publishers Peter Evanchuck & Helene Lacelle hibernating

Well, it seems hibernation is part of the Canadian way during these severe winter nights - Like those bears, squirrels and other sleepy warm blooded creatures, we've been taking a break from publishing; instead, we've been working away on completing a documentary on homelessness that's taking our talents and energy. It's now winding down so we're back to publishing and have several new books coming out soon THE BABY BAKERY a sweet tale for children, THE DECLINE, FALL & RISE of PAYNE poetry and thoughts from a homeless Toronto poet, HOW INJUN JOE KILLED MARY MOTHER OF GOD a novella of real events on the mean streets of Canada

NELSON ADAMS PETER EVANCHUCK & HELENE LACELLE team up

NELSON ADAMS, engineer, entrepreneur, executive producer , had an idea for a cancer fighting- immune system builder in a product based on the concept of a sushi roll i.e. seaweed with raw, healthy, anti-oxidant food inside. chef PETER EVANCHUCK took Nelson's idea, combined a dozen or more tasty, anti-oxidant ingredients then wrapped them in sushi wrap called NORI then dipped this into a dark Belgian Chocolate to create this chocolate covered sushi roll.
