No matter how we travel, and whether we realise it or not, we're all searching for moments — those little events or experiences which stay with us long after the majority of the tour, ride or cruise has faded into a vague memory of places, meals and hours on the road.

I ache for the old churches, the friendly pubs, the tiny, winding backroads. When I'm in Canada my thoughts often turn towards England, yet when I visit England I pine for Canada's wilds. I feel tugged in both directions, my mind hovering somewhere in mid-Atlantic.

Advertising legend David Ogilvy believed this book changed his life and was so passionate about its message that he had his employees read it every year. This is less a book about advertising, or even about Adams himself, as much as it’s a book about the power of mindset.

Life is short enough without wasting it away on the couch.

Dr. Adam Cassidy's last mission cost him an eye, his memory, and any chance of staying with his military brothers-in-arms on Guardian's Alpha Team. He'd scraped together the remnants of his life. He’d refined, rebuilt, and pushed on alone, while every night, sleep tortured him with the fleeting memory of the warm, welcome lips of a faceless, nameless woman.
