"Flame and Hope: An African Adventure" is the first book of the series called "Fauna Park Tales" based on "African Adventures of Flame, Family, Furry and Feathered Friends", a GOLD MEDAL WINNER on Authonomy, supported by HarperCollins. The following is an excerpt from the HarperCollins Children's Editor Review: "A vivid and engaging world of animal characters . . . the use of cleverly animalised verbs is very creative - Dolly Cat's 'whispurr'. The exploration of interrelationships between animals is a very successful topic in the children's literature genre, and you have created some great personalities - the stubborn goat 'Plump-Grump' and the conceited 'His Handsomeness, King Rat' being some of my favourites . . ." Life takes strange turns for Flame, a puppy born in the African desert. Adopted by a free-range cattle farmer, the pup faces the challenge of proving himself to more than one of his new family. As Flame grows into a strong and brave dog, he makes friends with many loyal furry and feathered ones who help him to keep The Promise - protecting many helpless bush creatures in Fauna Park, a secret sanctuary within the boundaries of the farm. One of his feathered friends is Hope, an elusive bird with strange pink eyelids who tells stories about a tall leader and his gang of villainous poachers, ups and downs of life in the bush and Flame's ingenious plans to banish foes to the Llokodi Hills. These stories are perfect to be read before bedtime to younger children. Preteens will enjoy escaping into an imaginary world where many bush creatures always have hope that everything ends well when the sun goes down.

Sex, lust, money, power, love, infidelity, secrets, success, family and friendship. Skeletons is a story of four women who have it all but desire more. Through the ups and downs of daily life, these women strive for their goals through detrimental and self-destructive behaviors. They risk it all by playing Russian roulette with their own lives. Through casual sex, promiscuity and adultery, these women attempt to hold on to the secrets that lurk within their closets. They're conscious of their actions and behaviors and realize how harmful the risks they take are to themselves as well as their families. Because of their conduct, the women are forced to make life-altering choices. They all misuse the beauty of sex as an emotional crutch and for advantage. For them, sex is a tool, a way of self-expression, and a way to express themselves. Through sex they compensate for their short comings and/or what's missing in their lives and relationships. Temptation lures them into worlds they shouldn't enter. Their strength, values and faith are tested as they endure societal pressures as well as the chances they take along life's journey. Yet through it all, no matter what they endure, no matter what storms of life come their way, their bond and friendship remains strong. They are always there for each other, they support each other, and they pick each other up when they fall. They are sisters, and this is how they face life's challenges-together.

This collection of works will delve into the life of a relationship where both individuals are extremely artistic, intense, passionate about life, and fierce about love.

A historical pirate adventure novella, introducing the Valkyrie Series by international award-winning author and ex-champion sailor, Karen Perkins. Henry Sharpe is a recently bereaved and bankrupt English earl who travels to the Caribbean to help his uncle run his sugar plantation. When he arrives, he finds his uncle has given up on that idea to lead a more exciting life as a privateer. With no money and no prospects, Sharpe has little choice but to join him, although he is uncomfortable with the life he is living, especially when he meets the indomitable and infamous Henry Morgan and is forced to sail under his orders. He is more likely to rescue the doomed souls he meets than terrorize them, which leads to repeated conflict with his fellow privateers, especially when he takes the kidnapped Magdalena under his protection. Battling ships and the Spanish fortifications protecting Porto Belo, Sharpe finds his deadliest feuds are those aboard his own ship. Trapped in the middle of the rivalry between his uncle, Captain Richard Tarr, and Captain Edward Hornigold, Sharpe makes more enemies on deck, in particular the formidable yet sly Cheval. He is pushed to his limits as he fights for his own survival and that of the woman he loves, knowing the odds are stacked high against him.
