Alvin Toffler coined the phrase "electronic cottage" in the 80's. Futurist Frank Ogden carried the concept further. From his high-tech houseboat in Vancouver harbour, he is wired to the world by computer, phone, cable and phone modems, satellite, infra-red transmissions and CD-ROMs. The Financial Post describes Frank as a "20th Century visionary" and calls his ideas "outrageous", an ideal combination of qualities for a life of profitable nonconformity. From Papua New Guinea to the high-tech jungles of silicon, satellites and photons, Frank has a reputation for innovation and originality. In 1979, he began monitoring 200 satellites and 2,000 data banks, to provide a video clipping service for forward thinkers wanting information on new and relevant business developments. Now Ogden circles the globe as consultant to companies and countries, preparing people to trek along the fast track. "A bulldozer of change is charging over the planet," he says. "And if you're not part of the bulldozer, you'll become part of the road." Born in 1920, Ogden was educated in Canada and the United States and served as a flight engineer during World War II. Unflaggingly energetic and curious, he graduated to a dizzying array of jobs flying airplanes and helicopters and selling aircraft (He is currently checked out as Pilot-In-Command in 55 different flying machines), real estate and housewares. During the 1960s, he joined a medical team researching LSD at Hollywood Hospital, and he crossed Canada by helicopter to celebrate the country's centennial. He also helped found Canada's first think-tank, taught at the Ontario College of Art and the New England School of Art in Boston, and managed a Montreal radio station, leading it boldly into progressive rock. He was also a founding member of the World Future Society in Canada.While studying voodoo in Haiti and establishing a think-tank for the Prime Minister of the Bahamas, Ogden recognized the link that exists between primitive thinking and high tech. "Everything in life is information. So-called primitive cultures have known this for thousands of years," he explains. "Voodoo priests get their information through a hierarchy of gods; we get ours through a hierarchy of technology." Such concepts as these have made Frank a celebrity speaker on the conference circuit, where he outlines the electronic and information revolutions of the current and coming decades. Frank suggests a future of teleports, limited labour unions, as more people become self-employed, and body implants to make cyborgs of us all. Audiences praise him because "he shakes people up and gets us thinking about the future!" In 1989, Frank was elected a Fellow of the Explorers Club; an elite group of adventurers including mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary and astronaut John Glenn. Frank travels continuously -- to present seminars and to research the latest in technological, educational, business, communications, political, social and environmental developments. He is at home on the untamed equatorial plains of East Africa and in the high-tech toy stores of Tokyo. From his Vancouver houseboat, Frank conducted the first two international seminars via satellite and fibre-optic technology, for Australia's Telstra Communications Network in Sydney and Melbourne. His recent CD-ROM, Dr. Tomorrow's Cyberspace University, has received top ratings in the United States. Long before the World Wide Web became popular, Ogden opened a "page" there for global access. His cyberspace address is: www.drtomorrow.com. Frank has been profiled on numerous television and radio stations and in newspapers and magazines around the globe, including, CNN's Futurewatch; PBS Television's New Tech Times in the U.S.A.; CBC's National TV show Profiles, with host Peter Gzowski; the Christian Science Monitor TV show World Monitor; Australia's TV 7 show Eleven AM; and CTV's Canada AM. As well, interview articles have appeared in Forbes ASAP, Leaders; Cryptych; Maclean's; Easy Livin

There is a French proverb which goes something like this: "In love, there is always the one who kisses and the one who offers the cheek." Author Barry Rothman admits that he has always been the one who kisses, and in his memoir, Mary Ann or Ginger, Rothman recounts his romantic relationships. Actively dating since 1960, Rothman has traveled the world searching for his soulmate and thought he had found her in a variety of different locales. He discovered that, from an early age, his choices in female companionship have been largely influenced by his interest in pop culture. Beginning with his first girlfriend, at the tender age of six years old, Rothman reveals details about the variety of women in his life, including those he should have married and those he was thankful not to have married. From his first sexual encounter to his first romance with a ballet dancer and his last liaison with a ballet dancer, he tells all. Though many of the stories in Mary Ann or Ginger expose the humorous side of relationships, this memoir includes serious conclusions helpful to those seeking to begin or maintain romantic connections. - www.maryannorginger.com

The only son of Lew and Esther Smith - a successful and renowned interior design visionary and a high society figurine - Philip Smith was no stranger to the culture of American art and lifestyle. However, as the climate of his native Miami took sharp political turns, a la Castro-ism and the Cuban Missile Crisis, his family life took sharper ones. Somewhere in between design consultations with Walt Disney and cocktails with the Nixons, Smith's father began to recognize powerful psychic healing abilities within himself. Interior design went from his profession to his marginal duty; something he did when he wasn't busy using his deep healing energy to remove tumors and perform exorcisms…and in true Lew Smith fashion, he led his category. Smith describes his father's newfound prominence in the psychic realm: "All of a sudden he was on the A-list party circuit for the deceased." So is the story of Walking Through Walls (Atria/Simon & Schuster), a collection of precise and poignant recollections from Smith's fascinating upbringing. For Smith, teenage angst took on new meaning, as his actions were frequently criticized by his father's "spirit guides" - a network of diseased scholars and healers he regarded as friends and teachers. Having your mind read by your father on a daily basis certainly took the fun out of surfing, sex and Scientology. Walking Through Walls is currently available at www.amazon.com, and will be released in paperback version in November 2009. To learn more about Walking Through Walls and Philip Smith visit www.walkingthroughwallsthebook.com.

As children, sisters Tina Fiorda and Tilde Cameron have had many experiences of the other realm that have confused them at times but sparked their interest in the spiritual realm. It was their insatiable curiosity in this area that first caused them to begin experimenting with a Ouija board in their early teenage years. For years they played with the Ouija board, asking it questions that centered around love interests and future predictions; never taking it very seriously, until one day they were introduced to three entities who were not of this world. From that day forward, the messages they received were of a completely different nature. The Ouija board was no longer a parlor game. It was now a tool used to receive wisdom and knowledge from a realm of existence that was beyond anything they had ever experienced. Tina and Tilde have become students of this material as they venture forth in the next phase of their spiritual development. Tina Fiorda comes from a background of Fashion and Costume Design. Tina has owned and operated her own Fashion Design. Eventually, Tina moved into film, where she now works as a Costume Designer. Tilde Cameron has spent her career first in Vancouver's music industry and then moving into the gaming industry. Once the authors started working on "A Book of Insight" Tilde left the gaming industry to focus on their joint project. Today, both sisters have dedicated their time to promoting their very unique book and furthering their spiritual development. - www.abookofinsight.com
