Elkthomos lived in Artonia, a planet in a parallel universe to Earth. Sadly, there was much violence and suffering between the people there. The only way to regain peace was by finding the Santanalyse Ring, known for its magical pacifying power. The ring had been stolen from Artonia light years earlier, and taken to the Earth. It was because of this that the bloodshed between the people there had begun and indeed on earth also.As a judiciary member in the Artonian High Court, Elkthomos was one of the few who knew the ring's whereabouts, within the catacombs of Rome on Earth. Because of his unique abilities as a warrior, to win war without taking life, the judiciary commissioned Elkthomos with the mission of finding it. In accepting, Elkthomos was placing himself in the gravest of dangers. But, with his skill, he knew that he was the only Artonian who may have a chance of restoring peace amongst his people.

Who's In Charge?
Who’s in Charge?, written by Eddie Gallagher, is a book aimed at helping parents unravel the mysteries of violent and abusive children. For those who don’t have difficult teenage children, this book will come as something of a thunderbolt as the misery that some parents and families endure is not well-documented or discussed. For those whose children are reasonably normal and average, this will come as something of a relief! Never again will you complain about sour faces, bad moods and bombsite bedrooms.Eddie Gallagher’s main objective is to explore the facts and expose the taboo that surrounds the concept of children perpetrating violent acts upon their parents. However, Who’s in Charge? contains a mine of information about family relationships, about emotions in general and stacks of advice about good parenting, so this is a book that every parent would benefit from reading. It will also be of interest to professionals and academics as there has been little written on this topic, and nothing with such scope. Candid, non-judgmental, certainly not sanctimonious and full of humour, Eddie Gallagher is able to take this difficult and largely hidden topic and expose it. Other topics are covered which would be of interest to any parent – the effect of social media and the internet, an increasing lack of respect towards authority in society – and the author also touches on the issue of violent abuse between adults within relationships plus the input of healthcare professionals and the moral minefield they face, all in all a veritable mine of information. Accessible, relevant and easy to read, every part of this book will impact someone somewhere, whether they have children or not.

Yoga De-Mystified
"Shiv Sharma is an inspiring yoga teacher who is also a scientist. His upbringing in India gave him a sound understanding of the development of Indian philosophy whilst his subsequent scientific training instilled an essential desire to explain the world and seek justification for whatever is asserted. As a yoga teacher, he applies these principles by separating what is non-testable, or downright wrong, from what is measurable, understandable and repeatable; his mantra in class is to question, understand and apply well-directed effort." - Dave Plummer, ex-Head of Medical Imaging, University College London Hospital and Lesley Whitby
