From playwrights to poets, from screenplay writers to journalists, from meditation experts to therapists, sixteen talented members of the Mississauga Writers Group have contributed to this collection.
The Mississauga Writers Group was established in January 2013 with the underlying objective of providing writers a forum to share their experiences and their dreams through creativity, knowledge and mutual respect. Word Fest is the first of many achievements of the members as a collective force and is a celebration of ideas, inspiration and dreams.
Whether you’re in the mood for mystery or romance or you’re looking for some well-needed inspiration, Word Fest has it all. With a stunning combination of prose and poetry, this collection is a symbol of diversity and reflects the inherent passion of the contributors for the written word.
Word Fest is the first of many literary achievements of the Mississauga Writers Group. The book is available in both print and digital versions and is available on both Amazon and Kindle. Word Fest will also be officially launched on September 27, 2014 during the Culture Days’ event at the Mississauga Central Library.

Here I am as an exhibitor at the Mississauga Library Spring Literary Festival. Attendees showed plenty of interest in my book, The Transporting Device. DON’T DESPAIR! I will be making another appearance here in OCTOBER of this year. Details to follow. Be sure to visit my blog on a regular basis for updates.
March 12, 2014 (Mississauga, Ontario).
The Transporting Device is a compelling Science-Fiction story about a university professor who invents a device which creates instantaneous travel from a person’s current location to any desired destination in the world without airport hassles.
It has been available in a print edition since February 24 and sales have been brisk. “Customers have reacted enthusiastically since I’ve had it available as a printed book. In fact, the printed edition has outsold the download edition 5 copies to 1”, says Joseph Monachino, the story’s author. “Everybody I talk to has bought, or has the intention to buy, the book. The interest in the printed edition has been very gratifying!”
Those who have read the story in both e-book and printed edition have described it as “brilliant” and “ambitious”. Another reader said “…it’s an ingenious storyline with good structure that moves along well.” All-in-all, it has been well received.
I am married and 51 years old. My interests include writing, reading, Classic Rock music and artists, exercising using the treadmill, long distance walking, and watching movies especially comedies and Science-Fiction films.

This is the new cover page for The Transporting Device Book. Tell us what you think.
Can anyone input images of a CD-ROM into the transporting device and have those images released by it?”
“No way.”, said Frank. “The images must be transferred from the clone-cam to the transporting device only. You cannot transfer CD-ROM images into the transporting device,” concluded Frank Leon.
“This digital radio is very impressive, Uncle Frank.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, we are within view of Skydome in Toronto and we can still hear WRSR that’s located in Augusta.”
The next moment, the newscaster on WRSR described a bank robbery that took place in Augusta of a major downtown bank. The robbery failed, but Augusta police confirmed it was a failed attempt by the NOIR Bandit

Frank and Tony were now half way to Toronto via the I-95. Frank explained to Tony the virtues and detriments of the transporting device. Frank Lyon started explaining the facts of the transporting device. “Tony, listen to me very carefully. The transporting device in the right hands is harmless. But in the wrong hands, it is very, very dangerous and fatal.”
“What do you mean, Uncle Frank?”
“Just like anything, it was invented to do good things. Now imagine if the NOIR Bandit were to get his hands on the transporting device.”
“Ya…go on”
“What he could do is take an image of the UZI with the clone-cam and literally clone, one-by-one, as many UZI rifles as he prefers!”
“That’s a scary thought, Uncle Frank.”
“You better believe it is.”
“So how can you prevent someone from using it for a malevolent intent?“, asked Tony.
“What I did was to make sure that on the scanner of the transporting device, only my thumb-print can make it operational.
“Nobody else’s thumbprint will make it operate?”
“Nobody else’s.”
“Then there’s little to worry about.“
