    Imagine being the girl, the one who is looked down upon as a monster.Everyones eyes are on you, watching. Waiting for you to slip up and prove them right. This is what Calypso Ellington lives through every day, just because on her birthday instead of rejoicing another year of age, she mourns her mother's death. In the eyes of the pack, she killed her mother in child birth. The Elders of the village place her in training to be a future protector, since a very young age. Their reasons for this unknown. But when Calypso finally feels she belongs somewhere and a small spark of love is ignited, people start to go missing. When war breaks out and alliances are tested, secrets held for decades come forth. Even one that changes Calypso's life entirely, and leaves her wondering where her trust lies. She has no choice but to rely on love more than ever. In the end though, who will triumph? And who will survive? A heart pounding story set in the sixteen hundreds, with a spike of a young romance. And the bone chilling ending, you will never see coming...

    The Tyris Keystone Council presides over the beating heart of trade in the Lyneth peninsula - the Grand Market. Thousands of people come each day to trade everything from turnips to silver, runic stones imbued with magic to 3 dozen kegs of beer. Caestarian is a 17 year old who has lived beside the Grand Market his entire life, and feels the cut and thrust of bartering and negotiating in his blood. After pressure from his parents to find a career, he applies to join the Keystone Council service, where he can dedicate himself to serving the city he loves. But Kez soon learns that managing such a diverse city is impossible without playing politics and negotiating labyrinthine bureaucracy and tradition. If he wants to make a difference, he will have to learn which rules he will have to follow - and which he can get away with breaking.

    Managing resources and finances is one of the learning people got from this pandemic. Many people haven't had a chance to earn money while staying at home during the lockdown. Particularly, the ones mostly affected by it are those who earn income on a daily basis such as farmers and market vendors, living hand to mouth. This paved way for the people in Koronadal City, Iloilo City, and Bacolod City to come up in a unique way to cope with these trying times without the use of money - the comeback of Barter System. Barter System is an ancient exchange process used even before Spanish came to our country. It has been used for centuries and long before money was developed. People traded services and goods for other services and goods in return. In ancient times, this system involved people in the same area; however today bartering is going global thanks to the internet and social media platforms. Citizens of these places created social media accounts such as the Barter Challenge Koronadal, Iloilo Barter Community and the Bacolod Barter community. Tough times are teaching us to be more resourceful and creative to survive. Likewise these help to flagship the concern for people and our environments because the barter system is an opportunity to reduce, reuse and recycle. Further, we learn to let go of things we held precious in the past for things more valuable at the moment. Definitely, one man's trash is another man's treasure, and the process of surviving amidst pandemic is just around the corner. Let us open our minds and heart to spread love and care for our people and home called Earth.

    This is a true story. In 1989 I left my full-time job as an artistic director in Toronto (and a verbally abusive boss) to become a starving artist in Montreal. I began by selling my hand-painted buttons on the street. I did not know a soul in town, so I went to art and music events solo. I always attracted the most interesting situations as I wandered the city with childlike awe. This story outlines one of those situations...
