Jog's own poetry from Canada We knew Jog as irrepressible, unfailingly cheerful in spite of the difficulties he faced. His gift to mark his passing is a small collection of verses that bubble with his salty form of humour.
         
Samples from some of Myra's books. This web site began as a place to showcase Myra's books but over time things morphed beyond our wildest expectations. But we kept the books. Here are a few samples of stories never before published. If you read them, please let us know what you think.
