The Shadow of a Hindu Lotus Plus the Cradle of Heaven
As the world continues to spin, poetry lands on our doorstep, not merely as a teaching tool but as a beacon of inspiration during challenging times. In moments when life feels overwhelmingly heavy, a single poem can act as a sliver of sunshine. Accompanying this collection, three essays delve into themes that resonate deeply in today’s society, offering insights that may be absent from our current discourse. These reflections serve as a window into the mind of a restless spirit seeking connection with readers in search of stability at a pivotal moment in history, where the paths of secularism and spirituality diverge.
This book invites us to question: Should we be consumed by the digital world, or is it time to revisit an era where mindfulness and appreciation for the present were more commonplace? It is a call to step away from the screen, to breathe deeply, and to embrace the moment with greater frequency.

The Worms in Fools' Fingers
When wickedness is confronted by righteousness, it is often difficult to tell them apart. Seventeenth century Europe has been ravaged by war for almost thirty years. The people are broken, starving, and riven by disease. Out of the devastation and their desperation for somewhere to lay the blame comes the terror of the witch persecutions. Udo Beck is a soldier who has survived a battle that he vows will be his last. Learning of the fortunes being made by witch confessors, he decides where his future lies - a decision that will change his very humanity and the lives of those around him.
In the German state of Saxony, an outbreak of a horrific contagion is blamed on witchcraft, and the zealotry of an ambitious Bishop brings terror throughout the state. Disparate and memorable characters are brought together on the forested slopes of the Harz mountains where each must confront their own iniquities as their lives are seized by events and forces beyond their control.
From England, from the frozen shores of the Baltic, and from the blue limpid waters of the Caribbean, The Worms in Fools’ Fingers is an historical adventure - a tale of ambition, greed, and betrayal that destroys lives and families, and renders formerly unbreakable friendships asunder.

The Proof of God
Breaking with centuries of tradition that say that proving the existence of God is not possible, The Proof of God solves the long-vaunted issue concerning whether God exists. This book argues that ‘God is almost everywhere’ with the effect that proving his existence is very easy; indeed, for over two thousand years, the solution has been expressly set out in the Holy Bible.
Drawing insight from the Scriptures of the Christian faith, this book argues that God’s existence is demonstrated in both the Judges and Prophets of the Old Testament and the Gospel of Christ in the New Testament. By exploring the nature of ‘proof’, this book breaks new ground in an age-old question. Proof, it is argued, is a matter of God imposing Himself on us; it is He who makes the important contributions to our daily lives.
Thus, firstly, Man proves God because of his intricate design and image, and secondly, God proves God through the sending of his Son to the cross to die and resurrect for our sins. Whilst the Christian narrative is well-trodden ground, this book presents it in a light never seen before to definitively conclude arguments about God’s existence in his favour.

I Must Remember
Lawyer Mitch Galichin finds himself a fugitive after he blows the whistle on a human trafficking ring operated by the vory-v-zakone in Leningrad. His life in peril, Mitch navigates the landscapes of Eastern Canada, drawing readers into the vivid places and intriguing characters he encounters along the way.
The story oscillates between the Canadian backdrop and the stark contrasts of Siberia, where Mitch’s young daughter, Anja, and his ex-wife reside. Adding to the complexity, Mitch’s father, Sergei, endures the harsh realities of a Siberian labour camp. In this narrative, appearances are deceiving, and the truth is layered.
Haunted by the ghosts of his past, Mitch perceives threats at every turn. As time progresses, his fear gradually diminishes, giving way to a struggle to reclaim his true identity. Complicating matters, a new romance emerges, bringing with it the haunting realities of human trafficking. Faced with this dilemma, Mitch grapples with the choice to intervene or turn away.
This novel transcends the grim realities of human trafficking, balancing the gravity with moments of levity. Set against the backdrop of the Soviet Union’s disintegration, it delivers a potent social message woven into a compelling storyline. While it follows Josie Mounsey’s previous novel, The Weak Against the Strong, this gripping narrative stands on its own as a suspenseful and emotionally charged drama.
