When being polite is dangerous

We must have the courage to speak from our hearts without shame.

Drawing from her own experiences as a blonde woman navigating cultural clashes, alongside hard facts from Cologne’s New Year’s Eve assaults, the Rotherham scandals, and countless silenced voices, Maret Jaks exposes how unbounded multiculturalism has become racist, sexist, homophobic, and a direct threat to women, girls, children, Jews, and core Western values.

With courage and clarity, Jaks argues for a humane alternative: multiculturalism framed by unbreakable legal boundaries that place human rights—especially for women and the vulnerable—first.

First published in 2016, this book is essential reading for anyone tired of political correctness with speech protocols that put our democracy at risk. Whether you’re concerned about women’s safety, children’s well-being, or the future of open societies, NOTES FROM A BLONDE offers thoughtful analysis, personal stories, and a call to reclaim what our democracies were built to defend.

The New Communism Wears a Corporate Smile

Chomsky showed how power manufactures consent. Jaks shows what happens when that power learns to speak progressive.

What appears as benevolent “stakeholder capitalism,” ESG scoring, DEI mandates, and urgent climate policies has delivered censored debates, weakened democracies, energy poverty, spiking food prices, and wealth flowing steadily upward.

Canada has become the leading showcase, but the pattern is spreading across the West. Our desire to support good causes is being expertly weaponized against us.

This incisive book traces how we arrived here and offers a clear path forward: reclaim open conversation, restore merit and regulated capitalism, and defend the free speech that underpins democracy. If you sense something is profoundly wrong beneath the feel-good slogans, Corporate Communism will give you the clarity and courage to see through the smiling face of a new authoritarianism—and push back.

Time for software safety laws

When your car ignores you

Cars are now sophisticated computers on wheels (often with over 100+ million lines of code) that make life-or-death decisions, yet there are no software safety laws. None.

Killer Code is refreshingly straightforward — even if you know nothing about cars or software. Written in clear, conversational language, Maret Jaks explains complex technical issues like you’re chatting over coffee.

A book for any time

Love, Reinvention & Champagne!

A TRYST WITH PARIS is a witty, heartfelt memoir about a bold mid-life adventure.

At 47, Maret Jaks moves to Paris, leaving behind her successful career, grown daughters, and familiar life in Canada to fulfill a long-held dream.

What follows is a deliciously candid chronicle of starting over in the City of Light—complete with charming (and not-so-charming) Frenchmen, online dating disasters, a real French Count, and the everyday realities of becoming a true Parisienne.

Funny, empowering, and refreshingly honest, Maret’s story celebrates courage, sensuality, and the messy beauty of reinvention.

Whether she’s navigating cultural faux pas, facing her fears, or learning to embrace her womanhood at any age, her voice sparkles with sharp humor and hard-won wisdom. Perfect for fans of Eat, Pray, Love and anyone who’s ever dreamed of packing up and chasing a new chapter.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is simply say “yes” to Paris.
