The Diary of Catherine Cunningham
Leona, a teenage girl from the busy city of Birmingham, is drifting down the wrong path, making poor choices and growing increasingly distant from her parents. In a bold attempt to turn things around, her parents make a life-changing decision: to leave the city behind and move to a quiet rural village.
Furious about the move, Leona falls out with her parents. Feeling isolated and alone, she uncovers an old Tudor diary buried in the garden. On the night that she reads the diary, something extraordinary happens—Leona wakes up in Tudor England.
Lost, confused, and frightened, she has no idea how to get home. That is, until she meets the girl who wrote the diary. Together, they embark on a thrilling adventure filled with danger, fear, and adrenaline.
As their bond deepens, so does their determination to survive and find a way back. Against all odds, Leona eventually returns to her own time—and to her family—forever changed by the journey.
Her time in Tudor London teaches her the most valuable lesson of all: how lucky she truly is.

The Essence of Living
Everyone is subject to these three main feelings:
- Fear;
- Desire to know;
- Desire for happiness, freedom, and fulfilment.
Attainment of Self-knowledge fulfils all of these desires.
The highest purpose of life is to know and realise your true essential nature: the Consciousness-Awareness, known as the inner, changeless, ever-present, blissful Self. The Self is the witness to your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and perceptions. The changeless Self is your true identity. You are not the body-mind or ego-personality. You are the subject and the body-mind is the objects of your awareness.
Your original state of being is Oneness, in which there is no separation, and no duality. It is the ego, the separate-self, that constructs the subject-object duality, a separate-I, and false identification with the mind-body.
It is because of self-ignorance that we have forgotten our true spiritual nature and feel different and separate from others and God. The illusion of separation and misidentification is the cause of our suffering and bondage. The ignorance of this illusion disappears with knowledge of the Self (Self-Knowledge).
This book is a constant, daily reminder of our true essential nature. It is a contemplative book for all those who have forgotten or are unaware of their true spiritual identity. It is for all those who are seeking to know the Truth, God, Ultimate Reality, lasting happiness, security, inner peace, love, contentment, and spiritual fulfilment.
You are destined to be spiritually enlightened! This book in the form of spiritual comic strips will open your mind and heart to remember, recognise, and know your true nature — the Self — to set you free in peace, love, and joy!

Bleached Bones and Bitter Figs
From the Ashes of an Unknown Burning Soulless
In “Bones and Bitter Figs”, Miguel Santiago invites you on an unflinching journey through the fractured landscapes of our shared humanity. This evocative collection delves into the marrow of memory, unearthing sacred decay and generational wounds that bind us all.
From the carnival of self-delusion where blessed professionals dance with painted masks to the apocalyptic spectacles where even madness finds its truth, Santiago’s poetry reflects the places we’ve bled, broken, and sought redemption.
“Sometimes when we wander lost, we find ourselves in all the places we never thought to look.”
Traverse the liminal spaces between darkness and light, where consciousness unravels and societal decay seeps into the foundations of our world. Through visceral imagery and raw emotion, these poems grapple with personal dissolution, moral collapse, and the ghosts we carry within us.
Encounter the haunting echoes of smokeless cities, silent screams behind closed doors, and phantoms lingering at the edges of perception. Yet, within the ruins, there’s a relentless pursuit of meaning, connection, and the possibility of renewal.
“These poems are not just lamentations—they prove that even in our most profound darkness, we still seek meaning, connection, and dare to speak our truth.”
“Bones and Bitter Figs” is a profound exploration of the human condition—a tapestry woven with stark honesty and undeniable resilience. Miguel Santiago’s debut collection is a powerful reminder that in our breaking, we find our beauty; in our scars, stories of survival; and in our alleged existence, the most profound connections.
May these words find meaning for you.

Has Iris made a grave mistake hiring her killjoy cousin Estelle to teach Maths and Science? Along with her erstwhile brother, Jeremy, Estelle plots to undermine the school in hopes of getting her hands on the inheritance. Perhaps Miss Braithwaite has bitten off more than she can chew.
Do all the girls even make it to the end of Year Nine? Will Iris’ vision for Makepeace College survive even the first year of the two-year scholarships she awarded?
Can heartache and headaches be counteracted by a good dose of tongue-in-cheek humour?

Extraterrestrials, Humans and their Religions, The evolution of evolution
This book is about the potential impact that first contact with more advanced extraterrestrials may have on human civilisation, with particular emphasis on major religions.
The book attempts a realistic review of the present physical, intellectual, ethical, social and religious state of humanity and the risk it faces of causing its own demise or even extinction.
The book examines the violent nature of Darwinian evolution and argues that humanity is not doomed to remain in this violent stage of its development by force of anything in the universe. Its continuation is the default position that arises from humanity’s failure to rise to the challenge of change and social growth.
