SECRET IN NEW YORK CITY
Book 2 of The Jayme Adventure Series
One broken heart. One giant city. One secret hidden in the heart of Central Park.
After a tough first year of college and the heartbreak of losing her summer crush, Jayme Goodall is stuck. Her solution? A spontaneous trip to the Big Apple. It’ll be the perfect distraction from her woes—or so she thinks. Armed with a “must-see” list of famous sites and a craving for bagels, she plans to play tourist for a week and forget her troubles.
But the city that never sleeps has other plans.
A chance encounter shortly upon her arrival thrusts Jayme into a hidden world of competing factions, each with their own vision of the past—and the future—of Central Park. As century-old secrets rise to the surface, Jayme must decide whom to trust, what to believe, and whether she’s ready to take on more than just her own heartbreak.
Caught in the middle of a decades-long battle, Jayme’s simple attempt to lift her spirits turns into a far bigger adventure than she ever could have imagined, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

BUOYANT PASSAGES
The Story of My Family, My Life as an Identical Twin, ​and My Escapes into the Canadian Wilderness

​What started as a short account of author Daniel J. Demers’ ancestors, including their arrival in Canada and the many challenges they faced while striving to establish a life here, soon morphed into a memoir of the author’s own life as well.

While the book still begins by recounting his family’s history before and after their arrival in Canada, the bulk of it focuses on Daniel’s own life experiences, particularly his unique role as an identical twin and the many adventures he’s had while exploring Canada’s natural wonders. As a result, this memoir winds up being a celebration not only of his family’s history but also of the limitless options for escape, adventure, and discovery that Canada has to offer.

REVIEWS


"I enjoyed this memoir that is of real people and real lives.

"I'm giving it a 4.5 stars. This is a memoir/reflection on life as well as the author's and his wife's family history.
I enjoyed how the author related his family's history to the life he chose for himself and how is life choices 
are rooted in that history. There are many mentions of music throughout the book, which I particularly enjoyed
because of my own love of music. It'd be nice if the author added playlists to a future edition. 
All in all, it's a feel-good read that serves to remind you that we should cherish the blessings life has bestowed on us.
