Brindley Hosken’s farm, Withan, is a difficult, hilly patch of ground situated on the Lizard peninsula in the south of Cornwall. His land runs down to Frenchman’s Creek. One of the most peaceful, beautiful, and restful spots you are ever likely to find today.
When Brindley was asked to write a farming column for the local magazine, The Meneage Messenger, in 2007, he could not have known where it would take him. Developing a love for writing, his second book, Up Long Meadow, chronicles the history of his farming life over sixty years. As farming has changed from primarily manual, physical work to more tractor-driven he explores how, as a farmer, he has adapted to the changes that have been deemed progress.
His love of Cornwall and especially his locality on the south side of the Helford River shine through in this book, and hopefully will give the reader an understanding of the myriad of different histories and life stories that each farm and farmer have.

Valerie is the sequel to the book One Chance published in 2019. A young mother, Valerie had abandoned her infant daughter and left her with her parents. June, her daughter, now a grown woman had struggled with her decision to get in touch with her mother, many years had passed and much water under the bridge. There would be joy and sadness in their meeting, all would not be rosy all of the time and many skeletons would be peeping out of the closet. June had been oblivious to the many times her mother had tried to contact her through the years. Birthday cards, Christmas presents, all returned unopened by her grandmother who’d held a grudge against her only daughter that could be seen in her eyes on the odd occasion her name would be mentioned. She’d felt that void in her life that only a mother can fill, her grandparents had been so good to her and she’d loved them dearly and missed them still. Valerie, a story that will make you laugh and make you cry.
Peter Berger was born in Munich and raised with strong moral principles. However, he always considered himself different, and soon learned that he had to hide his predatory nature. But even living a double life, he was determined to acquire the status of which he always dreamed.
He graduated with distinction from the University of Munich in medicine, became a close friend of Chancellor Adolf Hitler, and built a successful career. In his personal life, he marries the woman he considers suitable, from a wealthy family, with whom he has three children.
During the war, he became known as Captain Velvet, due to his velvety, mesmerizing voice, which was an excellent tool in carrying out his work. Peter thought his life was perfect, until the moment when, as he was sorting out the Jews, as they got off the train at Auschwitz, his gaze was fixed on Kathryn and her whole world suddenly seemed to make no sense.
Peter fell in love for the first time and with a Jewish woman. He knew they had no future and that if the SS found out he was holding her prisoner in his house, forcing her to have a relationship with him, he would be considered a traitor and there was only one price to pay for such a betrayal: death.
But the end of the war is imminent, and Peter has to put an end to his relationship with Kay and he only knows one way to do it…
In Nursery Rhymes, D.C.I. Keir Dickson put two young brothers behind bars for eight years. In They Never Saw It Coming, the government devised a two-year plan to reduce the congested English prisons. A priest by the name of Fr. Shaun O’Brien takes on the task of rehabilitating the two brothers, or so it appeared. The real purpose of taking on these two brothers was to wreak vengeance on the police and British army. D.C.I Keir Dickson foils the plan but the priest is injured, losing his hand in the process.
The story now continues with Shaun O’Brien escaping from the hospital bed, hellbent on revenge for the death of his two twin brothers, shot by British soldiers while trying to run a roadblock in Ireland, and for the torture to which he was submitted.
D.C.I. Keir Dickson and his team now have the task of finding O’Brien, and finally bringing him to justice for good.
This book of poetry will appeal to those who can see life from a different perspective; for example, the author’s poem on Trousers, reflecting a different view of these everyday garments. His writing is both innovative and sometimes intense whilst also being humorous, such as Knickers and Bras and It’s the Dog that gets the Blame. His writing can also be political and controversial like his poem Black is White and can contain clear messages for political leaders.
The author’s insight into the lives of different people, as shown in Actors and Disability, shows a refreshing and informative view of life. His love of the countryside is clearly demonstrated in Beauty of the Countryside and in other poems. His writing is more punchy than mellifluous, reflecting his unique style of composition.
This collection of poetry is a worthy addition to the genre.
