Monsters
For she knows that she is his creation, a monster herself.
So she tries to fit in and become somebody else.

Even with her mask in place, she does not belong here, even when in disguise.
They can see straight through to her soul through her transparent eyes.
There they source innocence and naivety, hope, and ignorance.
And so, the man they call Narcissus, asks her to dance.
And so, begins the story all over again.
Into his arms she was beckoned in.
Hope raped by Narcissus birthed a gorgon conception.
Birthed a child who shook her head at love and any form of affection.

Christian the Lion Cub and the Snow Globe King
Christian the Lion Cub loves telling stories more than any other animal in the Rainbow Forest. His stories are so good, the other animals gather around each day to hear him speak. They are proud to be a part of the Rainbow Forest when they hear them.
Christian’s parents always tell him that he is one-of-a-kind in all the forest, and Christian loves his animal friends for this same reason.

There is Kimmy, the kangaroo; something of a prima donna but nonetheless, dear to Christian.
Roaring is the last thing on Christian’s mind when he receives disturbing news one night which he has to let the other animals know about. Can he find a story which will get his friends’ attention? The Rainbow Forest has been turned upside-down. How will the animals turn it the right way around again?

Ocean Times
Siblings Alexander and Lily did not have great expectations. Most of their friends were jetting off abroad for much-needed and much-missed holidays after the strain of the first Covid-19 lockdown. They had wanted to fly abroad too, perhaps to somewhere with a welcoming, warm climate, somewhere exciting and exotic. But the money set aside for this vacation had been swallowed up when their mum’s old car had broken down.
So, they were setting off instead for a ‘staycation’ in Brampton Sands, a location so remote that there weren’t even any motorways leading to it! Of course, they were looking forward to a holiday with their mother, but could a ‘staycation’ in their own country really match up to a wonderful trip abroad?
Ocean Times is an inspiring and heart-warming tale of friendship, fun and resilience, with a delightful measure of magic. Readers new to the main characters will be captivated by them, while old friends from Dragon Times will be enchanted once more.

Conscience – The Restoration
Although the word for Conscience is absent from the Old Testament and from the Gospels (with the possible cameo appearance in some versions of Jesus and the woman ‘taken in adultery’), it is an unavoidable commonplace in our Western civilization. This book highlights the ever-present, yet not always evident, presence of Conscience in the public and in the private arenas.
The classical Greek origin of Conscience is duly acknowledged; its universality is discussed; its non-appearance in relevant Gospel versions (Vaticanus and Sinaiticus) is illustrated.
Chapter-by-chapter comparisons are made between biblical instances and contemporary matters of concern such as genocide and slavery. Attention is given to subjects such as the harmful effect of power on Conscience (abortion, for instance). Consideration is given to the interaction of Conscience and human conduct (untimely death).
The book ends with a Conscience-based poem by a man who was wrongly accused and in solitary confi nement for 20 years.£14.99 -
