Maurice Yacowar challenges genre and form in Roy & Me, a cross between memoir and fiction, truth and distortion. It is the exploration of Yacowar's relationship with Roy Farran - soldier, politician, author, mentor - and his conflict with Farran's anti-Semitic past. Best known for his service with the Special Air Service during World War II, Roy Farran served as a politician in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta for Premier Peter Lougheed. During his time as a soldier, Farran allegedly kidnapped and murdered a sixteen-year-old member of the Lehi group. Roy & Me is a memoir that edges toward fiction by venturing into Farran's thoughts, based on his writings and Yacowar's imagination.

Our best-laid plans will yield to fate. And we will say, “We lived. We ate.” Roy Blount Jr. is one of America’s most cherished comic writers. He’s been compared to Mark Twain and James Thurber, and his books have been called everything from “a work of art” (Robert W. Creamer, The New York Times Book Review) to “a book to read till it falls apart” (Newsweek). Now, in Save Room for Pie, he applies his much-praised wit and charm to a rich and fundamental topic: food. As a lifelong eater, Blount always got along easy with food—he didn’t have to think, he just ate. But food doesn’t exist in a vacuum; there’s the global climate and the global economy to consider, not to mention Blount’s chronic sinusitis, which constricts his sense of smell, and consequently his taste buds. So while he’s always frowned on eating with an ulterior motive, times have changed. Save Room for Pie grapples with these and other food-related questions in Blount’s signature style. Here you’ll find lively meditations on everything from bacon froth to grapefruit, Kobe beef to biscuits. You’ll also find defenses of gizzards, mullet, okra, cane syrup, watermelon, and boiled peanuts; an imagined dialogue between Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden; input from Louis Armstrong, Frederick Douglass, and Blaze Starr; and of course some shampooed possums and carjacking turkeys. In poems and songs, limericks and fake (or sometimes true) news stories, Blount talks about food in surprising and innovative ways, with all the wit and verve that prompted Garrison Keillor, in The Paris Review, to say: “Blount is the best. He can be literate, uncouth, and soulful all in one sentence.”

Dr. Roy's Everything Grammar: Vol. I is a basic level grammar book, sectioned into the different parts of English grammar. Each section has a short teaching segment, followed by a writing segment, which includes a critical thinking/reasoning element. This reasoning can be spoken in class to reinforce the writing/memory. Grammar can be boring! This book was designed by an ESL (English as a second language) teacher in Korea to help his students. The author plans to finish the second volume of this series, focusing on phrases, clauses, and punctuation, in the near future. He is also planning a "Reading Faster" book for students. While redesigning an old grammar book, Dr. Paul R. Friesen made it into a 3-D experience. "The challenge was to create a book that achieved three goals. The first was to strengthen the weaknesses I found in Korean students' writing. The second was to provide teachers with a better system to teach grammar. The third was to create a system through which a student would gain confidence to speak." He says 3-D teaching is not a commonly taught methodology, but it has been tested, and its effectiveness has been proven. It is an easy way to teach and accelerates student learning.
