LD is the colourful biography of Louis Taylor, the longest-serving mayor in Vancouver's history; he was first elected mayor in 1910, and served off and on until 1934, for a total of eleven years. Taylor's story is also the story of Vancouver in the early decades of the 20th century, a young city experiencing a turbulent adolescence. Louis Taylor, or LD as he was known, arrived in Vancouver from Chicago in 1896 at the age of 39. He got involved in the newspaper business, first as an executive with The Daily Province, then as proprietor of The World, during which time he built the World Tower, which remains one of Vancouver's landmark buildings (now better known as the Sun Tower). He launched his political career in 1902 when he ran successfully for licence commissioner; it was the first of 26 civic elections in which he ran, including 20 for mayor. In his early political life he was considered "the workers' friend" and was opposed by the city's business elite, who portrayed him as corrupt. He also had a reputation for being soft on crime, and was implicated in a 1928 police investigation that lost him an election. But his achievements included the establishment of the airport, a town planning commission, and the water board. His private life, however, was another story, a virtual soap opera that mirrored the ups and downs of his political career; his wife was addicted to opium, and he found himself mired in bigamy and divorce scandals. As Vancouver grew from small frontier town to a major international port city, LD saw the city through the Depression, and in a sense Vancouver grew up under his tutelage. LD: Mayor Louis Taylor and The Rise of Vancouver vividly documents the life of a man who dominated the city for years.

LD Just Means Learn Differently includes autism, dyslexia, ADHD, other learning issues, and physical obstacles related to multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy. It reflects characters that are based off actual cases, whereby people surpassed or were blocked by learning issues. It’s written like a novel so as to allow for confidentiality, and to focus on the passion that gets people through the strains that are associated with it, rather than a step-by-step teaching methodology or text manual. www.johntoker.com Cynthia Brian, co-author of a NY Times Best Seller, interviews John, about his novel, LD Just Means Learn Differently, on World Talk Radio, www.star-style.com and syndicated on other Internet and radio stations. Excerpts: "All true teaching is building skills for independent thought." "Among the shattered glass, there are diamonds that must be preserved for those who feel broken."
L.D., the Littlest Dragster, is a life lesson for small children written by two educators with former police experience. The story is a combination of traditional stranger danger lessons, as well as a lesson in the importance of obeying parents. Many times threats do not come from total strangers or from unfamiliar surroundings. Danger can lurk anywhere, including places where children and their families frequent. Little L.D. disobeys his parents in pursuit of his own hedonistic happiness. But his rebellion becomes seriously scary, and potentially life threatening, when he is confronted by the dangers of a world outside of his parents direct supervision. In the end, L.D.'s father comes to his rescue, but not before L.D. learns a valuable life lesson. The book uses race cars as the main characters in storybook fashion to maintain young children's interest while imparting a valuable safety lesson.
