and planned, the series remains a vital part of Trudeau’s mission to pass on the wisdom, traditions, and cautionary lessons of the First Nations People.

AVAILABILITY

“Unforgiving Thresholds” is available now through Amazon and other major booksellers.

New book, ‘Whispers from the Shadow,’ spotlights suicide’s silent struggle: A psychologist’s battle with his own shadow

'Whispers from the Shadow: Confronting the Call of Suicide' by Dr. Jacques A. Frigault, blends memoir, facts, philosophical perspectives and a powerful call to action during suicide prevention month in September

TORONTO, Ontario, Aug. 6, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — What if the very voice that drove you to save others was the same one urging you toward the edge? Icy Peaks Publishing is proud to announce the release of “Whispers from the Shadow: Confronting the Call of Suicide” (ISBN: 978-1069171009) by Dr. Jacques A. Frigault. Dr. Frigault holds a doctorate in psychology and breaks decades of silence to share a most personal and haunting story – his own. His work is especially timely with September marking National Suicide Prevention Month and World Suicide Prevention Day observed on September 10.

Image Caption: Front Book Cover, “Whispers from the Shadow,” by Dr. Jacques A. Frigault.

For more than 50 years, Dr. Frigault guided others out of the darkness. He helped them to face personal mental health struggles and to overcome thoughts of suicide. In this book, he reveals the painful truth behind his life’s work: he, too, was battling an inner voice – born from the devastating loss of his older brother to suicide at a young age — that beckoned him toward the same fate.

This deeply moving and eye-opening book is more than a memoir. It’s a testament to the human spirit’s ability to endure and rise. Dr. Frigault takes readers on a journey through grief, resilience and renewal. He offers powerful insight into suicide’s emotional, historical and philosophical roots. He draws from personal experience and clinical expertise, and dispels harmful myths, illuminates warning signs and encourages life-saving dialogue.

As suicide rates continue to climb (53,000+ lives were lost to suicide in North America in 2023), Dr. Frigault’s message is more urgent than ever. He is available for interviews to discuss his book, suicide prevention efforts, and to share how anyone can better equip themselves to recognize and respond to silent suffering.

Icy Peaks Publishing invites media outlets to join in raising awareness by featuring “Whispers from the Shadow” in upcoming stories. Review copies are available upon request, and “Whispers from the Shadow” is now available in paperback and eBook formats through Amazon.

Author Mont Redmond Explores What GOD Means to Our Minds and Spirits in His New Book ‘Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an’

VICTORIA, British Columbia, July 14, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Writer and independent thinker Mont Redmond is getting ready for controversy with his thought-provoking new book, “Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an” (ISBN-10: 1738842509; Released January 2023). A deeply personal and intellectually engaging work, the book invites readers of all faiths, as well as agnostics and the non-religious, to reflect on enduring spiritual and philosophical questions through the lens of the Qur’an.

Image caption: cover, “Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an” by Mont Redmond.

“Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an” confronts universal concerns: the problem of evil, the rationality of faith, the limits of science, and the nature of reality. Redmond weaves together insights from Plato, Aristotle, Al-Ghazzālī, John Stuart Mill, and others, demonstrating how Qur’anic metaphysics can illuminate debates that have challenged humanity for millennia.

“This book was not meant to be a commentary on a religion,” says Redmond. “I regard it, rather, as a way of overcoming the spiritual, intellectual, and emotional fissures between faith and thought, between a declining Western civilization and an Islamic world-view seen as ever more obsolete, and between the Qur’an and the human heart. The Qur’an not only builds bridges but also urges us to cross them.”

The book speaks to Muslim readers seeking deeper engagement with their faith, to spiritual seekers navigating modernity, and to anyone wrestling with questions of existence and ultimate value. Through a series of candid, challenging, and unexpected reflections, Redmond guides readers to consider their place in the cosmos and their relationship with the Absolute.

In keeping with his mission to encourage open inquiry and the exchange of ideas, Mont Redmond is offering the full book free to read at his website: Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an.

About the Author:

Mont Redmond, a Muslim living in Canada after spending nearly twenty years abroad, presently works as a translator and interpreter. His writing invites readers to reflect on the beliefs we live by, offering a broad and diverse range of subject matter. Aimed at academics, students, believers of all types, and those open to new perspectives, Redmond’s work speaks to anyone seeking inspiration and thoughtful engagement with the deeper issues of faith and modernity.

“Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an” is available now through major online book retailers in Canada, the U.S., and internationally — and free to read online at https://ideas-inspired.blog.

New Book ‘Rigged: The Misadventures of a Classic Wooden Sailboat’ Chronicles a Lifetime of Maritime Mishaps and Family Memories

VICTORIA, B.C., July 2, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Tony Cond, a retired Royal Canadian Navy Marine Systems Engineer and lifelong sailor, shares a collection of personal stories in his new book, “Rigged: The Misadventures of a Classic Wooden Sailboat” (ISBN: 978-1779622808), released June 2025 through Tellwell Publishing. The book captures decades of misadventures, quiet triumphs, and family traditions centered around a classic 1947 wooden boat named Rufus.

Image caption: Cover, “Rigged: The Misadventures of a Classic Wooden Sailboat,” by Tony Cond.

Born in southern Ontario and raised on the waters of the Muskoka Lakes, Cond’s lifelong connection to sailing began with summers spent navigating the challenges of boat ownership. “Rigged” follows the often humorous, sometimes frustrating, and always meaningful relationship between a family and their boat — a vessel that would ultimately weave itself into the identity of those who cared for it.

Set in Ontario and British Columbia, “Rigged” speaks to readers beyond the sailing community. It’s a story for anyone who has wrestled with a passion project, weathered its surprises, and found the experience shaped who they are. With a blend of dry humour and thoughtful reflection, Cond invites readers to share in the lessons and laughs of a life spent on — and sometimes under — the water.

Tony Cond lives in Victoria, B.C., with his wife Debbie. When not consulting in the marine sector, he enjoys sailing, restoring classic vehicles, and gardening.

“Rigged: The Misadventures of a Classic Wooden Sailboat” is now available through major online book retailers.

In “Harbinger,” the elite of Praetoria are not known for possessing any special abilities—so why is the only imperial princess plagued by vision-like nightmares? These chilling premonitions warn of her family’s demise and the destruction of her world. Each day, they grow stronger, their horrors more vivid.

When an imperial rook returns to the kingdom, the tone of her dreams shifts, offering her a fleeting sense of relief. Yet, his presence only deepens the mystery, as the laws of the realm strictly forbid a union between an elite and a rook. Their growing connection, however, becomes the key to a larger struggle—one orchestrated by hidden traitors seeking to usurp the throne.

Four mischievous female moiohs conspire to bring them together, forging an uncertain path toward a future threatened by treachery, duty, and the weight of destiny. As dark forces close in, the princess must decide whether to follow the path laid before her or defy the laws of her people to save the ones she loves.

Through creative storytelling and detailed world-building, Niah Bach crafts a journey filled with tension, romance, and intrigue. “Harbinger” is perfect for fans of immersive fantasy and character-driven narratives.

80th Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation Marked by the Release of ‘Kalman & Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz,’ told in their own words

VANCOUVER, B.C., Canada, Jan. 20, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — On January 27, 2025, the world will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. On this historic day, author Richard K. Lowy launches ”Kalman and Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz” (ISBN: 978-1779410092), a powerful firsthand account of resilience and survival in the face of unimaginable evil, released by Tellwell Publishing.

Image caption: ”Kalman and Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz” by Richard K. Lowy.

This extraordinary book tells the true story of two young boys—Leopold, the author’s father, and his friend Kalman—both twins from separate families, who were brought together in Auschwitz and became victims of Dr. Josef Mengele’s brutal experiments. Separated from their twin sisters, the boys endured harrowing conditions in “Mengele’s Zoo” and witnessed the inner workings of the camp’s hospital barracks and SS guard shack. Their bond and courage helped them survive the horrors that claimed millions.

For six and a half months, Leopold became Kalman’s protector, guiding him through the horrors of the guard shack with his sharp wit and unwavering courage. When the Russian Army liberated Auschwitz in January 1945, the boys were separated and presumed each other dead. For 56 years, Kalman searched for “his Lipa,” the boy who protected him.

Why This Story Matters

Eighty years after the liberation of Auschwitz, Holocaust survivors’ voices are fading. Kalman and Leopold preserves an unparalleled perspective, offering firsthand insights into Mengele’s experiments and the unique experiences of twin children imprisoned in Auschwitz. The book highlights not just the atrocities but also the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit.

A Timely Call to Action

As antisemitism and Holocaust denial rise globally, Kalman and Leopold serves as both a warning and a call to preserve history. This anniversary is not just a remembrance—it is a demand to confront hatred, uphold the truth, and educate future generations.

Events Honoring the Release

On January 27, commemorative events and discussions will take place worldwide to honor this milestone. The release of Kalman and Leopold will be central to these efforts, offering a deeply personal narrative that connects history to the ongoing fight against prejudice and oppression.

Praise for “Kalman & Leopold”

“Lowy’s narrative technique immerses readers in the lived experiences of his subjects, making their pain, resilience, and humanity palpable in ways that transcend traditional historical documentation.” – K.C. Finn for Readers’ Favorite

About the Author:

Richard K. Lowy, the son of Leopold, is an internationally acclaimed producer and creative director whose work has spanned collaborations with legendary artists and world leaders. His passion for preserving his father’s history led him to create Leo’s Journey: The Story of the Mengele Twins, a documentary narrated by EGOT-winning actor Christopher Plummer. (leosjourney.com) Lowy’s dedication to honoring the voices of Holocaust survivors culminates in this deeply personal and historically significant book.

Availability – Book Launch – January 27, 2025

“Kalman & Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz” launches January 27, 2025, on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Available through Amazon and all major online retailers.

Paula J. Conlon Honors the Legacy of Comanche Artist and Flute Player Doc Tate Nevaquaya in New Biography

Known for revitalizing the Native American flute tradition, Doc Tate’s music and art revealed the beauty and richness of Comanche culture to the world

EDMONTON, Alberta, Dec. 27, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Ethnomusicologist and author Paula J. Conlon celebrates the life and artistic contributions of Doc Tate Nevaquaya with her new book, “Doc Tate Nevaquaya: Master Comanche Artist and Flute Player” (ISBN: 978-0228866374). Released Oct. 30, 2024 by Tellwell Publishing, this biography honors Doc Tate Nevaquaya (1932–1996), a master artist, musician, and Knowledge Keeper of the Numunu (Comanche) Nation’s traditional arts.

Image caption: “Doc Tate Nevaquaya: Master Comanche Artist and Flute Player” by Paula J. Conlon.

The book offers a heartfelt portrayal of Doc Tate Nevaquaya, whose work transcended cultural barriers. Known for revitalizing the Native American flute tradition, Doc Tate’s music and art revealed the beauty and richness of Comanche culture to the world. As his wife Charlotte recalled, “He would say, ‘We are not savages. We love, too.’” This sentiment echoes throughout Doc Tate’s artwork and music, which emphasized themes of love, beauty, and identity.

For Conlon, this project is deeply personal. Listening to Comanche Flute Music Played by Doc Tate Nevaquaya in 1979 inspired her lifelong journey as an ethnomusicologist. Living in Oklahoma allowed Conlon to collaborate closely with Doc Tate’s sons, Edmond and Timothy Tate Nevaquaya, to share their father’s enduring legacy.

Through vivid storytelling and insightful research, Doc Tate Nevaquaya: Master Comanche Artist and Flute Player serves as a tribute to Doc Tate Nevaquaya’s artistry, love for his culture, and his impact on preserving Indigenous traditions.

The Red Horse Rides Again: Simon Chop Reveals South Sudan’s Dark History in His New Book

MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. 11, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In his powerful new book, “The Red Horse of the Apocalypse: The Spirit of Violence, Revenge, and Conquest” (ISBN: 978-0228846253; Nov. 25, 2024), Simon Chop uncovers the tragic and violent power struggles that have plagued South Sudan, offering an eye-opening exploration of the world’s youngest nation. Through a compelling narrative, Chop examines how the forces of violence, tribalism, and revenge have shaped South Sudan’s history, from its long fight for independence to the catastrophic civil war that followed.

Image caption: Cover, “The Red Horse of the Apocalypse: The Spirit of Violence, Revenge, and Conquest” by Simon Chop.

The red horse of the apocalypse, symbolising bloodshed and destruction, serves as a central motif throughout the book. It reflects the violence that has plagued South Sudan since its struggle for freedom under the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army. While independence initially brought hope, internal divisions quickly led to war and the nation’s fragile peace disintegration.

Chop’s experiences as a refugee offer a unique lens through which to view the conflict. Born in rural South Sudan, Chop was one of the first in his village to receive an education despite limited access to schooling. After fleeing his home due to the war, he spent years in refugee camps in Ethiopia and Kenya before eventually settling in Australia. His journey, combined with his academic background in Social Justice and International Relations, informs his understanding of the political and social forces at play in South Sudan’s tragic history.

In this book, Chop also tells the stories of the Nuer people, whose struggles and resilience amid war and displacement are central to understanding the region’s broader crisis. “The Red Horse of the Apocalypse” offers a sobering look at the human cost of political ambition, revenge, and the forces that tear nations apart.

New Historical Fiction Novel Delves Into the Brutality of Impressment in 18th and 19th Century England

TORONTO, Ontario, Dec. 10, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Independent author W Blair Doman releases a gripping historical fiction novel, “Pressed: Recruitment by Force” (ISBN: 978-0228815914), released by Tellwell Publishing. The book sheds light on the lives disrupted by England’s practice of impressment – the forced recruitment of men and boys for naval service – during the 1700s and 1800s. This novel offers a poignant look at the human cost of war and the plight of those who endured it unwillingly.

Image caption: Cover, “Pressed: Recruitment by Force.”

For over a century, England manned its warships by forcibly impressing common men, often from impoverished areas, and sending them to sea under brutal conditions. “Pressed: Recruitment by Force” captures the harsh reality faced by two families whose lives were upended by the press gangs – roving groups authorized by the king to seize civilians for naval service. Doman weaves a narrative of hardship, loss, and survival, depicting the intertwined fates of Mona Froud and Maria Duncan, two women left behind to navigate life without their loved ones.

“When I began writing, I wanted to tell the story of the common people who had no choice in the matter,” said W Blair Doman. “The book highlights the struggles of those taken against their will, with no concern for the families they left behind. It’s a story of resilience in the face of government-sanctioned injustice.”

A STORY OF LOSS, LOVE, AND ENDURANCE

In the novel, readers follow Mona, whose husband, Ned, was taken by the press gangs, leaving her to raise their children alone. Fifteen years later, she still does not know if he is alive or dead. Meanwhile, young lovers Maria Duncan and Will Ryketts see their future shattered when Will is taken during a tavern raid. Their stories intersect as the two women struggle to survive and protect their families while hoping for a reunion that may never come.

An excerpt from “Pressed: Recruitment by Force” provides a glimpse into the world of 1819 England, where love and hope are overshadowed by the realities of a nation at war. The narrative captures the emotional turmoil of the characters as they navigate life without certainty or support.

W Blair Doman embarked on the path of self-publishing with the encouragement of friends and family who believed in the importance of the story. The author credits their support as the driving force behind bringing the book to print.

“I was encouraged to pursue self-publishing by those closest to me,” Doman added. “Their belief in the story and the message it carries inspired me to share it with a broader audience.”

W Blair Doman brings history to life with a passion for storytelling that reflects on the human experience. “Pressed: Recruitment by Force” marks a significant step in sharing lesser-known historical realities through a deeply personal narrative lens. With a dedication to accuracy and emotional depth, Doman aims to provide a voice to those who endured forced recruitment and the families who suffered in silence.

“Pressed: Recruitment by Force” is available now in paperback and eBook formats on major online platforms.

“This book isn’t just about sharing Paula’s story; it’s about challenging the system status quo and preventing other families from experiencing the same devastating loss,” said Lynn Gallant Blackburn.

A percentage of the proceeds from the book will go to charities that support women who have experienced violence.

About the Author:

After achieving a bachelor’s degree in history from Queen’s University, Lauren Gouin spent her twenties travelling and living in various countries, on various continents. She lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina for one year and then moved to London, England for three to work in digital marketing.

At the age of 27, her life took an unexpected turn when a mysterious, acute illness forced her to move home. Left with an unclear diagnosis, half a year’s recovery, and total uncertainty, she re-evaluated her life’s direction. The road to a more creative career path became a source of healing as she enrolled in Vancouver Film School’s screenwriting program, a space to explore her love for the vibrational capacity of story. Her journey as a poet was born shortly after her graduation.

She is now a writer/director for TV and film, a script editor, and a story consultant, but really, she is an artist of all sorts with a constant desire to put ideas on a page. Communication is her love language and these are her letters to those out there who, like her, feel drawn to the rhythmic beauty of words.

“Chasing Shadows” is now out through Tellwell Publishing (RRP $8.60) and available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indigo and more.

Author Brian D. McLean Releases New Book ‘Our Global Crisis,’ a Timely Examination of Climate Change and Societal Collapse

VANCOUVER, B.C., Canada, Oct. 29, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Brian D. McLean, a passionate conservationist and environmentalist, announced the release of his book, “Our Global Crisis” (ISBN: 978-0993607226; Tellwell), an urgent and insightful exploration of the environmental challenges facing humanity today.

Image caption: “Our Global Crisis” by Author Brian D. McLean.

As global temperatures rise, natural disasters intensify, and ecosystems degrade, McLean draws comparisons between modern society and the collapse of past civilizations such as the Incas, the Mayans, and the Rapanui of Easter Island. He warns that, without immediate action, we may be headed toward a similar fate.

“Our Global Crisis” takes readers on a journey through the environmental and societal patterns that have led to the downfall of great civilizations. It explores how climate change, rampant consumerism, and humanity’s ongoing exploitation of the planet are pushing us closer to a tipping point.

“Our thirst for consumer goods and other conveniences of life has grown at an alarming and disproportionate rate compared with our needs. This has put an enormous strain on our ability to locate and extract the natural resources of our planet,” writes McLean. He challenges readers to reconsider their impact on the planet, and offers practical solutions for adapting to the realities of climate change.

“The time for action is now,” McLean states. “Humanity’s ongoing exploitation of Earth has created problems that can no longer be ignored. If Earth and Life are to survive, each of us will need to make sacrifices. It is time to adapt. It is time for us to evolve.”

With 22 years of meticulous research, “Our Global Crisis” not only examines the factors contributing to environmental destruction but also presents a clear path toward sustainability. The final chapter provides actionable steps to avert catastrophe, from rethinking energy consumption to fostering a global commitment to conservation.

About the Author:

Brian D. McLean is a former Medical Laboratory Technologist and Information Systems Specialist who turned his passion for the outdoors into a new career focused on environmental conservation. Over the past two decades, he has worked to restore riparian and temperate forest ecosystems affected by clearcut forestry practices. A keen observer of human nature and a devoted environmentalist, McLean has spent the last 22 years compiling and crafting “Our Global Crisis”. When he isn’t working on environmental restoration, McLean enjoys stargazing and astrophotography.

McGregor Pedals Introduces the Classic Fuzz Pedal

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Boutique pedal company McGregor Pedals has launched its newest pedal: The Classic Fuzz. Designed for both guitar and bass, the Classic Fuzz pedal captures the sound, feel, and response of the original 1960s two-transistor fuzz boxes using all modern, stable parts. It is rich, moody, interactive and in the right hands, untamed.

"It follows on the heels of McGregor's previous acclaimed pedals -- designed and hand-soldered in Canada by Garth Heslop -- including the Crunch Transparent Overdrive, a single-channel, low-gain overdrive pedal, and the Crunch Plus Overdrive-distortion, a creamy medium-gain pedal," says company founder Garth Heslop.

Like the new Classic Fuzz, all McGregor Pedals are tuned for both guitar and bass.

See the Classic fuzz guitar demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qo_xljBPnw

See the Classic fuzz bass demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlv-ReP_P3Q

THE CLASSIC FUZZ HAS A STRAIGHTFORWARD THREE-KNOB CONTROL SET AND SIDE-MOUNTED TRIMPOT:

* FUZZ: This allows you to dial in the amount of fuzz required. Since most of the action happens in the upper regions of typical fuzz pots, they used a reverse log pot here so that the final 15% starts at noon.

* BASS: this allows you to dial in the amount of bottom end you want. Fully right, this pedal is thick. For a sound more typical of modern silicon fuzz pedals, dial this back.

* VOLUME: This attenuates the post-effect signal.

* LED Brightness (unmarked trimpot on the side): Please make the adjustment gently using a jeweler's screwdriver.

KEY CLASSIC FUZZ FEATURES:

* Hand soldered in Canada

* High grade components picked for their superior sound and response

* True bypass with heavy duty switch

* Standard 9-volt DC center-negative power operation (no battery compartment)

* Top-mounted audio jacks and power input to help with packed pedal boards

The Classic Fuzz is currently priced at $185 and can be purchased directly from the McGregor Pedals online store via https://www.mcgregorpedals.com/.

Groundbreaking Verde Group White Paper Exposes Why CX Investments Often Fail

TORONTO, Canada /ScoopCloud/ -- The Verde Group, a leader in customer experience insights, is proud to announce the release of its latest white paper, "The Great CX Challenge: Linking Customer Experience Insights to Business Outcomes," authored by Executive V.P., Dennis Armbruster. This comprehensive study addresses the critical disconnect between significant investments in customer experience (CX) solutions and the resulting business outcomes.

As the customer experience industry continues to grow at a robust pace - projected to reach $120 billion by 2026 according to Yahoo Finance - the need for effective and actionable CX insights has never been more pressing. Despite the surge in investment and priority given by executive leadership, many organizations are facing persistent frustration and sub-optimal results.

KEY FINDINGS FROM THE WHITE PAPER:

The Disconnect: While 80% of businesses prioritize improving their CX, only 6% have seen a significant increase in performance, and over half of customers report a decline in service quality over the past year.

Legacy Methods Falling Short: Traditional CX research methods and beacon metrics often fail to correlate directly with changes in customer behaviors and financial performance, leading to organizational leadership dismissing the value of CX insights.

The E-A-B Model: The Verde Group introduces the E-A-B (Experiences, Attitude, Behavior) model as a solution to traditional CX measurement pitfalls. By focusing on customer experiences rather than attitudes, businesses can better understand the financial impact specific CX friction points have on customer behavior.

Revenue@Risk® Analysis: The white paper highlights the patent-pending Revenue@Risk® methodology, an advanced analytical approach developed by the Verde Group that links CX friction points directly to customer behaviors and financial opportunity. It also produces a new and financially correlated beacon metric that has proven to align with changes in business financials.

Dennis Armbruster, author of the white paper, stated: "The key to transforming customer experience insights into actionable business results lies in moving beyond outdated measurement methods. By focusing on the specific experiences that drive negative market action and financial risk, businesses can elevate the value of their CX insights in driving topline growth and profitability."

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Investment Gaps: Many companies are not fully utilizing CX insights to guide strategic decisions, often due to a lack of connection between insights and financial performance.

New Methodologies: The E-A-B model and Revenue@Risk® methodology offer a more precise approach to understanding and addressing CX issues.

Strategic Impact: Leveraging advanced metrics can help businesses not only drive positive shifts in customer behavior but also meaningful financial growth.

The white paper underscores the necessity for businesses to reassess their CX measurement strategies and adopt more effective approaches to achieve tangible improvements in their businesses.
