Still – A Novel by Joanna Cocke...
By Canadian author Joanna Cockerline - a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Literary Awards prizewinner nominated for Canada's biggest literary award - Still is a novel of friendship, community, resiliency, and hope. Still is the story of Kayla, an 18 year-old who finds herself living and working on the streets of a Canadian city. There, she befriends a woman who is also a sex worker who goes missing. Still follows Kayla's search for her missing friend, but in her search, she also uncovers much about her traumatic past, the violence she is fleeing, and what she ultimately longs for. The novel explores what it means to survive, and what it means to find a home - especially within one's self.
"Evocative and unforgettable, Still holds a light up to the street life we so often neglect, showing us the people, their dreams, their challenges, and their humanity with compassion and hope. Yet it celebrates so much more, such as friendship and self-empowerment. The story is told with a vivid and poetic style that stays with you long after you put down the book." - Munira Hussein, Africa Writing Prize shortlisted author of A Curve of Darkness, Unfit for Society, and Highland Cactus, and co-author of the Kenyan and Canadian short story anthology Seeing Our Sisters, for which Joanna Cockerline is also a co-author

Liv meets a boy called Echo, who is searching for the truth about his mother's death, and despite Molly's concerns, Liv is drawn to him. Echo believes that if he can just speak to his mother's ghost, he will finally learn the truth about what happened to her and be able to move on with his life.
But he believes the way to reach her is through fear: to scare himself enough to lift the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead. Echo and Liv begin an increasingly dangerous game that tests their greatest fears: but how far is Echo willing to go to uncover the truth?

Camino Ghosts: A Novel May 28, 2024 b...
Mercer Mann, a popular writer from Camino Island, is back on the beach, marrying her boyfriend, Thomas, in a seaside ceremony. Bruce Cable, infamous owner of Bay Books, performs the wedding. Afterward, Bruce tells Mercer that he has stumbled upon an incredible story. Mercer desperately needs an idea for her next novel, and Bruce now has one.
The true story is about Dark Isle, a sliver of a barrier island not far off the North Florida coast. It was settled by freed slaves three hundred years ago, and their descendants lived there until 1955, when the last one was forced to leave. That last descendant is Lovely Jackson, elderly now, who loves her birthplace and its remarkable history. But now Tidal Breeze, a huge, ruthless corporate developer, wants to build a resort and casino on the island, which Lovely knows, deep down, is rightfully hers.
Mercer befriends Lovely, and they plunge into an enormous fight over who owns Dark Isle, taking on Tidal Breeze Corporation, its lawyers, lobbyists, and powerful Florida politicians. But Lovely knows something about the island that could seriously cloud the dollar signs in the developer’s eyes: the island is cursed. It has remained uninhabited for nearly a century for some very real and very troubling reasons. The deep secrets of the past are about to collide with the enormous ambitions of the present, and the fate of Dark Isle—and Camino Island, too—hangs in the balance.

Brilliant, but broken by Innocent Baluge
Six months ago, he vanished without a trace, a man whose life seemed a portrait of success. Now, he's a ghost haunting a hospital wing, his past a lie, his future a fading prognosis. The world knew him as a symbol of hope and prosperity. But his real story began far from the spotlights, in the war-torn villages of the Congo, where he was born in a bush, not a hospital.
Joseph’s journey from a child of war to an academic prodigy in Paris was a testament to his ambition. Yet, the city of light was also a city of shadows, where a supposed savior, a man once revered as Mokonzi, became a cautionary tale. He was the golden ticket out, but his "help" came with a price, and the price was his freedom. Now, as visitors from his past threaten to shatter his carefully constructed lies, he is forced to confront the truth of his present, a truth as unforgiving as the disease slowly taking his life.
This is the story of a man who fought his way out of the daily struggle of life and war, only to find himself trapped by the very ambitions that saved him. Will he find a way to make peace with his past, or will he die a brilliant but broken man, a secret buried with him forever?
