 | Television Documentary How the most readable, complete and thorough review ever done of the Koran by a layperson (a Canadian of all people) in the history of Islam came about. |
 Image credit: 123RF Stock Photo | The dialogue is made up, but the revelations are real, as are the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad. The character of Alice only bears a remote resemblance to the heroine of Lewis Carroll's tale of a young girl "who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures." Alice visits a Mosque to learn about Judgement Day is a short, often brutal play/script (it could not be otherwise) about an important concept in Islam on which the Koran expounds at length. Alice visits a Mosque ... is not meant to offend but to enlighten. It is both a play and an invitation to learn more about the Koran and God's Messenger. We hope you will read it (or see it if it ever makes it to the stage or the screen) in the spirit it was written. |
 | Imagine a world where Canada is just a memory. What has happened since Canada disappeared from history, and what do former Canadians have to say about the country that is no more. In five interviews with unique and engaging characters from varied backgrounds, the events, the decisions that led to the break-up of Canada—that caused what appeared to be a stable, representative parliamentary democracy to just collapse almost from one day to the next—are dramatically explored. The Interviews are not only meant to inform but also to teach a little bit of Canadian history to entertain by bringing to life an imaginary, near-future where Canada is no more. |

 | The author was with the Department of Foreign Affairs for five years. Shooting the Messenger is based on his experience with the Department. Shooting the Messenger is an eye witness account of a multi-million dollar fraud (probably the longest sustained fraud on the public purse in Canadian history) and other breaches of the Public Trust at the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs. Shooting the Messenger is not only about the people who committed these deliberate transgressions but also about the people whose job it was to hold them responsible for what they had done – including a former Prime Minister and a Supreme Court judge – but chose not to, with predictable consequences for the author. |

 | REMEMBERING UZZA A Black Comedy in Three Acts The sequel to The Interviews Remembering Uzzah is meant to make learning about the Koran and the Prophet Muhammad a painless and mostly pleasant experience while not sugar-coating or leaving out the naughty and nasty bits, as does Little Mosque on the Prairie. And, is there a better place to learn about Islam then in the relaxed atmosphere of a favourite pub in the company of friends and a beautiful, bright, doomed young woman to give you an insider's perspective? In Uzza, I have also tried to imagine Mary’s reaction to the re-birth of the mythical, medieval man’s world of Islam in parts of her adopted, now Fractured Nation . |
