“One’s education is not complete without the study of History and Civics.“

About the Author

I entered the tough world of publishing in Jamaica in 1999 and in 2024, I remain committed to my mission to archive valuable historical and cultural information that serves as a reference point for my fellow Jamaicans.

I have produced a repertoire of significant historically-based books, and even attempted to lighten the history through satire, (we know how we love to laugh at ourselves) in order to broaden the reach to every Jamaican.

My books are highly endorsed locally and internationally. I feel honoured that copies of my signature books still line the bookshelves of discerning collectors.

I am asking you to join a noble quest at this time, to place my latest book, New Vision Civics, into the hands of our secondary and tertiary-level students. This is a generational initiative to foster Respect, Peace, Patriotism and Stability. Go to ‘Donate a Book‘ and become part of the change.

In addition to my work as an author and publisher, I have an exemplary track record working in the areas of Sales, Marketing, Promotions, Communications, and Finance.

Our students will form the critical mass from which […]

Shirley Trusty, Retiree

“I love this. I taught Civics for many years at the institution where I worked. I always emphasize the importance of Government and citizens’ Rights and Responsibilities, to make them knowledgeable of their role as law abiding citizens.”
