Zombies Invasion Britain

Zombies Invasion Britain

It is the year 2250 and Stephen Williams finds himself in a Great Britain overrun by zombies and whose green belt land has all been concreted over. He is devoid of nearly all hope until he meets a nine-year-old girl called Julie Mayberry and together they try to survive in a land where their fellow humans are all but extinct. It is a struggle to the death against the zombies whose relentless pursuit of Stephen and Julie leads them both to learn of the final hypocrisy that lies beneath the betrayal of their country.

You’re in the Navy Now

When Alan Higgins joined the Royal Navy at the outbreak of World War II in 1939, he was not yet sixteen years old. His youth did not save him from the horrors of war, and he went on to survive the sinking of his ship, HMS Edinburgh, in the Barents Sea, and the bombing of a station in Russia before more peaceful spells in North America and Bermuda. Much of Alan’s war took place in the Mediterranean, and he found himself in the thick of it at the battle of Anzio, surviving repeated bombing attacks. As a member of the crew of one of the landing craft at the D-Day landings, he had to saw off a mate’s shattered leg with a bread knife. Yet despite the horrors and terrors, You’re in the Navy now is rich in gentle humour.

Your Background is not the Ultimate - religion

Your Background is not the Ultimate

Each and every one of us is driven by our past, present or the unseen future being (positive or negative) depending on the individual choices we make. “He who controls the past also controls the future”. However, this book enlightens our mind, refreshes our thoughts, reshapes our behaviour and empowers us to take control over our past in order to create the future we desire. As you read this book, you will discover that it is to your benefit to let go of any past hurts, resentment, bitterness and disappointment and to depend on God who is able to turn your negative situation into positive.

Yellow Fever

Yellow Fever

Russell Nash (not his real name) worked in the animal feed business in the UK for more than 20 years before being asked to move out to China to commission a feed mill in Shanghai. It was a turning point in his life. Russell was captivated by China, its culture and its women and soon realised that there was no going back to the safe, predictable life he had known before in Britain. Funny, cutting, vivid and explicit, Yellow Fever is the unexpurgated story of his first three years in China.

Wounded Rangers

Wounded Rangers

On September 11 2008, Warrant Officer Dominic Hagans of the 1st Battalion the Royal Irish Regiment became the latest casualty of the Afghan war when an improvised enemy bomb exploded under his vehicle, wrecking his legs and changing his life forever. As he embarked on the long road to rehabilitation and partial recovery, WO2 Hagans decided to record his experiences and those of some of his comrades in print. Wounded Rangers is a compilation of no-punches-pulled true stories from the front line, plus the heart-rending story of a mother whose son was critically injured on the battlefield. Harrowing and often shocking as these accounts are, the professional soldier’s determination to do his duty and his indomitable sense of humour shine through. All the proceeds from this book will go to the welfare fund of the 1st Battalion the Royal Irish Regiment, to help meet the cost of caring for their wounded and helping them to adapt and adjust to their injuries.

Wolves Within

Wolves Within

An 18-year-old’s desperate quest to find out what really happened to the mother she never knew. Throughout her life, Sathi has carried the burden of her grief and guilt over the death of her own mother while giving birth to her. But then she starts investigating – and unearths hidden documents that suggest her mother did not die in childbirth after all. This shocking discovery sends Sathi to India, the land of her forefathers, on a trail which opens up a world of intrigue she had no idea existed. What secrets are her family keeping from her? What is she to make of the charming but infuriating Zakiy, who is not quite the simple young man he claims to be? And what really happened to her beloved Amma?

This page-turner of a story from a talented young novelist is a wonderful read from start to finish.

With Gun & Gown

With Gun & Gown

Norman Friskney’s experiences as a young man were defined by two environments which could scarcely offer a greater contrast – the halls of Oxford University, where his studies were interrupted by the outbreak of the Second World War, and the battlefields of southern Italy, where he served as a young officer in the Eighth Army and, among other more sober achievements, accidentally broke Mussolini’s bed. Following his return to Oxford and subsequent graduation he embarked on a teaching life, becoming a grammar school headmaster. His accounts of his experiences over the years include encounters with Harold Wilson, Margaret Thatcher, Roy Hattersley and the poet Edmund Blunden as well as many others who have played a part in this country’s history. They are recorded with a refreshing balance of wit and gentle wisdom.

Who Am I?

Who Am I?

Who Am I?…. Peter Deacon started asking the question ‘Who am I?’ when he was a young boy. Now that he has come to terms with the truth which has been revealed to him about why we are here on Earth and what our true purpose is, he has written two books to pass on this wisdom. The purpose of this first volume, Who Am I?, is to help you to discover who you really are by enabling you to view your life from a different point of view, and from that viewpoint to learn ways to remove your problems so you can create a better life for yourself and those around you. If you really intend to change the way your life is going, you may look in these pages for a new and original perspective on the meaning of life and the true relationship between the ego, the soul and the body and how they all depend on Source, the pure energy which has created everything. You have now learned who you are and know who is in charge of your life.

Who am I Really?

Who am I Really?

Until she was seven years old, Anna Rosenburg was happy. She lived a simple life in a two-room flat with her devoted father. In Anna’s world, there was very little to worry about – until a wealthy, high-minded ‘pillar of society’ across the road decided that it really wasn’t right for a little girl to be brought up by a poor father on his own. Telling Anna that they were going for a drive in the country, she took her away to live in a children’s home. The devastation of this betrayal and the loss of regular contact with her father destroyed Anna’s young world. Her unhappiness was compounded by her confusion over her own identity. What did her black skin mean? Why wasn’t it the same colour as her father’s? Where did she come from? Who was she really?

White Velvet Boxes

White Velvet Boxes

Christine Cope sees all her special memories of life as occupying rows of white velvet boxes at the back of her mind. The boxes, each tied delicately with coloured ribbon, contain happiness and sadness, humour and conflict, pleasure and pain. When she wants to remember an episode from her past, she just pulls on the ribbon. Christine believes that it’s how you deal with each memory, pleasant or painful, that determines how it will appear the next time you open it. This book is about the things Christine has saved in her boxes over the years – precious memories of childhood adventures, seaside holidays, valued friendships, secret corners in summer gardens, playground battles, her beloved dogs and her children and grandchildren. Together they have given her an insight and a wisdom which are well worth sharing with others.
