I would be selling and signing my four different books: two are sci-fi adventure books for middle grade readers, The Almost True Adventures of Brandon and Josh and sequel, The Not So True Adventures of Brandon, Josh and Adam. The third book is a sci-fi novel, The Fifth Guardian: A Symphony of Discord, for older teens and adults-a multiversal musical maelstrom, and the fourth my fantasy novel for YA and adults, an allegory for today’s world-The Orbstars of T’varin, the first in the T’varin trilogy.
I very recently completed the first book I have ever written! This book arose between July 7 to July 31, 2026 and was published on Aug 4! 😮 Although the sincere truth is; I had never intentioned writing a book for my entire life!! 🤔 Until my return from a 4-day vacation Jun 18-21, 2026 to Whistler BC. The purpose of this vacation was to attend the “Awakening to Peace in Challenging Times” retreat which included 5 live sessions with a personal favourite author & speaker of mine, Eckhart Tolle! 🙏 In one trip, there existed 2 bucket-list items of mine! The inspiration to write was awakened in me, but when I sat down, I really had no exact idea of what I would type!! My inner mind said, “You have to write (tell) your story first”! Insinuating how naïve I am at not knowing that this must be the starting point in the first place! It sounded logical! My writings are a kind of story-of-Life; written in a memoir-style of a life well-lived & filled with Fun, with a capitol F! I would say, that I am a Perceiver of "my life" and I have come to the conclusion, that I am a balanced, intuitive man & passionate man from London Ontario! This book is my conscious attempt to look back through the years of my now 63-year-old life; with the purpose of inviting close friends, distant friends, new friends, and everyone to join in the inner workings of my head translated to my words for All to enjoy Fun journey together! My hope is that through my words, each person will find their own inner, fun child again. The kid-filled sense of wonder...no limitations...and; that each reader takes a small break from their busy life; for quality time alone, to create a space to allow their own inner voice to be a point of Inspiration for them as a unique tool that is within us all; the same as me! 🎢😆
I say I write stories without happy endings. My latest book is called And Then They Found Out, which is about two girls in the 90s dealing with online predators in their own way. My first book was a memoire of postpartum depression called Second-Rate Goddess that I wrote with a lot of sarcasm as my coping mechanism. I have two chapbooks. One is The Fates of Three, which is a a book of short stories with darker themes aimed at teenagers. The other is Subpar Expectations, which is short fiction about getting old. I also have a YA book of short stories called Danni Fundy: Occult Babysitter, that I cowrote with Matthew Del Papa. It's a fun book of short stories of two babysitters having paranormal adventures. I also have a few bags with logos based on my book covers.

Ruthie’s Dusty Path to Courage—a new novel for children ages 8 to 12—takes place on a farm in the Canadian prairies during the Great Depression. Ruthie’s story is a reminder that the challenges faced by previous generations during the “dirty thirties” are still relevant to children and families today. In the Dust Bowl of the 1930’s, courage grows where you least expect it. Ruthie lives on a dry prairie farm where it hasn’t rained in years. Dust storms darken the sky, and the crops are long gone. Her father calls it a battle—one they must face with courage and hope. But Ruthie doesn’t feel very brave. Her big brother, Roy, loves scaring her with creepy critters and spooky stories. And Ruthie worries about school, with teasing, embarrassing clothes, and games that she always seems to mess up. Then there are the howls in the night, the troublemakers down the road, and a mysterious stranger. And the biggest fear of all? That the drought might force them off their land forever. At least she has her dog Rover. His kind eyes and wagging tail make things feel a little better. But when Rover’s safety is threatened, Ruthie must find strength she never knew she had. Can Ruthie discover what it means to be brave when everything around her feels broken and dry? Author Leslie Ruth Damude grew up listening to stories told by her mother—Ruth (Wensley) Mogenson—about her early childhood on a Saskatchewan farm during the 1930’s. Inspired by these experiences, Leslie wrote Ruthie’s Dusty Path to Courage as a story of courage, family, resilience, and hope in tough times. It includes 24 colour illustrations, and discussion questions for families, classrooms, and homeschool groups. Further information is available at: https://leslieruthdamude.com

Blind date with a book. What a lovely gift idea for book lovers! It's a thoughtful and cozy package that includes everything needed for a comfortable reading experience. The addition of a hot chocolate or tea packet, sucker or chocolate, and under-eye mask adds a delightful touch of self-care. The bookmark tracker and sticky notes are also practical tools for any reader. It's a great way to encourage people to take some time for themselves, relax, and get lost in a good book.
