The Extra Ordinary Women of Britain
Britain has a hidden wealth of fascinating and important women peppered throughout its history, perhaps more than any other European nation. This book is an introduction to thirty-seven British women whom I believe are truly exceptional and, since the 1st century AD, their lives have dramatically influenced British history and culture.
You will know some of them, but you may not know others. This is an introduction to them and it also includes a list of other women that you will find worthy of your own research. Please note, however, that each of these chapters is an introduction and you may wish to read more about them yourselves.
This book is a sequel to my book The Extra Ordinary Women of France. Both books were inspired by a visit I took some years ago to the Panthéon in Paris, the mausoleum for the interment of famous men and women of France. There were 81 people interred there of which only 6 were women. Hence, the idea for both these books.
I know you will find them fascinating.
They should be available from booksellers and from Amazon.

Unalome
In a world where power is currency and secrets are deadly, four lives converge in an unexpected reckoning.
Dr. Mark Bastionne never anticipated that a single phone call would unravel everything he thought he knew. When Grant Javik, a man burdened with dangerous knowledge, reaches out, Mark is pulled into a hidden war, one that also ensnares Amelia, a woman escaping a past that refuses to release her, and Jason, a tribal chief who walks the fine line between tradition and revolution.
As they navigate a landscape riddled with corruption, betrayal, and buried truths, their loyalties are tested, and their hearts are laid bare. What begins as duty transforms into something far more personal, an unbreakable bond forged in defiance of those who would see them fall.
In a society teetering on the edge of change, where justice is elusive and love is a risk, survival is not enough. They must choose: submit to the forces that seek to control them or carve their own destiny.
Unalome is a gripping tale of love, power, and resilience, about the scars we carry, the choices that define us, and the courage it takes to forge our own path. Some bonds shatter under pressure. Others become unbreakable.
