New books

About the author: Jagdish R. Singh (Roy) was born June 29, 1953 in the town of Blenheim, on the Island of Leguan (Guyana).  In 1977, he immigrated to Canada where he studied spiritual beliefs and ancient myths.  Since then, he has been actively writing fiction and non-fiction. 

Singh's latest work of fiction, Adventures of the Homeless, describes the struggles of a Jewish man who sets out to liberate his friends and himself from poverty, and to overcome his mental illness.  Amid these undertakings, he is confronted with violence, discrimination, and problems associated with drug and alcohol abuse.  Adventures of the Homeless is the fourth in a series of books by Singh, which cover a range of multicultural issues.
