New Books Under Construction by Bruce Ricketts

 


Mystery Underground (working title):

In 1964, at the height of the Cold War, an incident took place involving the USSR, the United States and Canada that has never been reported in the press or chronicled in a history book.  It was an incident that took all three countries to their highest levels of defence alert and, if not for the heroism of a few unsung persons, could have resulted in World War 3; a nuclear missile exchange that would have lasted less than 60 minutes and more than likely ended human life on earth. 

 This is that story.


Interesting Canadian People, Places and Things:

The focus of the book is stories of ordinary Canadians who have done interesting or remarkable, and sometimes, extraordinary, things.  Stories to be included in this new book  include:
  • The Waterboy Who Started The NHL
  • The Red Knight
  • The Caretaker Who Built A Lodge
  • The Marine Treasure Hunter of Louisburg
  • One man's rise from radar to TV and from England to Ottawa
  • The "mother" of 345 babies in Carleton County
  • Two hippies who carved a business out of the wilderness
  • The Young Girl versus the Cougar
  • The Mad Trapper
  • Robbery by the clock
  • Northern Justice
  • The Human Guinea Pig
  • The Scourge of Biddulph County
  • The Philippines come to New Brunswick
  • From stoves to streetcars
  • Canada's top shoe seller
  • The Used Car Teacher
  • Screwed by doubt
  • "T'anks for the VC, bye"
  •  The Chief versus the settlers
  •  In the steps of MacKenzie
  • Pink Pills for Pale People
  • Stitches and warrants
  • Radiation 'R Us
  • The Mystery of the Pen Name
  • and many more...

There are many Canadians, some of whom live on your street, who deserve to be recognized in this book.  If you wish to tell us about that person (or persons) feel free to drop Bruce a line at ricketts@mysteriesofcanada.com.
