Exciting World Adventures is a collection of short stories that take place around the world, in settings ranging from Africa all the way to the Arctic. Some tales are fictional depictions of people from vastly different places and walks of life, such as Comfort, a pensive African girl who longs for nothing more than to go to school, and Robert, a young professional who is suddenly freed from his stifling marriage by a shocking turn of events. Other tales are truth stranger than fiction, offering highlights from the author’s globe-trotting life as a naval petty officer, scuba diving enthusiast, and international development volunteer. For example, there was the time when Ephrem landed a plane on a long-abandoned airstrip during a thunderstorm—and had to take off the next day without a runway. Then there was the time when a taxi driver who had agreed to take Ephrem and his wife to the Indian village of Dostpur turned out to have no idea where he was going. By turns funny, heartwarming, and sobering, each and every one of the stories in this book explores the unexpected, complex, and ever curious nature of humanity in societies across the globe.

Their skills did not match the requirements. This caused large anomalies in the Branch. The lack of special training in detecting malfeasance invited those with fraud in mind.

When Tim Crozier steps in as the new Federal Receiving Officer in Linwood, Ontario, he intends to restore order and justice to the office where violations had been prevalent. Tim uses his trained eye to follow the trail of malfeasance and right the wrongs left behind. Standing in the way of Tim’s good intentions include a bully lawyer, hidden assets, and an out-of-line trustee. With the help of his diligent assistants, Comfort and Sophie, Tim introduces a new era at Linwood Bankruptcy. His example results in sound training for all Official Receivers.
