KinderBarton The Second Book
When we first met Stephen Barton, we met a strong-willed 3-year-old toddler trying to understand and apply the incomprehensible adult world in which he is growing up.
When we meet him today, we find a more self-confident little boy, growing older and meeting new experiences. He proudly revels in his role as mascot of his local football team but can run away and hide when faced by a not very scary dog.
Stephen is proud of his dad, but more often he does things with his mother, who takes him every day to the school which he has recently joined. He is also very close to his grandma and to both his granddads, who all think the world of him. However, he has found it difficult to build up friendships with other children in his class.
He has a sort of love/hate relationship with his big sister, Gladys, who can sometimes treat him as a pesky encumbrance.
Even before Stephen started school, he had learnt to swim and can now, by a mile, outdo his classmates in the pool. Come and meet him again.

My Life Without a Nutshell
Life is about reflection and forgiveness. It has taken me a lifetime to figure that out. Sometimes we get too involved in our own daily trauma to realize what is happening around us and, subsequently, to us. Whenever I see an elderly person, I like to wonder what stories that person could tell me if given an opportunity. Or, better yet, what did that person learn about him or herself throughout a lifetime of adventures? I use the word “adventures” because life should be viewed as such. Nobody knows how long we’ll be here. Nobody knows what will happen next or who we’ll meet or who will influence us in the future. But we all can look back at our lives and either laugh or cry or, in my case, cringe at times. I chose to do them all, and I wouldn’t change my life for anything in the world. I’m glad I went through some tough times because everything that happened to me had its purpose and lessons to be learned, and unfortunately, it took a lifetime to figure that out. My hopes are that whoever reads this won’t need a lifetime like I did.
My family immigrated from Italy to the United States when I was very young, and I wanted nothing more than to blend in with the American culture, but my old-school parents had other thoughts. I left home as a teenager to find myself and discovered a world full of wonderful opportunities; however, I also encountered a series of misfortunes that were both hilarious and unfortunate.
Yes, I am embarrassed about some of the things I wrote about in my new work entitled My Life Without a Nutshell, but I really don’t care. The only way to truly heal from past trauma is to be brutally honest with oneself, and that is the intention of this series of short stories. I apologize in advance.

We Never Sleep – Who Does in Economy Class?
I did not set out to write a travel book. Instead I started, many years ago, to blog daily idiocentric observations to a small, dedicated group of online readers while travelling the equivalent of 100 times around the globe on business and at leisure.
Over time it became apparent that losing my luggage was going to be a major feature of my travels occurring more than 30 times to date, so I have taken a keen interest in recent developments to reduce this irritating inconvenience with the use of radio frequency technology.
A selection of consolidated daily travel blogs has been put together as the basis of this publication, written in a rough and ready format while on the road, commenting on the comic, the absurd, the thought-provoking and the downright surprising aspects of exploring the ways of the world in more than 130 countries around the world.

Good News vs False News Revealed by The Holy Spirit
The pandemic forced us all to pause. It was a moment to catch our breath, to look back, and to ask: what have I believed that wasn’t true? What news—in my world and in my heart—has been leading me down the wrong path?
This is your invitation to a different path.
Now is the time for a fresh start. To embrace the true Good News, to welcome Jesus Christ as your Lord, and to let your will align with His. In return, He fulfils His beautiful promise: to fill you with His Holy Spirit.
Here is the incredible truth: that same Spirit that transformed the disciples at Pentecost is being poured out for you today. It’s a power for now, to change your life from the inside out and touch everyone around you.
Imagine walking through life with that power—with Jesus’ own Spirit and His spiritual gifts. You become part of a gentle but mighty force for good, bringing God’s love and living water to a world that feels dry and weary. You get to help the blind see, set the captive free, and see prayers move mountains.
It all begins with a simple "yes". Say yes to Him, and let your road to redemption begin.

The Addiscombe Mystery
In March 1932 Miss Sushannah Emberton, the 55-year-old housekeeper of Mr Ells Dagnall, was attacked in a semi-detached house in Addiscombe Road, East Croydon. She received such severe injuries that she died within two days of the assault.
By the time the police arrived, the perpetrator(s) had fled, leaving a majority of their booty behind. What followed was the biggest manhunt in the history of crime in Croydon, involving over one hundred police officers.
The investigations spread throughout Croydon, into some of the more seedy areas of central London and even to Dumbarton and Glasgow, but to no avail.
Until this very day the crime remains unsolved.
The author of The Addiscombe Mystery has supplied the reader with all the details of the murder reported in the local press. He has also included details of two similar crimes that were committed in the same area within two years of the demise of Miss Emberton. As an added bonus, he has retrieved, from the National Archives at Kew, all the statements taken by the police and included these for the reader’s consideration.
Even though the trail now may be a little cold, there should still be enough clues to assist the reader in determining where the responsibilities lie. Was it “Bottles” Philpot and “The Masher”, or were the identities of the perpetrators to be found elsewhere? Perhaps the reader would like to continue the work of “The Sedgemore Sleuths”.
Should you, the reader, believe that, after having read this book, you can succeed where the Croydon Constabulary failed and identify the villain(s) responsible for this most heinous of crimes, then perhaps you should consider contacting the Metropolitan Police at New Scotland Yard and inform them of your findings.
There are still many unanswered questions, even though a significant number of individuals were apprehended and then released when insufficient evidence was found against them. Why was Sushannah Emberton buried in the same grave as an ex-army major, fifteen years her senior? Why did she return from a shopping expedition empty-handed just before being attacked? Why did Mr Ells Dagnall lie to the police when giving evidence about his train journey from London to the scene of the crime, and why did the police not take more notice of this anomaly?
If you can answer any, or all, of these questions, then you may have solved The Addiscombe Mystery.

The Breeze
Time moves like the wind—unseen, unpredictable, and alive.
There are moments when the air itself seems to remember. A whisper of places you’ve never been. A feeling that you’ve lived this before.
Jonas Hale wakes between worlds, guided by a force that defies both science and memory.
The Breeze carries him through time, across civilisations long gone and yet to come. It leads him to a woman who seems to have known him before either of them existed. In every era, every world—familiar, impossible, and bound to him by something older than memory.
Now, together, they’ve uncovered what no government or machine could ever control: a force older than civilisation, alive in the air, able to bend reality itself.
In a city of neon and shadow, their choices will decide which version of the world survives… and which is lost to the wind forever.
But the Breeze takes as easily as it gives. And in its shifting light, Jonas must decide whether home is a place, a time… or the one soul who has always found him.
Sweeping, atmospheric, and unforgettable, The Breeze is a cinematic odyssey through time, memory, and the quiet miracles that connect us all. From the desert silence of a 32nd-century wasteland garrison to the rain-soaked neon towers of 2052 Earth and beyond, it explores what happens when technology transcends morality.
The Breeze fuses the meditative spirituality of Cloud Atlas with the political tension of Andor and the emotional depth of Arrival.
Intimate, atmospheric, and philosophically charged—a story about the spaces between science and the divine, searching for home across the edges of reality.
