Turn off, tune out, and drop in. It's 1968, and Stephen Sellars is struggling with his modernist crime novel, while his lead character stumbles helplessly toward a predetermined act of murder. Will Sellars be swallowed by history before he finds his voice? The answer's here on the page, read it for yourself. But the book's not about Sellars. It's about Bergman, who gets in debt and plans to get himself out by taking something that doesn't belong to him. Only, plans never work out, everybody knows that. And he ends up with blood on his hands. So it's a serious book, but Sellars is too self-conscious (and maybe too easily distracted) to go the whole hog with the mean streets bit and come up with a gripping plot. If you want something that'll leave you breathless with surprise, go ride somebody else's roller coaster. On the other hand, take a deep breath and tag along as Sellars' novel (or anti-novel) refuses to go where it's expected to go.

A 2000 year old InPOD-Distribution & Short Runan Tiger trapped in a wooden carving! Three friends, Benno, Laura and Thomas have to find the Tiger's tail to enable him to move on to the spirit world. Read what happens when they do!

Of all the enemies that our hero has shrunk away from, there was one he feared above them all. By his own admission they gave him nightmares into his dotage. It was not the French, the Spanish, the Americans or the Mexicans. It was not even the more exotic adversaries such as the Iroquois, Mahratta or Zulus. While they could all make his guts churn anxiously, the foe that really put him off his lunch were the Ashanti."You could not see them coming," he complained. "They were well armed, fought with cunning and immense savagery and above all, there were bloody thousands of the bastards."This eighth packet in the Thomas Flashman memoirs details his misadventures on the Gold Coast in Africa. It was a time when the British lion discovered that instead of being the king of the jungle, it was in fact a crumb on the lip of a far more ferocious beast. Our 'hero' is at the heart of this revelation after he is shipwrecked on that hostile shore. While waiting for passage home, he is soon embroiled in the plans of a naïve British governor who has hopelessly underestimated his foe. When he is not impersonating a missionary or chasing the local women, Flashman finds himself being trapped by enemy armies, risking execution and the worst kind of 'dismemberment, ' not to mention escaping prisons, spies, snakes, water horses (hippopotamus) and crocodiles.It is another rip-roaring Thomas Flashman adventure, which tells the true story of an extraordinary time in Africa that is now almost entirely forgotten.

How is it that our supposedly intelligent species manages to do such damage to the precious and fragile planet that we inhabit? We ought to be able to work out what is best for us. We ought to be able to think of the future. But we don't. This perverse behaviour reflects our failure to understand the human personality. We have been powerfully influenced by misguided ideas about people and about what it is that makes for human flourishing. The Earth and Us is a book about people, our impact on the natural environment and the political, economic and industrial implications - and about how we all live our lives.

The art of deception is explored and is a core theme in this book. The notion that there still is a possibility of peace, in a life that is not just black and white, but full of a variety of kinky shades, is also considered. The Jägermeister's Apprentice is really about scruffy Buddy Rioux's skirmishing odyssey. Through the eyes of Buddy Rioux, a likeable and inquisitive chap, Jonzy Wandelaar examines the concept of deception in both an innocent way and in an almost fatal way. As the novel unfurls Buddy Rioux becomes increasingly alienated. Primarily we are introduced to a disreputable character Mo and his venomous voodoo den. After that we are dragged through Morpheye's violent blue terrorist revolution. As an audience we are then challenged to think about 'why we all lie', and are thrown from a situation of childhood purity and innocent unearthing, into a hideous circumstance of disorder and discerning detection. We are subsequently flown into a colourful San Francisco fugitive settlement, and plunged into a state of horrific journalistic suppression. Together we journey into three different countries, and quite unexpectedly we end up in brutal exile in northern France. Buddy Rioux, otherwise known as 'The Jägermeister's Apprentice', can see into the darkness of the society in which we all live. Reading 'The Jägermeister's Apprentice' makes you feel like you are walking in Buddy Rioux's perilous, yet mysteriously realistic world of utter isolation.

America, 1881. The north-western frontier, where old sins cast long shadows. The consequences of Robert Rathbone's vicious betrayal of a fellow soldier, fifteen years before, resurface just as he's about to stand for the first election to be held in the new settlement of Buffalo, Wyoming. Rathbone has spent the years since leaving the army building a ruthless reputation across the American Northwest. His pursuit of power, wealth, and status are all driven by his desire to acquire the one thing that has eluded him since that earlier time, and the reason for his treachery: the love of Josie 'Sugar' Dunaway. Shadows from the past track Rathbone to Buffalo, a town where two-fisted men and street-savvy women survive by the strength of their wits, and the speed of their guns. A Dixie bounty hunter, an English nobleman's son in exile, and a cow-hand with changeable allegiances, complicate each character's pursuit of their own goal. 1881 demonstrates the power of envy and love, betrayal and revenge, set against a backdrop of the American frontier, where life is played out in the raw, and where the land and its people were transformed into an enduring country and distinct American character.

Tens of thousands of civilians of many races and the British Army, together with Chinese soldiers and many Indian soldiers were forced to flee northwards in Burma in 1942. The invasion was swift and by May almost all of the country had been overrun by the Japanese. The last airfield at Myitkyina was taken in May and now the only way out was on foot through dense jungle and over high mountain ranges to India. Many did not know how far they would have to travel and where safety could be found. Many had already travelled 100's of miles from the south in the heat before the monsoon. Captain Gribble was used to working in the jungle areas in Kachin State but he would never normally have travelled in the monsoon which started as many thousands were struggling along remote tracks in the jungle which were to become waterlogged and very dangerous. Many died of illness, exhaustion and hunger. These four stories give a vivid impression of these historic journeys. One was written by the author's mother, Josephine Chapman whose journey covered over 700 miles from Rangoon to Imphal. Records of outstanding ITA rescue missions were given to the author, together with photos taken on his fraught journey by Dr Farrant Russell. This was a huge exodus about which not much is known.

The novel is a satirical, campus novel set in the recent past. It concerns the ivory towers of academe, what it is to be Non-PC in the Eighties, and a great deal of alcohol.It is December, 1985. The year is winding gently towards its close until Dr Fergus Girvan, a Classicist at Ariel University, finds his research has been stolen by the man who is also seeking to steal his daughter. But which man is, actually, the more unscrupulous of the two? And is there hope for either of them?"You have such a lovely use of language I found myself drawn into your story on that alone. Merry murder from piles and fabulous descriptions of the knee cartilage make this a joy to read." (Kelly Van Nelson, author of The Pinstripe Prisoner, long-listed for the Yeovil Literary Prize 2017) "It's really interesting how you create a sense of modern day angst that we can all relate to but set that within an academic setting relating to historical and archaic study. It's a lovely juxtaposition between two worlds and works really well." (Karl Warburton, forthcoming novel: The Taxi-Dermist)"It is good to read such fluent and entertaining writing. ... The tone is just right for the world-weary Fergus: it is always gratifying when a new character so quickly becomes familiar. ... Comedic writing often runs the risk of being anything but; however, the dry wit deployed here is sharp (indeed, Tom Sharpean) and well directed." (Jago Piran, author of YA thriller The Devil's Own Time)
