The History and Traditions of the Nyungwe People

Edward Goka (Chilongo)

For generations, the history of the Nyungwe people has been preserved through memory, storytelling, and lived experience, yet much of it remains absent from written records. The History and Traditions of the Nyungwe People brings this rich heritage into focus, offering readers an accessible and carefully researched account of one of southern and central Africa’s historically significant communities.

Drawing on oral traditions, historical sources, and wider regional contexts, this book explores the origins, social organisation, cultural practices, and historical experiences of the Nyungwe people over time. It situates their story within broader African and global histories, including migration, trade, colonial encounters, and changing social structures, while maintaining a strong focus on local perspectives and voices.

Written with students, educators, and general readers in mind, this book avoids unnecessary academic jargon while remaining intellectually rigorous. It encourages readers to think critically about how African histories are recorded, remembered, and interpreted and highlights the importance of preserving indigenous knowledge for future generations.

The History and Traditions of the Nyungwe People is both an introduction and an invitation: an introduction to Nyungwe history for those encountering it for the first time and an invitation to engage more deeply with Africa’s diverse pasts beyond dominant narratives. It is an essential resource for secondary school students, teachers, and anyone with an interest in African history and culture.

However, Andreas is ambitious and cunningly attempts to frame James when they are in Egypt by using his ethnicity as an excuse to enter the tombs. Ticky gets abducted by Andreas and Tom, his co-workers in his team.

Ali, a native of Egypt, is befriended by Stefan and goes to the rescue of Ticky. Together with Stefan, they eventually travel from Egypt to Israel and to Jordan.

James eventually returns to visit his sister, Rita, and her husband in Switzerland. He then moves to work in Berlin and meets the love of his life, Helga.

This story emphasises the importance of friendship, family and love in a modern and fast-paced contemporary life.

Immigrant Saga

Kevin Scott

Around the year 1100 AD there was a lot going on in the world. A Northern people, known as the Vikings, had converted to Christianity and stopped their raiding (or Viking, as they knew it). To the south the Vikings, in that part of the world known as the Rus, had established a city called Kiev and traded as far away as Constantinople. In the Americas things had not gone so well, and the colonies in Newfoundland and Maine would not survive.

Far to the east another Polynesian people, escaping troubles, had migrated to a place they called Rapanui (Easter Island) and had started carving their huge stone figures, which would puzzle visitors for centuries to come. All was not well on the island, though, as resources were scarce and disputes had arisen between their tribes.

At the bottom of the world, not far from the Antarctic waters, there was a sleepy little land known as Aotearoa (New Zealand). In a century or so it would be colonised by yet another Polynesian group, the Māori, but for now it rested quietly amid bird song and was as yet untouched by the hand of man. Or so we thought.

Black Opal

Thomas Dew

In the blazing heart of the Australian outback, survival is a matter of grit, luck, and sheer willpower. Welcome to the opal fields—where fortunes are won and lost, and the land itself is as unforgiving as it is mesmerising. For those drawn to the hunt for precious stones, the desert offers both promise and peril.
When a man awakens alone, injured, and with no memory of who he is, he finds himself stranded in a vast, sun-baked wilderness. Hunted by relentless dingoes and haunted by questions he cannot answer, he must summon every ounce of determination to drag himself toward the faint hope of shelter. As the merciless landscape tests his body and spirit, he faces not only the dangers of the wild but the torment of his own forgotten past.
Raw, gripping, and unflinching, this story plunges you into the extremes of human endurance and the stark beauty of the Australian desert. Will he find salvation—or will the outback claim another lost soul?

The Final Demand

Mike Stovell

Join these two highly respected, honest businessmen, who have spent almost twenty-five years building from small beginnings an award-winning, prestigious house-building company. Then the dreaded 2008 so-called credit crunch reared its ugly head. The bank they had been loyal to from day one was treating them like “Lepers”. Final demands and physical threats were coming in thick and fast! At this point one of the main characters, Jack Redman was determined not to let the bastards have the last laugh.

Jack the Lad was known for his cheeky but at the same time lovable nature. He had hatched a plot to rob a bank. Using, would you believe, a narrow boat as their 4mph getaway vehicle. His partner, straight-laced Frank Harrison, can’t believe his ears when Jack maps out the incredibly detailed plan to rob a London bank. After much persuasion from Jack and the stress of the business inevitably going down the drain, fantasy starts to turn into reality. Join these two unlikely, endearing, and risk-taking characters on their crazy “Robin Hood”-style adventure as it unfolds. Lots of risks, laughter, and danger, not to mention a few tears, lie ahead.

Past Solvers: The Trilogy

Girts Abentraums

What if the past could be edited like a manuscript—quietly, carefully, invisibly?

From the ancient scrolls of Heneku to the fall of the Bureau, the Past Solvers Trilogy follows the secret order tasked with preserving history by gently correcting it. Through dust-covered memories, hidden glyphs, and the ever-watchful eyes of time itself, Thomas Quest and Johnny Minute walk the echoes of forgotten moments, saving futures no one knows are in danger.

But when machines begin to solve the past without permission, the mission becomes a question:

What happens when time no longer needs us?

Spanning centuries and lost lifetimes, this genre-defying epic is a profound meditation on memory, legacy, and the quiet work of those who keep history from falling apart.

Some stories rewrite history. This one remembers it.

In 1944 an extraordinary event occurred that would captivate the intelligence agencies of the UK and US governments for decades to come. It was a journey neither government had experienced before or could ever have contemplated.
The event that had drawn both governments together was ruthlessly protected with such pragmatic and uncompromising determination that to date the secrecy of this joint operation had not been compromised. And so, a multi-billion-dollar operation had evolved over the intervening decades and was focussed on just one individual, Jamie Carter, who was presently living in Jersey.
Carter was unaware of what was about to unfold and powerless to change a thing.
In the coming days, both governments hoped to be able to establish just how Jamie’s mobile phone, credit cards and cash had been recovered in Berlin shortly after the end second world war.
