In the 1980s, rugby union was still an amateur sport. But if you were talented, you could make a name for yourself in this predominantly middle-class world. Richard Ellis, a working-class lad, defies the odds and plays for a top London club. His rugby prowess attracts the attention of England selectors and a string of attractive women.
This tough 24-year-old PE teacher is on the verge of an England cap. It could be a huge boost for his career and solidify his stormy relationship with Caroline. But a devastating injury shatters his dreams. To make matters worse, Caroline leaves him for someone else.
Desperate, Richard accepts an offer to head North and try rugby league. This brutal form of the game, played in gritty industrial towns, is a world away from the polished pitches of London. The transition is a shock, but things brighten when he meets Annie, the chairman’s daughter.
Just as life seems to be falling into place, his old injury resurfaces. Now, both his rugby career and his new love are in jeopardy.

As he approached the door of the riad in the dimly lit alleyway, he sensed a dark shadow from behind. He heard a voice say, ‘Open up, Heesham, quickly please!’
Oliver Bradshaw, the central character of In the Shadow of the Muezzin, has long been fascinated by the magic and mystery of Marrakech, the Red City. Pervading his Marrakech home, Riad Star, are the wails of the muezzins calling the faithful to prayer at regular intervals. He alternates his evening meals between the Riad and a nearby French restaurant. Each serves excellent Moroccan food and wine, with impeccable service. Marrakech is in itself a feast for the senses, and Oliver’s senses are always fully enriched, without question.
It is in the French restaurant that he receives an anonymous note via the barman from an individual who becomes a man of mystery. Oliver himself can be a man of mystery, preferring to be incognito. On occasion, he can adopt a disguise, wandering through the alleyways, past the souks and bazaars of Marrakech, and into the magical bustling atmosphere of the famous square of Djemaa el-Fna. One day, unexpectedly, a beautiful woman enters his life, and he takes on the role of a perfect gentleman, of course. For Oliver, his daily adventures and nightly escapades in Marrakech are never dull, and never far from the shadow of the muezzin.

Ria is nineteen when she joins a peaceful protest at her university – naïve, disconnected from the realities of her country, and unaware of the price others have already paid for defiance. But the world she thought she knew unravels piece by piece. Taken alongside her mother and sister, she is thrown into the hands of a mercenary with a vendetta, one who believes Ria’s family is tied to the very forces she seeks to destroy.

Strangers tell her what she has survived, but the truth is more than just lost memories – it is something darker, something that refuses to stay forgotten. And when the past finally catches up with her, Ria will be forced to make an impossible choice: to seek justice in a world that offers none, or to let go before it consumes her.
The Slaying of Souls is a gripping and emotionally charged story of survival, identity, and the unseen forces that shape us – one wound, one loss, one vanished piece at a time.

Not all altars are equal; some surpass others in power. When a priest dedicates an altar to God, it becomes immensely powerful, as King Solomon demonstrated in his time (1 Kings 8:23-53).
The altar holds dominion over the stars. By receiving a star, a person gains a unique spirit that shapes their identity. The altar of Samuel transferred the star of leadership from Saul to David through sacrifice (1 Samuel 16:13). Losing one’s star leaves a person spiritually empty, for it is the spirit that defines who we are.
With clarity and precision, the author explores the significance of prayer, fasting, sacrifice, the star, the spirit, and the meanings of dreams and visions. This book provides valuable insights for spiritual growth.
Intended for all readers, it offers foundational wisdom for beginners while also containing deeper insights for those more spiritually advanced.

How the Pendulum Swings: A Diary of Madness
A collection of memories, the thoughts that keep you awake at night. The sights and sounds that ensnare your senses, dragging you deeper into the madness – whatever you choose to call it, this is Carrie’s story, my story. For years these stories dug their claws into me, their weight heavy on my heart. The pieces and parts unpolished, hiding in journals and notebooks. It is time to finally tell her story.
This story begins by unravelling the past, trying to make sense of events that a once young mind couldn’t fully grasp. The harsh events and moments that formed and moulded the mind of a woman unleashed upon the world. A woman unsure of herself, unsure of the true depths of her resilience and power- this is the story of growth and love, of love and loss. Of being lost and finding oneself in the shadows of reality.
We follow Carrie and her story from the child whose core sense of self was fragmented and inevitably lost, to the woman perpetually on the run, and to every beautiful moment and lesson that life had to offer in between.

Since 2016, when I started writing poetry about my journey with Dementia, I have come to realise that poetry is not only extremely cathartic, but truly like ‘chicken soup for the soul’. Poetry allows us to connect with the world around us and express ourselves in a unique way that can be both soothing and healing.
My journey with Dementia from start to finish, was full of such mixed emotions, tears and laughter, and I soon realised the importance of a sense of humour! Whilst written from a personal perspective, I hope that anyone who has been affected by dementia, whether as a loved one, friend or carer will be able to identify in some way with each poem.
The path for all concerned when a loved one is diagnosed with this devastating disease, is extremely difficult and challenging. In many cases, as I experienced firsthand, losing your loved one, even though the person is still here, can be the hardest part – but please know if you are reading this that you are not alone!
