Apple PodcastsAndroidRSSMeet Christopher Martin-Olsen: brilliant, ambitious, and not quite the villain you’d expect. When opportunity knocks-loudly-he seizes the chance to build something extraordinary: a network of discreet operations designed to help the ultra-wealthy and powerful dance between the raindrops of legality when doing what is still ethically acceptable.
But no good disruption goes unpunished. As governments grow more watchful and institutions more ruthless, Christopher must navigate a web of competing interests, shifting loyalties, and morally murky waters. A secretive cabal supports his vision-though their motives remain as layered as their influence. Consequently, when allies falter and enemies strike, survival demands more than ingenuity; it calls for boldness, sacrifice, and perhaps a few well-calculated risks.
This is no dry lecture on financial trickery or bureaucratic overreach. With wit, grit, and a fast-paced narrative, It Is Good to Be Bad explores the thin line between principle and pragmatism. Its characters are complex, flawed, and painfully human-each facing their own internal battles as they clash with external forces that are as real as they are relentless.
Is Christopher a mastermind or a pawn? A hero or a villain? That’s for the reader to decide. What’s certain is this: once you enter his world, nothing will seem quite as black and white again. Clever, suspenseful, and unsettlingly plausible, this novel is for anyone who enjoys being challenged as much as entertained. Because sometimes, in a world stacked against you, it’s not about being good-it’s about being good at being bad. Get your copy of It Is Good to be Bad: Chronicles of the Guild by E.E.

What if Scripture could speak to us not just through its words, but through the hearts of the people who lived it? In The Word in Their Voices, poetry becomes a window into the living Word of God—seen through the eyes of Mary at the foot of the Cross, of Judas in his agony, of the Centurion, of Peter, Stephen, and the unnamed ones who walked beside Christ.

Apple PodcastsAndroidRSSThis collection invites readers to experience sacred Scripture as a living drama, unfolding in human voices that echo across centuries. Written by a Catholic pilgrim bearing the baptismal name Augustine, this book emerges from a life steeped in both healing and searching.
After decades dedicated to medicine, the author now turns to the deeper healing of the soul, offering meditations shaped by personal devotion, Church tradition, and love for the Word of God. Each poem is paired with reflection and scriptural insight—designed not to instruct from above but to walk beside, as a fellow traveler might. These are not just retellings of biblical stories; they are invitations to dwell in them, pray with them, and live them.

Across the world, every autumn, thousands of young people leave their homes to study at a university, and, then, to find work in a city. Most expect to avoid cruelly hard work, with the plough, the spade, or the loom, and to find congenial work, in the air-conditioned office, at meetings, or writing reports.

The reader follows the author’s walk every day while she is connecting deeper and deeper to Uluru. The understandings and the information that she received, changed her for Life. The walks were not only deep and insightful, but also playful and even spiced with humor.
The main insight that Uluru gave to the author is about the roles of man and woman. … which many indigenous cultures may know all too well, but a subject that has become a bit blurred in modern times.
This is an easy reading book. The author has passed on the insights in as undiluted a form as possible. The male and the female … we can find out about these everywhere in Nature …. Uluru .. this huge monolith … gives it out loud and clear.

The pandemic unleashed a strange half-world – not the comfortably familiar one we all knew and loved, but one in which we had to tread carefully and remain vigilant. Subsequently, it became a game of risk management that created tensions between the political desire to return to some form of normality and the need to protect lives. Inevitably, this conflict of interests led to confusion, confrontation and, sadly, deaths. Despite some catastrophic misjudgments at the governmental level, we ourselves must also shoulder some of the blame.

The book is the first in a trilogy that records the first hundred years of hotel-keeping in Fremantle from 1829 to 1929, which also means it is the first hundred years of hotel-keeping in Western Australia. However, it is not just the story of Fremantle’s hotels. The book also chronicles Fremantle’s history during that period of time.

Apple PodcastsAndroidRSSThere is no town in Western Australia that has a richer history and heritage than Fremantle. The town was established in 1829 when the first colonists first landed. At that time, the town was known as Swan River Colony.
The history of Fremantle cannot be told in isolation so any story about Fremantle is also a story about Western Australia.
If storekeeping was the first occupation in the new colony, then hotel keeping was the next. Within six months of the colony being founded Fremantle had four hotels.
The book traces the history of those early Fremantle hotels and how they, and the hotels that followed, shaped the culture and appearance of Fremantle today. To know the history of those hotels is to know the history of Fremantle.
