The Arrival – Tales of East Seaworth
When Aisha Khan and her brother Ibrahim move with their family into a crumbling old house on the edge of East Seaworth, nothing feels quite ordinary. The woods whisper warnings, the shadows dance, and ancient secrets stir beneath the trees.
Soon, Aisha discovers that she has been chosen for something far greater than she imagined. Together with new friends, she must face the mystery of dying forests, poisoned land, and an age-old guardianship that ties her to the town’s forgotten past.
From ghostly stables to tree spirits and whispered legends, the children are drawn into a battle to protect the woods before they vanish forever. But can three girls—and the bonds of their growing friendship—truly stand against forces determined to destroy the heart of East Seaworth?
A story of courage, friendship, and the magic of the natural world—perfect for readers who love fantasy adventures with a hint of mystery.

On Human Excellence
Everyone uses the word, usually somewhat in awe, certainly with respect; Alfred Nobel by means of his will left an immense estate in perpetuity awarding annually a small fortune to those who during the previous year had accomplished something great for the benefit of mankind which according to the spirit of his will embodied it; a few brave souls seemingly try to actually achieve it; leaders frequently use the word inspirationally to try to motivate; it conjures up visions of the ideal; history abounds with examples of wars and revolutions fought over difference of opinion over it; President Carter before his presidency wrote a book about certain aspects of it; the idea of it elevates, enthuses, and excites; when comparing things on some basis one stands out above the others for manifesting some high quality that warrants being labeled it; it seems to mean definitely a cut above the rest; it comes from some kind of measurement; some set of criteria; it certainly means something to everybody; but … try asking someone to define the noun form of the word, not the adjective form, or the adverb, but the noun; suddenly there will be seen puzzled then blank expressions; mouths move, but nothing comes out.

Morty’s Marvellous Monday
Mondays can sometimes be miserable. Sometimes it’s the weather, or choosing what coat to wear, or what to eat for breakfast. One seemingly ordinary, possibly miserable, Monday, all that changes for Morty.
While they were sleeping, his mom had a wonderful dream time visit by a teeny tiny sweet elf named Edgar. He has big indigo eyes and a strange yellow coat and brings delightful news as he tells Morty’s mum that Monday is going to be the opposite of miserable. He also shows her how to use magic dust!
When Morty wakes up a little miserable, his mum can’t wait to tell him about her dream time visitor and the exciting news Edgar shared! She even gets an opportunity to practice using magic dust when Morty falls and hurts his knee. And so Marvellous Monday kicks off.
Morty can’t believe what his mum is telling him. He is so excited to get going and see what other surprises lie in store for the day! And, luckily for Morty, what may have been a miserable Monday turns out to be the most marvellous Monday ever! As he’s drifting off to sleep that night, his mum winks and says, “Who knows, tomorrow may be a Terrific Tuesday!”

Picture this: an early autumn day when the trees are starting to paint the landscape with vibrant hues of red, orange, and gold. The air is crisp with the faint scent of fallen leaves. And the car? Well, let’s imagine a vintage convertible, a classic beauty that adds a touch of nostalgia to the journey.
Then there are the bakeries and pubs. The allure of a warm, flaky pastry or a crusty loaf of bread is irresistible, as are the cosy country pubs. These places aren’t just about the drinks; they’re about the stories shared, the laughter that echoes off the walls, and the sense of camaraderie among strangers.
Now, pair this picturesque scenery, the bakeries and the pubs with the right weather, a sunny day with a gentle breeze. In this delightful scenario, the car becomes more than just a mode of transportation; it’s a companion. The purr of the engine and the feeling of freedom as you navigate your way through winding roads all contribute to the pleasure of the drive.
This book will give you turn-by-turn instructions to destinations, fuel and food stops along the way, points of interest and even average temperatures to thoroughly plan your adventure!
The allure of driving isn’t just about getting from point A to B; it’s a symphony of experiences. So, when you hit the road, consider the journey itself as the destination. Embrace the sights, relish the flavours, and soak in the moments that make driving an absolute pleasure.

Hunting for the Truth
As a child I was always told everyone has a purpose in life. A reason for being alive.
As a women I was told to sit down. Speak when spoken to. Listen to your elders. Dress like this, act like this. Don’t be different. Don’t be basic. Don’t. Don’t. Don’t.
I am so sick and tired of men thinking they have all the power. They created me. They turned me into this. The CIA took everything from me. They created me. Why?
Why me? Why break me? Why experiment on me? Why experiment on children, broken little children? Why turn us into a killing machine and send us all over the world to do their dirty work?
What is our purpose in life? What is mine?
Am I meant to ‘serve and protect’ the country who destroyed me and turned me into their perfect little experiment? Or maybe my purpose is to stop the cycle, to stop them doing this over and over again, stop them ruining the lives of other children.
Maybe my purpose is watching the world the CIA created burn down around them as they run and fight to survive. Oh, how the roles are reversed.
