On the Rails
Set against the harsh backdrop of the Great Depression, On the Rails traces the journey of Michael Shymchuk (later Shutt), a boy from the Canadian prairies who escapes a bitter family life and a failing farm to ride the train rails, crossing the country and the paths of a memorable cast of characters. Fleeing poverty and abandoning perhaps the love of his life, Michael enlists in the legendary Royal Canadian Mounted Police, where he comes face to face with bootleggers, bandits, whores, murderers, and, ultimately, all the evil men do. Finally, in the unforgiving Canadian Arctic, among the Inuit, the missionaries, and the mercenaries, Michael's body and spirit are severely tested as he deals with the brutal environment, another mans insanity, and the haunting discovery of a nineteenth-century English expedition. Death comes close, and he faces an intense day of reckoning with all that he believes. Tracing one young mans journey into manhood and self-knowledge, On the Rails is an adventure, a bittersweet love story, and an epic tale of sin, redemption, and the agonizing choices that confront us all.

Ordinary Housewife Extra Ordinary God
A mother of 10 and a grandmother of 25 who has gone through some spiritual valleys, learning to lean on God and seeing Him perform miracles in the family. Starting out as an emigrant from the Netherlands, the journey in Canada has gone through twists and turns to find the straight and narrow path. The miracles of Jesus in this family are the highlights of the stories of this writing. Coming through a cultic experience, facing death and the Barrie tornado, the words of a song: ‘Through it all, I’ve learned to depend upon His Word’, are the mainstay.
