The Call

Young baseball players dream of one thing: to get the call up to the Majors. When, as a fan, five year old Hunter Austin experiences his first professional baseball game, he proclaims to the folks in the bleachers that, one day, he'll get The Call, play baseball on TV and have his face on baseball cards. While the laughter of the crowd doesn't faze him, it's hard to keep his faith when he hears his father say, "You're too small, too weak, and not good enough." The Call explores the challenges of an overlooked and unappreciated second son as he keeps working toward his goal despite ongoing adversity, criticism and rejection. With the faith and support of a loving woman, Hunter finds the determination to practice with purpose and play with passion-and keep the dreams of his youth alive. This emotionally poignant novel illustrates what one can achieve when they live a purpose driven life. The Call is an imaginative coming-of-age story that shares the field with historical figures from the game of baseball. It is a mixture of imagination and fact through the use of historical fiction which transports readers to another time and place, either real or imagined.

"I've done complicated. It's complicated."Residential and commercial buildings account for 17% of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions (Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Canada's Built Environment; Senate of Canada 2018). In the United States, that figure is roughly 29% (C2ES; Decarbonizing US Buildings by J. Leung 2018). Net Zero homes, which produce at least as much energy as they consume, will play a key role in the current global climate crisis by drastically reducing energy consumption in the housing sector.Doug Tarry is a leading international authority on Net Zero homes. His company, Doug Tarry Homes Limited, has certified more Net Zero / Net Zero Ready homes (over 400 and counting) than any other builder in Canada. The title of Doug's book, "From Bleeding Edge to Leading Edge: A Builders Guide to Net Zero Homes", refers to his complicated and sometimes painful journey to Net Zero. Throughout the book, Doug offers his first-hand experience on what has worked and what hasn't in building Net Zero homes, along with expert advice from some of the industry's leading builders, building scientists and energy consultants. Much has been written about the technical details of building high-performance homes - the "what". This book goes further and deals with the "why" and the "how", discussing topics such as holistic design, embodied carbon, the Four Principals of Modern Design, the 100-year home, and climate resiliency. Written in plain language and infused with humor and storytelling, this book is a must-read for builders, renovators, architects, municipal officials, industry stakeholders and home buyers - anyone interested in the future of home building. It will help builders and their teams get to Net Zero in less time, with far less cost and pain.

Nearing the end of the Human Genome Project, its leaders confirmed that humanity was in a steady decline, due to the fall in quality and quantity of the male sperm.They determined what would be the genome of the man to become the next Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA), of the human race by the male line. They named this genome Adonis. The female line, originating in Mitochondria Eve, was undamaged as it had only strengthened, as it protected its young from male domination and abuse. They realized that Adonis would need three goddesses to make a family with him, and their children will be leaders in the next generation. He will also impregnate one hundred scientifically selected girls each year to spread Adonis's superior genome and ethics around the globe.Being scientists, they knew that such a man must arise to balance Sir Isaac Newton's Third Law of Motion; in that Every Action creates an equal and opposite reaction. They also knew that psychics and mystics had long declared Universe would not let the likes of the twentieth-century warmongers: Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Pol Pot, and others, continue unchallenged.As we know, the twentieth-century warmongers were put down by superior forces and at great cost, in Book 1 of the saga, Adonis awakens as a man of superior intelligence and ethics and knows that warfare is obsolete; if life on earth is to continue. Furthermore, he declares that we should all be living in the long-promised utopia and sets out on a one-man war to bring this about: without bloodshed, political parties, churches, sects, or even followers on social media. The saga progresses now in twelve volumes, each approximately 600 pages, and 200,000 words. Book 1 was published on 26 December 2018 and the remaining books will be published at two monthly intervals throughout 2019 and 2020. The series is published by Amazon with a Kindle version available for reading on any electronic device, and a soft-cover edition available for readers who like to hold their book in their hands.About the AuthorIt is not uncommon to hear the elderly complain about being old. For the authors of this saga, we find it a distinct advantage to be octogenarians. It has given us a world view that can only be had by Living It, a far different perspective than having Learned It.We were born into the early years of the so-called Great Depression and listened to the radio to hear the declaration of The Second World War. Thereafter, we lived through minor wars and rumours of war until the nineteen-seventies. We witnessed disasters in our home-state and around the world, some natural, like floods, and fire, and others as a result of human greed and corruption: like, stock market crashes, inflation and health disasters like the Polio Epidemic of 1937, the Thalidomide Tragedy of 1960, and Tuberculosis: endemic in Australia since 1850 and on the rise again today.But today, everyone has joined us to witnesses history being made in the Financial Services Royal Commission. We ask our readers to remember this low point in the mismanagement of some of our greatest institutions.In publishing, it is not uncommon to have husband and wife as joint authors. Perhaps, in this case, it is a little unusual, as my wife of sixty-three years passed away on the fourteenth of May 2018. If you ask me whether Betty still participates in this work, I can answer YES Not only through the history, we shared, but through the communications, we have shared since the day she passed from this life.
