Shortly after his father’s death, Terence began writing a weekly blog about his life adventures as a memoir for his children. What begins as a journey of grief evolves into a series of evocative, candid and often humorous adventures about his life as a child in rural Australia to his current cosmopolitan life in Canada. This emotional and powerful series of short stories begin with his father’s diagnosis of terminal brain cancer and his stark realization that he knows so very little about his father and the harsh reality that he only has a short time to get to know him. The similarities between his relationship with his children and the one he had with his father mirror each other, especially given his high demands as a senior executive that take him away from his family on a regular basis. His decision to change the nature of his relationship with his children beginning with his weekly story allows him to gain perspective in his life, which undoubtedly leads to wholesale change. His now celebrated blog is read by more than 30,000 people from around the world and is regarded, as a weekly “must read”.

"Two roads diverged in the woods, and I...I took the one less traveled, and that has made all the difference. "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost We've all experienced coming to a fork in the road...that decision-making moment where whichever choice we make will change the direction of our lives forever. Norm Ferguson found himself at a fork such as this while sitting in a dentist's chair in West Palm Beach, Florida, when he was forty-three years old. He took the road less traveled, and his life was forever changed. Life's Indelible Moments by Norman Ferguson is a look at a life well-lived, full of adventure, travel, and overcoming challenges. Covering the author's story from childhood to the present day, the book offers a first-person perspective of historic times like the Great Depression and World War II, showing what it was like to experience those events from someone who was actually there. Through every turn, Norm's story shows that God was there, guiding and providing for him, even when it did not feel like it. Hounded by his five children and friends for years to document his compelling journey, he includes excerpts from his varied occupations, hobbies, ministries, and ventures, which have taken him to nineteen different geographical locations in the U.S. as well as two dozen countries with his Spanish-teaching wife. If you are looking for a fascinating read that you won't want to put down, this book is for you. Come along on the journey and enjoy Life's Indelible Moments.

An Indie Next Pick A masterful, "seductive" debut novel about fate, family secrets, and the stories our bodies tell (NYTBR). Magdalena has an unsettling gift. She sees the truth about people written on their skin--names, dates, details both banal and profound--and her only relief from the onslaught of information is to take off her glasses and let the world recede. Mercifully, her own skin is blank. When she meets Neil, she is intrigued to see her name on his cheek, and she is drawn into a family drama that began more than half a century before, when Neil's father, Richard, was abandoned at birth by his mother, a famous expatriate novelist. As secrets are revealed among forgotten texts in the archives of Paris, on a dusty cattle ranch in the American West, along ancient pilgrim paths, and in a run-down apartment in post-Soviet Lithuania, the novel's unforgettable characters converge--by chance, or perhaps by fate--and Magdalena's uncanny ability may be the key to their happiness.

A novelist and a neuroscientist uncover the secrets of human memory. What makes us remember? Why do we forget? And what, exactly, is a memory? With playfulness and intelligence, Adventures in Memory answers these questions and more, offering an illuminating look at one of our most fascinating faculties. The authors—two Norwegian sisters, one a neuropsychologist and the other an acclaimed writer—skillfully interweave history, research, and exceptional personal stories, taking readers on a captivating exploration of the evolving understanding of the science of memory from the Renaissance discovery of the hippocampus—named after the seahorse it resembles—up to the present day. Mixing metaphor with meta-analysis, they embark on an incredible journey: “diving for seahorses” for a memory experiment in Oslo fjord, racing taxis through London, and “time-traveling” to the future to reveal thought-provoking insights into remembering and forgetting. Along the way they interview experts of all stripes, from the world’s top neuroscientists to famous novelists, to help explain how memory works, why it sometimes fails, and what we can do to improve it. Filled with cutting-edge research and nimble storytelling, the result is a charming—and memorable—adventure through human memory.
