WHAT DOES AN ENGINEER KNOW ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH? by John Elliott-White
My mother often told me how, shortly before my fourth birthday, she found me hitting my older brother while he was reading – because I couldn’t. She set about teaching me, and I haven’t stopped since; books and learning have always been an important part of my life.
Read MoreCommunication – Two Tales, Miles & Months Apart By Ann Göth
Tale 1 is from my book “Volcanic Adventures in Tonga” (website). Imagine yourself stuck on a remote South Pacific island, without the comforts of Western civilisation but surrounded by friendly Polynesians. One telephone on the island, the social hub. When walking the short distance to the phone, one stops each time someone else walks the other way. Conversations are to be held about where and why one wanders, and many of those walking in the opposite direction now change course to follow you. A phone call is a social sensation, after all.

Read MoreA Few Words from Will Mullin
Writing has been an on-again-off-again hobby for me ever since I was very little. When I was about six years old, Dad set up a family computer. One of the first things I remember doing with it is firing up Microsoft Word and typing a very short story. (It would probably be more accurate to say I just hunt-and-pecked a bunch of silly sentences together that vaguely connected to one another.) Halfway through middle school, writing stories became one of my more consistent hobbies. I didn’t try to make them publishable or anything, but I did have lots of ideas and overall met with success putting them to paper…bar one. A multi-part mystery, featuring numerous separate cases all tying together to form one cohesive story. For many reasons—mostly laziness—I never got around to it.
Read MoreAll about ‘Brother Broken’ – Cecile Beaulieu
‘Brother Broken’ is not a tale of woe. It’s not a romance novel, a how-to handbook, a travel guide, a pot-boiler, a sci-fi sequel or a fantasy adventure. It’s a Saskatchewan true story. A slice of history that’s not dark or depressing. A memoir of hope and gratitude, with a touch of ridiculous―though some parts are complicated, because there is nothing straightforward pertaining to ‘broken’.
