Nordameris by H. M. Tavares
Nordameris: An Astrological Novel follows fifteen pivotal days in Renato’s life. The futuristic story blends mystery, romance, and comedy as Renato navigates challenges of balance between passivity and aggression, the personal and the political, love and hate, healing and death, and the human and the machine.
While reading about an assassination attempt on the founder of the Pristine Cult inside a combibus, Renato faints, triggering memories of childhood bullying at an orphanage in Transluz. Now in Nordameris, they participate in a research experiment to address painful memories and find self-acceptance, doubting its efficacy. The influence of Pluto on their natal Venus in Gemini becomes apparent when a mysterious stranger from Transluz enters their life, leading Renato to realize the interconnectedness of their past, present, and future.
It’s Indigenous Peoples Day and Indigenous History Month in Canada, and to mark this occasion we are showcasing a selection of books by our Tellwell authors that pay tribute to the narratives, customs, and insights of Indigenous peoples who have profoundly influenced our world.
Understanding Life by Wendy Hill
Wendy Hill’s profound book delves into life, death, and the spaces in between, drawing from her upbringing in a Native community and spiritual experiences that shaped her journey into healing. Wendy also recounts prophecies from various Native sources that came to her through dreams. Overall, the book intimately addresses universal existential questions, shedding light and providing profound insights into life’s mysteries.
Wendy Hill, a Native woman from the Cayuga Nation among the Six Nations/Longhouse people, began her spiritual journey in childhood through dreams and traditional ceremonies. A near-death experience at twenty revealed her healing abilities, which she now shares as a healer and peace-builder across Native communities in North America. Wendy’s work includes hands-on healing for physical ailments and emotional, mental, and spiritual support. She continues to travel extensively, promoting community wellness, awareness of environmental changes, and sharing spiritual guidance and healing wherever she goes.

June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, an opportunity to learn about the unique cultures, traditions, and experiences of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. It’s a time to honour the stories, achievements, and resilience of those who have lived on this land since time immemorial and whose presence continues to impact an evolving Canada. During National Indigenous History Month, we shine a spotlight on the incredible authors who have skillfully crafted literary masterpieces, weaving together narratives that have brought forth Indigenous voices and heritage, bridging the gap between past and present.

Elaine has spent over 20 years in over 100 communities across Canada to promote healing and wellness.

Discover your purpose and find fulfillment with Azim Jamal’s latest book, Spark
Learn from the CEO of Corporate Sufi Worldwide and unlock your full potential
A dedicated person is guided by self-awareness and purpose, while a workaholic is guided by the frenzy of activity for the sake of activity.
– Azim Jamal
Azim Jamal is a well-known figure in the world of personal and professional development, inspiring and empowering individuals across the globe to achieve their full potential. As the CEO and founder of Corporate Sufi Worldwide, he has helped countless people to find balance, purpose, and fulfillment in their personal and professional lives.

In his latest book, Spark, he sets out to help young professionals discover their true purpose and find meaning in their work, offering valuable insights and practical advice to guide them on their journey.
Spark is your tenth book. How does it stand apart from the corporate Sufi series?
This is a fable, thus different from most of my other books. The only other book written as a fable was What You Seek is Seeking You (WYSISY), co-authored with Brian Tracy. In WYSISY, the underlying emphasis was on attraction, whereas in SPARK the underlying emphasis is on significance and SPARK. SPARK is an acronym which encompasses S: service, P: purpose, A: attraction, R: resilience and K: knowing. None of the other nine books cover all of these five elements together in one book.
What sparked you to write this particular book?
I have been working with successful people for the past 25 years, and I have learned that they are successful outwardly; however, they still struggle to find purpose, fulfilment, inner happiness, and balance.
