    Dare to Dream Trilogy
    Gergely Mikola

    Dare to Dream is a trilogy of hope, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of dreams—woven with the powerful truth that life’s greatest transformations arise from daring to dream and recognising the pivotal moments that can change everything.


    In New York, Malcolm, a struggling taxi driver with a love for music, fights against endless rejection and hardship. One day, a chance encounter with a mysterious passenger opens a door he never thought possible.


    In Zambia, Zawadi, a determined young girl with nothing but chalk and a dream of fashion, refuses to give up—even as the world tells her it’s impossible. Her journey shifts dramatically when her sketches reach someone who can change her life forever.


    In Budapest, Áron, a waiter with grand aspirations, dreams of managing the luxury hotels he can only admire from afar. His rise is a testament to grit and recognising opportunity in the unlikeliest of places.


    Dare to Dream is more than just three stories. It’s a celebration of courage, resilience, and the power of believing in your vision. It’s a reminder that those pivotal moments do exist—and those who dare to dream and seize them can change their lives forever.

    Fairy Tales for Adults
    Lady Moonshine

    Mr. Artemis Moon and Miss Solaris reside in the Kingdom of Sky, where they have a bird’s-eye view of events unfolding on Earth. Both are deeply passionate about children’s welfare, feeling compelled to intervene when they witness injustice.

    Solaris, Artemis Moon’s lifelong friend and confidant, appreciates his wicked sense of humour and love of pranks. She often enlists his help in playing practical jokes on humans who have strayed from the path of kindness.

    These enchanting tales showcase the triumph of good over evil, illustrating how our words and actions can profoundly impact others. Each story carries a moral lesson, as the residents of the Kingdom of Sky invite readers to join their campaign to improve humanity.

    The book calls on each of us to become advocates for compassion, empathy, and kindness, in the hope that love may ultimately conquer all.

  • When Reason Dreams
    hardback
    When Reason Dreams
    Julian Halsby

    We live in a rational age in which science and modern technology have removed doubt and ignorance. We no longer fear the dark, we no longer need to use superstitious symbols to protect our houses and families. We know what is happening in the world and are in contact with friends and family who might live miles away. Ours is a rational world… or is it?

    These short ghost stories are not set in remote Scottish castles or haunted Victorian houses. They are about the modern world, places where you would not expect to encounter the supernatural. Just because we can see the world on television, speak with people across the oceans and know exactly what causes natural phenomena, the happenings that so terrified our ancestors, does not mean that ghosts have disappeared. Scientific progress has not buried the supernatural.

    Children play with long dead ghostly friends, a cruise ship is haunted, a Stuart tragedy reveals its secret in a horrifying way, a married man revisits his past in Florence where he meets his death lured by the ghost of a former lover, a doctor fails to save his wife’s death in a car accident and is haunted to destruction by her spirit, a man is obsessed by a dream, an art dealer steals a painting from an old lady but her ghost returns to pursue him, a man buys a First World War memorial plaque and wished he had never seen it.

    Reason and logic still dream.

    Pet Rapport
    Nikke Hawksley

    Pets as part of the family, their inclusion in everyday life and their mishaps or adventures are reflected in these stories. Each story is accompanied by an illustration that is personally drawn by the author from a photo received from the owner and reflects their unique character and personality. Some true and real-life examples include: A cat which was inadvertently included in a parcel (but survived), a dog that was stolen from outside a shop but was restored to her owner and a rescue dog who found a wonderful home. These are all true, but there are also four fictitious and humorous examples ‘hidden’ amongst the others, which the author invites readers to discover. Adults will find these stories heartwarming and children will like the ‘happy endings’ and trying to spot which stories are ‘made up.’ A book with stories that appeal to the heart and illustrations that appeal to the eye, whatever your age and whether or not you have pets of your own.

    Last Keeper's Lighthouse Stories
    Tony Beddard

    The very nature of lighthouses captures the imagination. Being marooned on different lighthouses throughout my career has produced many memorable incidents and humorous stories. Diverse locations like Lundy, Alderney, Wolf, Sark, all have something unique to offer. Rock tower lighthouses, land lights or island lighthouses, each one is different. Cooped up on a tower and being pounded by heavy seas is not only exhilarating, but frightening as well. Fog signals can play a huge part in a good duty period and the relief for going ashore is always welcomed. The characters are what makes this book such a good read. It gets your chuckle chops in overdrive, especially at some of the antics on the lights. A month’s duty is filled with incidents and the constant change in weather conditions has an effect on everything that you do. These stories will show how hardship goes hand in glove with humour whilst aboard.
