The Little Blue Boat and the Marsh Man’s Gold! picks up a year on from the first adventure – The Little Blue Boat and the Secret of the Broads – which introduced the lovable Little Blue Boat, Able Sea Bear Teddy, the mysterious Marsh Man, the wicked Pincher Pete and the boat’s three young owners to its keen and receptive readers. This children’s novel is an exciting, fast-moving race against time as the three children – Lucy, Sam and Alfie, with Able Sea Bear Teddy and the mysterious Marsh Man – are helped by numerous animals, birds and other wetland creatures as they battle to prevent the evil Pincher Pete and his ruthless gang steal rare bitterns’ eggs, and ancient gold treasure from a sunken Viking longboat! The story takes the readers on a journey through Norfolk and Suffolk’s southern Broads and rivers, and introduces them to some of the creatures that live on, above, below and beside the water. It’s a perfect holiday read for families, especially those heading for waterside or rural locations, and is sure to entertain children and their parents. The Little Blue Boat and the Marsh Man’s Gold! is backed and endorsed by the Broads Authority, as it encourages youngsters to get out and enjoy the outdoors and our wonderful wetlands, whether by boat, canoe, bike, or on foot. The Little Blue Boat and the Secret of the Broads has achieved sales of nearly 1,500 and was nominated for the Jarrold New Writing Award at the Norfolk Arts Awards in 2013. This second adventure takes the book into slightly older territory as the protagonists and audience grow. The book will appeal to children aged five-11.
Growing up on St Lawrence Boulevard, Phil Gold never aspired to be a doctor. But working as an encyclopedia salesman, a bottle washer at Molson, and a fur-coat schlepper in textile factories helped him realize and embrace his parents’ desire for him to follow that path. Looking back at his short wander from the Main to nearby McGill University and the Montreal General Hospital, Gold coins a new word, fortunome, to evoke his sense of a lucky life: “Our genome comes from our parents; our environment or epigenome shapes the expression of who we are; but without a good fortunome, life’s odds turn against us.” A born storyteller, Gold recounts the sights and sounds of a bygone era – horse-drawn milk carts, Yiddish neighbourhoods full of Holocaust survivors, furniture chopped up to keep the home fires burning, sacks of grain lugged off ships in the harbour, antisemitism and ethnic street-fighting, the padlocked doors of the Red Scare, his father’s first car. Gold tells the story of dating and marrying the love of his life, Evelyn, studying under the brilliant Sir Arnold Burgen, and his discovery of CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) in a clear, fast-moving narrative that grips and fascinates. Gold’s Rounds also includes unforgettable stories from six decades of treating patients at the General, scenes from the founding of the famous Goodman Cancer Institute, and reflections on the physician's role and the meaning of a good death. By turns funny, wise, and heartrending, Gold’s memoir of a life well lived will be cherished by both medical professionals and general readers.

US Marshal Piedmont Kelly is looking into a year-old murder after a gold watch with an inscription linking it to a dead rancher, Albert Bourbonette, is discovered by a constable. Intrigued by the first clue in the murder, Kelly's determined to get to the bottom of it. The watch was found in the pocket of a man killed in a saloon confrontation. Witness descriptions lead Kelly to the two remaining Bourbonette brothers, who may be trying to track down and kill every member of the gang of raiders they think robbed and shot Albert. When Kelly rides into the small town of Purdy, he finds evidence that the gang is still operating, working out of a nearby ranch that acts as a front for their illegal activities. But he is puzzled by the disappearance of Bourbonette and why they stuck around just long enough to seek out and shoot only one of the gang.
