Book excerpt: Sheila Burnford, the author of The Incredible Journey, offers the spellbinding tale of a small dog caught up in the Second World War, and of the extraordinary life-transforming attachments he forms with the people he encounters in the course of a perilous passage from occupied France to besieged England.Nameless, Burnford’s hero first turns up as a performing dog, a poodle mix earning his keep as part of a gypsy caravan that is desperately fleeing the Nazi advance. Taken on ship by the Royal Navy, he is given the name of Ria and serves as the scruffy mascot to a boatload of sailors. Marooned in England in the midst of the Blitz, Ria rescues an old woman from the rubble of her bombed house, and finds himself unexpectedly transformed into Bel, the coiffed and pampered companion of her old age.Bel Ria is an exciting story about a compellingly real, completely believable dog. Readers of all sorts and ages will find in Bel Ria a companion to take to heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic Canadian story of the bravery and ingenuity of three animals who find their way home. First published in 1961, The Incredible Journey tells the story of three pets: a young Labrador retriever, an old bull terrier, and a Siamese cat. While their owners are away in England, they are being cared for by a family friend at his home in the country. But a miscommunication occurs between the friend and his housekeeper when he goes on a hunting trip, and the animals are left alone for a several hours, with a gnawing instinct that something has gone wrong. They soon set off on a journey to find home, which instinct tells them is to the west. They travel 400 kilometres across the Northern Ontario wilderness, facing many obstacles along the way: swift-flowing rivers and the rugged landscape; wild animals and unsympathetic humans; starvation, injuries and sheer exhaustion. Separately they would not have survived, but together this disparate group prevails, and they find their way home to the family they love.

Book excerpt: Thirty-eight-year-old Marcia Evans has spent her adult life as a struggling actress, unable to penetrate that barrier which prevents her from having the "big break" all aspiring actors and actresses hope to achieve which will move her career to the next level. She works part-time at a day job and does small acting gigs on the side. She is tired of her lifestyle and of life in the big city. Marcia eventually discovers a charming house set in the woods while traveling to an acting job at a theater outside of the city. She learns that the original owners, who were killed in a car accident twenty years after the house was built, were retirees who enjoyed aiding transients and runaways. The house passed on to the niece of the wife, who died only five years after moving into the house at a very young age. Using part of her grandmother's inheritance, Marcia purchases the house from the son of the deceased owner for a suspiciously low price. She moves into the house and rents a room out to Stephen Gomaz, a co-worker at her job and with whom she falls in love. But chronic illness, terrifying nightmares, and strange paranormal activity cause Marcia to question the true character of the original owners and the events that may have happened in the house. With the aid of a deputy sheriff and a psychic, the horrifying truth of the house is revealed.
