Book Description
The host of CBC Radio’s Under the Influence, Terry O’Reilly, uncovers the surprising power of screwing up The Incredible Hulk was originally supposed to be grey, but a printing glitch led to the superhero’s iconic green colour. NHL hall-of-famer Serge Savard’s hockey career nearly ended prematurely, not because of an injury, but because of an oversight. And the invention of a beloved treat, the Popsicle, began with a simple mistake. In his fascinating and meticulously researched new book, Terry O’Reilly recounts how some of the biggest breakthroughs and best-loved products originated with a mistake. Some people’s “mistakes” led to dramatic life changes—losing their jobs, their companies and often their credibility—only for them to discover new opportunities on the other shore. Other people’s mistakes seemed minor, almost insignificant—and yet they unexpectedly resulted in a famous brand, a legendary band or a groundbreaking work of art. And in a few instances, a mistake actually saved lives. The fear of failing often holds us back. My Best Mistake will change the way you think about screwing up. It will encourage you to accept mistakes and embrace the obstacles that may arise from these errors, leading you to unexpected breakthroughs and silver linings of your own.

Book Description
This book is about getting up after the Fall. It’s about steadfast trust and truth in God and His Word. Even in our weakest moments, God remains the same. He doesn’t change because we encounter situations. This book is about the flesh, feelings, and faith. It’s about God’s faithfulness even when aren’t. It’s about the effects of sin, shame, remorse, regrets, and The Redeeming Power of God's Faithfulness. It’s about the "Get Up" because the fall ain’t final. It’s about the Blessed assurance of conviction, repentance, confession, correction, and counsel. I will forever proclaim God is faithful and can be trusted. In life, we will be tested, tried, and tempted. Those are facts! But the Truth is when we trust the truth of God’s Word, He causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus every time. God can be trusted with our ups, downs, ins, and outs, yes’s, and help me’s. So with great honor and appreciation, I expose my lesson, because faithful is He who has called us He will also do it. He will perfect and perform those things that concern us. Scripture says in Revelations 12:11 KJV “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death”. I pray as you find yourself in life’s twists and turns, you will always know that God cares, He can and He will. He’s no respecter of persons...HE SO LOVED! His love covers a multitude of sins and He can be trusted! He’s not like us, He never gives up on us! So as you read this memoir, know there’s always a Come up and Come out in God. God is the Answer and His Answer is Jesus. Period! Sincerely shared, Love Sister Nina Haliburton (Daughter of the King)

Book Description
Is it too much to ask for a relationship that works? When Stella Grant realises her perfect romance is a lie and that she's the other woman, she flees to her remote cottage in the Highlands to lick her wounds. Billionaire currency trader Jack Maclean has nothing but contempt for the woman who stole not only his sister’s fiancé but quite possibly a family heirloom to boot. Nonetheless, he wants answers and he intends to get them. A quick trip north should do the trick. Never in a million years could he have predicted a kamikaze sheep and inclement weather would leave him stranded. Jack might be gorgeous but Stella isn’t in the market for a man, especially one who hates her. No matter how attractive he finds her Stella is the very last person Jack should want. The trouble is, they’re all alone and the chemistry is irresistible, and, well, what happens in Scotland stays in Scotland, right?

Book Description
What happens in Aspen is definitely not staying in Aspen . . . A girls' trip to Aspen was exactly what Shay needed to forget about her toxic ex-boyfriend. She's got her girls, pristine slopes for skiing, and hot guys everywhere. Of course, her epic self-rediscovery goes completely to hell when a wild (and deliciously hot) skier knocks Shay on her ass . . . and war is declared. Kolton doesn't know what it is about Shay that makes him lose it. Not just his cool---although she does have an unholy gift for that---but his restraint. When anger gives way to explosive chemistry, they're both shaken with the intensity of it. But somewhere between lust and hate, Kolton and Shay realize they could have something real. . . if they don't kill each other first.
