We have met many mischievous young bucks since the Riddlington series began with Riddlington himself. Now we meet the really old mischievous bucks.
Leading this pack is Olpop, Riddlington’s own father, who has been reminiscing, along with his three, even idler old codger companions, about their own, long-ago wild pursuits that, more often than not, bordered on precarious, let alone probably illegal, activities after witnessing the carrying-ons with his millions of offspring. It struck a chord.
He wanted in…but…
He needed a vulnerable sucker to make it happen.
He found one.
…. Bratt…
He needed a ‘lackey’ to do his bidding and arrange stuff.
He found one.
…. Bratt….
That was enough to start with. Any other stuff would automatically follow, he reasoned. After a few messy starts, and that was in the very first start, Bratt was close to telling him where he could get ‘stuff’ stuffed…but of course he didn’t.
Anyhoo, long and short, it all morphed into a battle of wits. Olpop, of course, was oblivious to any misdemeanours on his part, and apprentice Bratt learnt to take deep breaths.
Were there any winners?
You betcha!
Were there any losers?
You betcha!
Was anyone offended?
Probably.

Trapped in a cycle,
Repeating the same behaviours,
Over and over and over again,
Like Newton’s Cradle,
Who controls the motion?
The answers are inside,
Closer than you think,
Open up and explore,
The unknown isn’t as scary
As people believe,
If the answers are close,
Then why is it so hard?
To break this cycle,
One must believe,
In the light at the end of the tunnel,
I am no guide,
No plan to follow,
One’s path is truly their own,
A direction will appear,
Given time and much reflection.

These poems come from the places I used to love and hate—from my bedroom to schoolyards to my broken home and bleeding heart. I wrote Broken Window Pain with a shard of glass in one hand and a prayer in the other. This book isn’t about perfect poems. It’s about survival. It’s about telling the truth when your voice shakes. It’s for the kid who learnt to laugh through trials, cover bruises from being bullied and wipe tears away after crying at night. It’s for anyone who’s ever patched their life together through dreams of better times.
My vignettes and poetry are messy, raw, and full of heart. Some pages weep. Others sigh. A few still hope. But every experience is mine, and maybe, just maybe, some of them are yours too.
If you’ve ever felt like a stained window, cracked but still catching light—this book is for you.

The villagers think Blackwood Manor is haunted. They’re not far off.
Isaac has been inside for decades. Alone. He’s neither dead nor alive—just stuck. Watching the seasons change. Waiting for nothing.
Then Elizabeth shows up. She’s running from something. She doesn’t belong there. She doesn’t know what she’s walked into.
She can’t see him. But she hears his music at night. She feels something watching. And slowly, without meaning to, she starts to care about whatever it is that lives in the dark.
Some things aren’t meant to be disturbed. Some are just waiting to be found.

The body of Christ is in a desperate place, needing to experience and manifest the power of God. It is only the light of God that can shine on us and through us to deal with the darkness of this hour on Earth. We are in the season of the end-time church, needing to be the vessels of God’s glory on Earth.
When we look at what happened to Paul to bring about the transformation in his life, we see that he was baptised by the light of God. I believe we, as His church, are in a place where He will supernaturally baptise us with His light to carry and manifest the power of the end-time church.
In this book, I look at what caused us to become a lukewarm church and what we need to be. This book is a wake-up call and equipment for the end-time church. A large part of the church of Jesus Christ has fallen into a lukewarm state. God is calling His remnant back to become His power and presence during the difficult times on Earth.

What if the path to prosperity lay not in accumulation, but in renunciation?
In The Economics of Renunciation, Augendra Bhukuth offers a bold reimagining of economic life through the lens of Vedic philosophy. Drawing on the Purusharthas—kama, artha, dharma, and moksha—this book explores how ancient Indian thought can illuminate contemporary debates on sustainability, inequality, and ethical development.
Far from being a nostalgic return to tradition, Bhukuth’s work engages critically with Western economic models, proposing a pluralist framework rooted in karma, dharma, and the cyclical nature of time. Through a nuanced analysis of the Varna system, the law of karma, and the principles of daan and seva, he argues for an economy that values selfless action, spiritual growth, and ecological balance.
This is not just a book about economics—it is a philosophical inquiry into the conditions of human flourishing. Whether you are a scholar, practitioner, or seeker, The Economics of Renunciation invites you to rethink the foundations of value, responsibility, and collective well-being.
A timely and transformative contribution, this work challenges us to imagine a future where renunciation is not retreat, but renewal.

A merry blend of humorous memories from the seventies headmaster at the heart of a school.
