Eva Stachniak, Author
Author, Eva Stachniak launched her third novel The Winter Palace to critical acclaim as her story of Catherine The Great is securely set at Number 3 and sure to rise on The Globe and Mail bestsellers list.
Stachniak’s The Winter Palace is a story of power and vulnerability in the court of Empress Elizabeth of Russia at the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. John Barber in The Globe and Mail, praised the award-winning Stachniak for her well researched story…
“With The Winter Palace, her deep personal interest in the history of Eastern Europe has magically coincided with a worldwide surge of interest in her subject, Russian empress Catherine the Great.”
Pulitzer prize winning author Jane Smiley reviewed The Winter Palace and said
The Winter Palace, Eva Stachniak, 464 pages, Doubleday Canada
“…The Winter Palace is filled with a sense of disorienting vastness punctuated by particular rules and charms that people use to give themselves a feeling of control.”
Stachniak, formerly a Professor in the Faculty of Business at Sheridan College, had her first artistic success with her debut novel Necessary Lies which won the Amazon.com award for best new novel in 2000.
“I remember well that I started writing fiction when I was a full time instructor at Sheridan College. My colleagues were, in fact, my first readers, and their encouragement meant and still means a lot to me,” said Stachniak.
Stachniak’s novels Necessary Lies and her second novel Garden of Venus have successfully sold world-wide and have been translated into several languages.
Stachniak’s new novel The Winter Palace has had foreign release and is already selling well in the United States, U.K. and Europe and is currently being translated into Polish, Dutch and German for the foreign markets.
“I am delighted that The Winter Palace has met with such overwhelming interest and support. I like to think that every novel I finish is better than the previous one, but in the end all a writer can do is tell a story. The rest depends on readers,” said Stachniak.

Financial Planning students Steven Hole, Rohan Sharma and Chris Hoeppler took a solid bronze in the recent CIFP Case Challenge Event
Sheridan Financial Planning students recently had an opportunity to test their skills against students from five other colleges at the annual Canadian Institute of Financial Planners (CIFP) Case Challenge Event placing third overall behind Centennial and George Brown College. The Sheridan Faculty of Business team included Steven Hole, Rohan Sharma and Chris Hoeppler with Professor Sidney Liburd and Associate Dean, Rob Giberson.
Hosted by Centennial College in Scarborough, the November CIFP Case Challenge competition included participants from Centennial; Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning; George Brown College; Conestoga College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning; Mohawk College; and Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology.
“This is a great opportunity to showcase and demonstrate the fine job that these institutions are doing with financial services students,” said Keith Costello, president and CEO of The Canadian Institute of Financial Planning. “It’s a really good indication of where our highly skilled manpower in financial services is going to be coming from in the next 10 to 20 years.”
During the CIFP Case Challenge Event the students are divided into teams of two or three members, a financial case is given to the teams, and they have 90 minutes to craft a plan for that case. The teams each have 20 minutes to present their plans to a panel. The panel asks follow-up questions about the plan following the presentation. The teams are marked on the criteria of time management, creativity and presentation skills.
This event marks the second CIFP competition, last year’s competition was held exclusively for Centennial College students. In future, Costello hopes more colleges across the province — and, eventually, the country — will participate in the competition.

Tina Powell, President and CEO Big Fat Pen Publishing Inc.
Best-selling childrens’ author, and Sheridan Business Hall of Fame alumna, Tina Powell is set to launch her first foray into the adult book market with Picnic in Pisticci.
In her newly released book, Picnic in Pisticci, Powell reflects (see trailer) on her lifelong love of picnics. Beginning with her first picnic as a child, Tina recounts some of her most memorable picnics throughout her life leading up to a family picnic in Italy. Along with food, family, and friends, Powell discovers that picnics are also packed with idyllic expectations and often unexpected encounters of adventure, love, and other life lessons.
“I got the idea to write the book while planning what to do during an Italian holiday to my grandparents’ hometown. I thought, ‘We should have a picnic! A picnic in Pisticci!’ That got me thinking about how much I love picnics, how much one can learn on a picnic, and how the world truly needs more picnics,” said Powell.
Tina Powell will launch a publicity tour for Picnic in Pisticci in July starting in Oakville, Ontario, then Vancouver and finally October in Pisticci, Italy, hometown of her grandparents. Books are available through Red Tuque Books, www.redtuquebooks.ca retail price $23.95. Recognizing the needs of others, Tina Powell is donating $2 from the sale of each book to Food Banks Canada.
