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.

During the 1960s, Central and Southern Africa were in turmoil, marked by civil wars, racial tensions, Rhodesia’s UDI, apartheid in South Africa, and tribal conflicts. Despite the instability, my husband and I moved to Zambia, where we lived for three years. On our arrival in 1967, Zambia had been independent from British Colonial rule for nearly three years and was reasonably stable compared to some of its neighbours.
With no mobile phones or emails, our only means of communication with family back home was through handwritten letters. Many of these letters, carefully kept by my mother, form the heart of this book. They capture the details of our daily lives, working environments, and vibrant social circles, as well as the incredible places we visited across Zambia and its neighbouring countries.
While living there, we witnessed a nation facing immense challenges yet striving to forge its own identity. Still carrying many hallmarks of British colonial influence, Zambia was undergoing a slow but determined transformation into an independent country. Through these letters, this book offers a personal and historical glimpse into a pivotal time in Zambia’s journey.

One Foot in the Grave, the Other on the Treadmill: Reflections from Over the Hill
Unflinchingly honest, this collection of anecdotes treats the challenges of aging with clarity and wit. Here, the losses are diluted with laughter, the shiver gives way to a shrug, the OMG to an LOL. Readers weary of the “how to” books that promise to reverse the aging process will welcome the dark humor of a self-described narcissist preoccupied with her mortality. From fears of dementia to hearing loss, cosmetic procedures to breast cancer, joint replacement and heart surgery, the octogenarian author mines the comic potential of her humbling experience of the later years. The witty and sometimes poignant essays of this collection may not silence the ticking of the clock or slow the falling sand of the hourglass, but for readers from middle age and beyond, they are bound to resonate.
