Messenger of Death
Inspired by gang wars in Quebec Canada in the late 1990s, Messenger of Death takes the reader into the frightening and fascinating world of bikers’ turf wars. The streets of a peaceful city turn into scenes of Hollywood-style assassinations, explosions, and motorcades to killed gangsters’ funerals. The drama unfolding in the novel conveys the tragedy of love and death of those who live in the underworld, as well as innocent people, who happen to cross their way. Messenger of Death presents a gruesome commentary on the state of North American modern society where hard drugs became a lucrative market.
The Dark Days of Love
Romance and adventure novellas about contemporary North American upper middle class family, exposing highly intense drama behind a decent façade. Acting in exotic places of American wilderness, boardrooms of corporations or comfortable homes, dangerous locales of Jamaica and megalopolises of Canada and the US, the characters must deal with tough reality of competition, temptations and intense desires, often passing the threshold of morality and law. These are not purely romantic stories, although the intoxicating aura of romance permeates each novella. But love and happiness often go hand in hand with tragedy when the romance fizzles and the complex practical matters flood the souls and min...

Reconfiguring National, Institutional and Human Strategies for the 21st Century
This book addresses policies and strategies on internationalization across very different higher education systems globally, including inter alia from South America, Asia and Africa. The volume zooms in on the interplay between the national, institutional and “human” levels of internationalization. The latter is especially novel in that it pays particular attention to how internationalization shapes individuals – rather than only to the effects on student learning or research productivity. The work expounds on (a) the role of internationalization in fostering ethical forms of integration and preparing citizens to engage in dialogue across those differences, (b) the possible trade-offs ...
Anna Razumovskaya, The Artist of Bliss
This non-fiction book is about the life and art of Anna Razumovskaya, a renowned Canadian impressionist. Her paintings are in private collections of the wealthy and famous, and on display in the most prestigious art galleries. Her portfolio of pre-orders stretches over the next few years. There is a notion that success in any endeavor is due to three proverbial essential components: the right person, at the right place, at the right time. Some would add to that good luck, which seems to be a reasonable argument. Times were when Anna Rasumovskaya had none of them. Other times she had them all. But through all of these ebbs and flows of fate, she carried on a few personality traits, without wh...
The Drama and Mockery of Fate
These stories were inspired by real-life events. Some of them are funny and hopefully will make the reader laugh; others are tragic, revealing the drama of loss, love, and shuttered dreams, so often tormenting our souls. And, of course, erotica and epicurean indulgence in sensual pleasures, which reward us occasionally for our deeds and misdeeds.
