Years later, Luffy sets off in search of the One Piece, said to be the greatest treasure in the world...

He's the NHL's most guarded single dad.

She's the one woman who can't afford to fall for him.

Tori Wells didn't fight her way into the NHL just to become another cautionary tale. As a team physical therapist, she lives by strict rules: heal the players, protect her career, and never-ever-cross the line with a hockey player.

Then she's assigned to Zayden Bishop.

On the ice, he's untouchable-a French-Canadian superstar with a reputation for being cold, private, and impossible to read. Off the ice, he's a devoted single father running on discipline, stubbornness, and too little sleep. Until a serious shoulder injury threatens his season-and the stability he's built for his six-year-old daughter.

Tori is in charge of his rehab. Full oversight. Daily sessions.

No room for mistakes.

No room for attraction.

Except Zayden isn't what she expected.

The more time they spend together-early mornings, quiet road trips, late-night conversations-the harder it becomes to pretend this is just professional. Because Zayden doesn't just need his shoulder fixed. He needs someone who sees the man behind the jersey.

And Tori is dangerously close to becoming that someone.

Crossing the line could cost her everything she's worked for. And Zayden can't risk bringing anyone into his daughter's life unless he's certain they'll stay.

Originally published after Dom Prosper Guéranger completed his three-volume Liturgical Institutions (1840-1851) yet prior to his final (ninth) volume of The Liturgical Year (1841-1875), Abbé Henri Dutilliet's Little Liturgical Catechism (1860) bridges his master's two monumental achievements in a comprehensive distillation of the Roman liturgy and the Church's annual cycle of worship.

Despite his encyclopedic effort, however, his book fell out of print within two decades; that is, until the famous decadent-novelist-turned-Benedictine-oblate Joris-Karl Huysmans discovered this pamphlet in a bookshop in the early 1890s and saw it back into print in 1896 as a remedy for the universal "ignorance of the Sacred Liturgy" he had observed among the faithful of his diocese. Nor has the need for education ceased 130 years later, when the traditional rite so beautifully expounded in this catechism has returned to more and more churches. It is thus fitting to bring Dutilliet's marvelous catechism to light for our times, even as Huysmans did for his.

Expanded with notes that explain unfamiliar terms or point out differences between the Tridentine rite about which this catechism speaks and the twentieth-century modified versions of it, this first-ever English translation of Dutilliet's text intends to offer the faithful "the enduring enchantment of the admirable year of the Church" and the understanding that "all in her worship is full of meaning; nothing is left to hazard; no detail, however minute, is without purpose." Reading this catechism is not only a painless way to acquire much learning in a short time, but a haunting reminder of just how much has been lost in the postconciliar Church-and how much we stand to gain by its restoration.

I'm going to spend 2026 in 1982; come join me.

The Odyssey of a Bad Mother takes place in 1982 in Bellevue, Washington, right outside of Seattle.

Come reminisce about the time of Pop Rocks, Tab, Hall & Oates, Heather Locklear, E.T., Reaganomics, and the changing of the family dynamic.

Set against the backdrop of Bill Gates's rise and MS-DOS and the European expansion of Microsoft, finally to their home in Redmond. The Odyssey of a Bad Mother takes a look at three flawed women in the affluent Parkside community who are all deemed bad mothers.

They come together in a desperate quest to find answers to the kidnapping of one of their sons, a local boy, Ryan McKinnon. With no clues, no answers, and little hope, these three bad mothers forge the path to finding what happened to him.

During a time when the police were on overload, a time in American history when children's kidnappings were becoming prominent in the United States, and with respect to the milk carton campaign, The Odyssey of a Bad Mother takes a hard look at the police and their fight to bring Ryan McKinnon home.

What happened to Ryan McKinnon that night at the movies when he went missing?

With Ryan as the narrator of the terrifying tale, his story sheds light on compassion, empathy, and psychological insight on what it means to struggle, self-preserve, fall apart, and pick yourself up again for the greater good!

Welcome to The Villain's Club!

Here, chaos is mandatory, caffeine is non-negotiable, and every meeting starts with a complaint about heroes who get in their way.

Inside this delightfully devious anthology, villains finally get their own POV. That means no oversight, no interruptions, just pure, unfiltered rebellion.

On the surface, these villains may seem like ordinary scoundrels, delinquents, bandits, and baddies. Scratch the surface (preferably with a dagger-shaped, impeccably manicured pinky nail), and you'll find all the complexities, contradictions, impossible choices, and longing for connection that make even villains human. You'll get to know misunderstood monsters, overworked overlords, demons with major Inhuman Resources issues, and even a few villains who might actually be heroes (but we didn't have the heart to tell them).

There are no tidy lessons or shiny trophies here. Sometimes we're the hero, sometimes the villain.

And sometimes, it just feels good to be bad.

So grab a chair, pour something bubbly, and settle in.

Tommy Short never missed a call. But he almost missed himself.

In 2023, Tommy Short, keynote speaker and author, gave up his phone for a year.

He discovered that he wasn't just addicted to the device; he was addicted to the identity it allowed him to curate. To being in control. To the dopamine drips of notifications and likes.

To the illusion that he was important.

Tommy thought losing his phone would be the hard part.

He was wrong.

Told through a series of intimate letters to his two young daughters, The Call I Almost Missed is part memoir, part manifesto. In this deeply personal exploration of identity, fatherhood, marriage, faith, and the sacredness of slowing down, Tommy invites you into the year that remade him.

Poetic, piercing, and profoundly human, The Call I Almost Missed isn't about giving up your phone. It's about reclaiming your soul.

The Tunnel of Hope is a reflective, embodied narrative about what happens when life collapses - and continues anyway.

Written in the aftermath of a life-altering diagnosis, the book traces a deeply human journey through illness, burnout, identity loss, and unexpected renewal. Drawing on lived experiences from hospitals, therapy rooms, basketball courts, classrooms, and moments of stillness, Florent Coudyser explores what it means to live when certainty disappears and the body becomes unfamiliar territory.

This is not a book about fighting or conquering. It is about listening. Adapting. And discovering a quieter, more truthful form of hope - one that does not promise outcomes, but allows movement where everything once felt stuck.

Blending personal storytelling with philosophical reflection, somatic insight, and gentle humour, The Tunnel of Hope speaks to readers navigating transition, grief, exhaustion, or profound change. It offers no formulas, no answers to memorise - only companionship. A bench inside the tunnel where the reader is invited to pause, breathe, and continue in their own way.

How to survive ambiguous loss, by a mom who lost her son to psychosis and then to suicide.

What mom expects her honor-student son to one day barricade a bathroom in their home to lock away "demons?" Who can imagine a beloved child behind jail Plexiglas, his eyes vacant? How does a mom sleep knowing her son is homeless, sleeping rough in a city park, his life tattered by his disordered mind? In Gone Before Gone, Clark describes her son's "death by degrees" during a young adulthood wrecked by severe mental illness.

Surviving a parent's nightmare led to Clark's memoir of self-help-a toolkit for living with "ambiguous loss," a term coined by Pauline Boss, PhD, an academic, author, and long-time family therapist. Trained by Boss herself, Clark has blended Boss' concepts with her own experiences and the coping skills she's cultivated as a long-time yoga teacher.

The result is a book like none other. Part memoir, part survival guide, complete with practical exercises. You'll feel as though a kind mom is holding your hand and helping you breathe as you bravely take one step at a time toward healing yourself.
