We Walk On Past” is a poignant and socially conscious song that
delves into the issues of indifference and neglect in society.
Through its evocative lyrics, the song highlights various forms of
suffering and injustice that people often overlook or ignore.
The song’s verses paint vivid pictures of different individuals in
distress, such as a lonely woman, a hungry child, a broken soldier,
a homeless man, a missing father, a sister gone, a jailed brother,
and a dying person. These characters represent the broader issues
of poverty, war, family disintegration, and systemic inequality.
The recurring phrase “we walk on past, the pride of it all”


underscores the collective apathy and pride that prevent society from addressing these issues.
The chorus emphasizes the shared responsibility in this neglect, as it repeats the act of walking
past these tragedies, highlighting a sense of communal complicity. The repetition of “walk past”
and “the pride of it all” serves as a powerful reminder of the moral and ethical failings that allow
such suffering to continue unchecked.


Overall, “We Walk On Past” is a call to action, urging listeners to recognize and confront the
pride and apathy that contribute to societal neglect and to take steps towards compassion and
justice.

PRESS RELEASE: ETERNITY’S END: Book 5 of the Eternal Chronicles Series by Zachary Hagen

ETERNITY’S END: Book 5 of the Eternal Chronicles Series The end of the critically acclaimed Christian saga is here by Zachary Hagen.

Version 1.0.0

Either let it burn, or drown it in the waves.

Taariq has continued his descent into madness, and his supporters are
more devoted than ever, at least for a time. As he pursues his ultimate
goal of reclaiming his dragon form and tearing Aelon and Michael from
their throne, Elior, Nereza, Opal, and Nyx aim to follow Michael’s call, but
it isn’t easy.


Building a boat in the peaks of Nanony seems foolish to most, and
plagues divide the faithful from the merely present until dragon-fire rains
down and flood waters rise. Will Taariq finally be defeated, or will his mad
rush for power prove successful against the forces of light?


This final installment of The Eternal Chronicles brings together old friends
and lovers for one final battle that will decide the fate of Lux and Nox Terra
forevermore. This fast-paced tale will keep you hooked from cover to
cover with a whiplash race to the end of our heroes’ journey.

PRESS RELEASE: EDWARD WILLET’S LATEST MIDDLE GRADE/YA MODERN-DAY FANTASY IS “FIREBOY”!

Aurora Award-winning author Edward Willett’s latest is a modern-day humorous middle-grade/YA fantasy adventure featuring a narrator you’ll never forget

Shadowpaw Press in Regina, Saskatchewan, is thrilled to announce the release on June 24 of the newest novel by Aurora Award-winning author Edward Wilett, the middle-grade/YA modern-day fantasy adventure Fireboy.

Set in a fictional foothills town in Alberta, Fireboy tells the story of two thirteen-year-old girls, about to start Grade 8, who must work together to uncover the terrifying truth of what—and who—is responsible for the mysterious disappearance of everyone else in their Grade 7 science just a few months before.

“I can’t wait for readers to meet Sam, the narrator and main character in Fireboy,” says Willett. “She was so much fun to write; I hope readers enjoy getting to know her and accompanying her on her adventures as much as I did.”

More about Fireboy

“I knew things were getting weird when I saw my best friend’s face in the campfire. I didn’t realize how weird until the campfire followed me home . . .”

Thirteen-year-old Samantha “Sam” MacReady is nervous about the start of Grade 8, especially science class, which isn’t too surprising: last year, her Grade 7 science class mysteriously disappeared on the way to a field trip she missed out on.

But when her best friend, Lorenzo―whom no one has seen since he got on the bus with the rest of that class―suddenly appears in a campfire, she moves from nervous to freaked out. She teams up with Meg LeBlanc, the sole student survivor of what all adults refer to as “The Tragedy,” to uncover just what went on that day and why Lorenzo is now showing up in her back yard made entirely of flames.

What the two girls find out is far freakier and scarier than they ever imagined. Sam and Meg must use all their grit and intelligence to save the day and free their friends from magical enslavement . . . or fall victim to the very same fate.

Praise for Fireboy

“An exciting action-hero adventure centred on a compelling and competent narrator.”  – Kirkus Reviews

Fireboy is a story jam-packed with mystery, action, humour, and surprises. You’ll never look at science class or elementals the same way again.” – Arthur Slade, Governor General’s Award-winning author of Dust

“A gripping read! . . . Sam’s engaging narrative voice in Fireboy is certain to draw readers into this mystery in which things are far from what they appear to be, and Sam herself is plunged deeper and deeper into mortal danger. Highly recommended!”―Alison Lohans, award-winning author of more than thirty books for young readers and adults

“Edward Willett’s Fireboy is a joy to read. His charming and clever main character faces an interesting and unusual situation that feels both like fantasy and like science fiction . . . the plot is quite exciting and kept me rapidly turning pages. An enjoyable book all around.” – L. Jagi Lamplighter, author of The Books of Unexpected Enlightenment

“A murderous tangle of kidnappings, treachery, weird alchemy, and an ancient evil that never dies.” – Matt Hughes, author of The Emir’s Falcon
