In 2013, I was approached by Kevin Sylvester, who had been a colleague with me at CBC Radio, to work with him on a book, Follow Your Money. Kevin did 90% of the work, yet graciously credited me with 50% of the credit. The result was an award-winning book, targeted at children aged 9–12. To this day, I believe it remains relevant:

Partly as a result of the success of Follow Your Money and the help of a YMCA friend, Bill Harnum, Dundurn Press was good enough to allow me to attempt a solo effort, this time aimed at an adult audience. Published in 2015, I believe that it has turned out to be remarkably prophetic, as the Canadian economy has more or less flatlined in the past decade, as I predicted 10 years ago:

Due to the success of Follow Your Money, Annick Press asked Kevin and me for a follow-up, Follow Your Stuff. It too soon became a best-seller and won its share of awards as well:
