KELOWNA, BC, CANADA & UNITED STATES – In an era where many only dream of escape and reinvention, author Arlene Galisky has done what few have dared—and lived to tell the story in a powerful new three-book memoir series, Dreamers and Doers. Published by Scriptor House LLC, the trilogy chronicles Galisky’s extraordinary sixteen-year journey living aboard a sailboat and navigating thousands of miles across the vast and unpredictable waters of the Pacific Ocean to Australia and Southeast Asia.

Remarkably, Galisky and her partner David Ball began planning their journey later in life—he was 55 and she was 48—and neither had ever sailed before. With no prior experience and no maritime background, they stepped into a completely unknown world, driven only by determination, courage, and the belief that it was never too late to reinvent their lives.

At once deeply personal and universally inspiring, Dreamers and Doers is more than a memoir—it is a testament to courage, resilience, and the life-changing power of choosing the unknown over the familiar.

Drawing directly from her personal journals and official boat logs, Galisky delivers a rare, unfiltered account of what it truly means to leave everything behind in pursuit of a dream. Her writing brings readers face-to-face with towering ocean swells, remote island cultures, moments of isolation, and profound self-discovery. Through triumphs, challenges, and transformative encounters, Galisky reveals the emotional and physical realities of life at sea—and the remarkable personal growth that emerges from it.

The trilogy includes:

1. Crossing the Pacific: Dreamers and Doers Part One — A gripping beginning that captures the bold leap from conventional life into the vast unknown, as Galisky and her partner embark on their transpacific crossing in pursuit of freedom and purpose.
2. Beneath the Southern Cross: Dreamers and Doers Part Two — As their journey continues, readers are immersed in the beauty and history of the ancient land that is Australia, where they spend over 100 nights sleeping on the ground as they drive 28,000 kilometers around the coastline and through the outback. Another voyage then takes them back across the South Pacific, where survival, adaptation, and resilience become daily realities.
3. Exploring Far Away Places: Dreamers and Doers Part Three — A powerful conclusion reflecting on the lessons, growth, and lasting transformation forged by sixteen years of exploration, ultimately revealing how the journey reshaped their understanding of life, purpose, and possibility.

Galisky’s storytelling stands apart for its authenticity, emotional depth, and cinematic detail. Her experiences illuminate not only the external adventure of crossing oceans, but the internal journey of confronting fear, embracing uncertainty, and redefining one’s identity.

In a time when readers increasingly seek stories of meaning, courage, and transformation, Dreamers and Doers resonates as both an unforgettable adventure and a profound reminder that extraordinary lives begin with a single brave decision.

The Dreamers and Doers trilogy is now available worldwide through major booksellers, including Amazon, in both print and digital formats:

• Crossing the Pacific: Dreamers and Doers Part One
• Beneath the Southern Cross: Dreamers and Doers Part Two
• Exploring Far Away Places: Dreamers and Doers Part Three

A groundbreaking new book, From Ancient to Futuristic World: China’s Advanced Journey Through Innovation, AI, and Influence, offers a sweeping and deeply researched examination of China’s dramatic ascent as a global economic and technological force. Drawing on decades of firsthand observation, the author presents a detailed analysis of China’s transformation from a struggling nation in 1949 to a world leader shaping the future of innovation, artificial intelligence, infrastructure, and global governance.

The book outlines how China has rapidly expanded its economic capabilities to become the world’s leading exporter and manufacturing hub, now responsible for more than 31 percent of global industrial output. It also explores China’s dominance in essential industries such as rare earth elements, steel, solar energy, and electric vehicles. Readers gain insight into China’s remarkable technological breakthroughs, from the Chang’e-4 and Chang’e-5 lunar missions to the world’s largest high-speed rail network and the precision-driven BeiDou navigation system. The book further highlights the nation’s expanding technological independence, including Huawei’s development of a 7nm 5G chip.

With a strong focus on China’s long-term strategic planning, the book details initiatives such as the construction of 200 smart cities, the strengthening of digital governance, and the implementation of a forward-looking 2030 to 2035 economic agenda centered on next-generation industries. These developments are placed in contrast with the author’s assessment of the United States’ evolving global position, including the perceived weakening of traditional pillars of American influence like the dollar, military reach, technological leadership, and financial systems.

The book also examines the shifting geopolitical and economic landscape. It discusses the deepening partnership between China and Russia following Western sanctions, the rise of the BRICS coalition’s de-dollarization efforts, and the implications of the expiration of the U.S.-Saudi petrodollar agreement in 2024. It also explores how energy shortages and mounting economic pressures in Europe have prompted several nations to pursue closer commercial ties with China despite calls from Washington to reduce reliance on Chinese markets.

In its concluding analysis, the book argues that China’s emphasis on patience, economic resilience, and global engagement positions it advantageously in a rapidly changing world. As the United States navigates internal political challenges and global pressures, the author suggests that China’s diversified economy and long-term planning underpin a stability that will continue to shape the international order.

From Ancient to Futuristic World invites readers, policymakers, and scholars to reassess global power dynamics and to consider how China’s strategic approach is influencing the future of international relations and technological development.

Digital economy has enhanced the living standard of the Chinese people. China’s global influence is boosted by its BRI projects across many countries and bilateral trade with many African countries with zero tariffs on their imports.

The book is now available at scriptorhouse.com.
