Elaine Alec
Calling My Spirit Back

Elaine Alec is making headlines for her newly released book Calling My Spirit Back. She’s been featured on the CBC, First Nations Forward, the National Observer, Living Fiercely and Sober is Dope! Podcasts. 

It’s a journey of understanding and embracing your story and sharing it with others. We can’t expect others to share their stories, their hearts, their thoughts, and their truths if we are not willing to do the same.

Elaine Alec, author of Calling My Spirit Back

Shreya Gupta
Flamingo Feet

The 10-year-old Ontario author is donating royalties from her book sales to helping educate young girls in India. Shreya Gupta’s local newspaper The Cambridge Times features the young writer talking about her book, Flamingo Feet, and cause. Way to go Shreya!

I wanted to make a book about her gaining confidence. I know a lot of people who get bullied. People make fun of what they like to do and stuff. It’s not very nice. I think you should always do what you want and what inspires you.

Shreya Gupta, author of Flamingo Feet

Paul Khan
Smoking is NOT Glamorous: How I’ve remained Smoke Free for 4 Decades

Ontario author Paul Khan promotes his book, Smoking is NOT Glamorous, on News Talk 1010 on IHeartRadio. He shares his journey to going from smoking two packs of cigarettes a day to kicking the habit altogether. His book offers tips and advice to others looking to do the same. 

My dream is to have you share in my miracle to live free from toxic smoke. When I kicked the habit, my taste buds became amazing. My breathing felt clear as sunlight and my energy level reached an all-time high.
