- The Delicious Mediterranean Diet: How to Stay Eating Healthy on a Budget -
About The Delicious Mediterranean Diet: How to Stay Eating Healthy on a Budget:Do you ever feel like eating right and losing weight is constant struggle? Are you interested in losing weight, but unwilling to starve yourself or give up your favorite foods? Is it time to stop feeling ashamed or guilty about food? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’ve come to the right place. This book will introduce you to the world of Mediterranean cuisine, and help you access the health benefits that Mediterranean natives have been enjoying for hundreds of years. Even better, it will do so without a large financial outlay, ensuring that the Mediterranean diet is approachable even for eaters on a tight budget.
Spanish paella, Italian lasagna, Greek gyros, and French desserts—does this sound like your typical diet fare? Probably not, because the Mediterranean diet is not your typical diet. Instead of depriving yourself, you’ll enjoy fresh, wholesome ingredients and savor sensible servings of your favorite Mediterranean desserts, including tiramisu, sorbet, baklava, and more! You’ll learn how to cook foods that are good for your waistline and for your wallet.
The Mediterranean diet operates under a few simple principles: enjoy cooking and eating delicious, wholesome food, spend more time being lightly active, and spend time more time sharing food with your friends and family. Nowhere is the Mediterranean diet about starving yourself or depriving yourself of what your body wants (and needs). Instead, you’ll learn how to control your portion size, prepare food that’s delicious and nutritious, and incorporate easy but life-changing habits into your daily routine.
This book is laid out to help you start making changes today. We’ll begin with the principles behind this book and suggestions for incorporating them into your life starting right now. Then, we’ll explore the ingredients of the Mediterranean and find ways to get the most out of your budget. Finally, we’ll wrap up with a four-week meal plan designed to ease you into the Mediterranean diet one day at a time. After one month, you’ll feel healthier, happier, and more at peace with food—all without spending a fortune. Now that’s what I’d call a good diet.Learn more about the author, buy the book, or follow them on social media:

- The 14 Day Cleaning Course: How To Keep Your Home Clean, Organized And Spotless With Just 20 Minutes A Day! (Organizational Course: How To Organize, Declutter, … Keep Your Home Spotless In Only 14 Days!) -
About The 14 Day Cleaning Course: How To Keep Your Home Clean, Organized And Spotless With Just 20 Minutes A Day! (Organizational Course: How To Organize, Declutter, … Keep Your Home Spotless In Only 14 Days!):Chapter 1 – Consider the Battlefield
Most people allot a specific day for housecleaning. During this day of the week, you’ll find these homeowners finishing up all the pending tasks such as the pyramid of dishes in the sink, pile of unfolded clothes, books strewn about the room and more. In most cases, the tasks can take up more than a half a day – a full day even, depending on how sloppy you’ve been for the past week.
However, what if you think you’re told that this doesn’t have to be the case? An average-traffic house doesn’t need extensive cleaning once a week – if you plan your housework’s correctly! To do this, you have to consider the battlefield and list down immediate and not-so-immediate cleaning necessities.Learn more about the author, buy the book, or follow them on social media:

- The Bliss Of Minimalism -
About The Bliss Of Minimalism:Minimalists seem to have figured out something that the rest of society hasn’t and it’s time we all take notice. Over the years many people’s lives have just been a combination of material things, stress and debt which doesn’t get anyone closer to what we all really want in life. Being happy is a choice but often seems like a distant reality in the fog of modern day lifestyles of accumulating more material possessions.
Come inside and I can show you how to make some simple changes to get you on the path of a minimalist lifestyle. Minimalism doesn’t have to be about throwing all of your possessions in the garbage and living in an empty and quiet house. It is about being more organized, living simpler, and ultimately living a happier life. We are all given a short time on this planet so why not make the best of it by removing all the things that aren’t that necessary for you to be happy. So let’s switch your mindset to think simpler and experience the bliss of minimalism.Learn more about the author, buy the book, or follow them on social media:

- Chakras: Exploring Chakras and Discovering Holistic Wellness-The Practical Approach to Chakras for Personal Development by Marta Tuchowska -
About Chakras: Exploring Chakras and Discovering Holistic Wellness-The Practical Approach to Chakras for Personal Development by Marta Tuchowska:
Are You Seeking Balance?
Would You Like To Learn More About Yourself?
Are You Interested In Holistic Therapies?
Have you ever noticed that when you feel good, you attract wonderful relationships, circumstances, and your body is full of energy?
Do you feel like changing something in your life or giving it more meaning?
If my book attracted your attention and you are reading this description, it means that you are also wondering:
-What is this current chakra craze all about? Is it just a recitation of colors and symbols, or is it about developing true spirituality? What is spirituality? How do I apply this chakra knowledge into a real, modern, 21st century fast-paced life?Spirituality is about understanding your true nature, developing empathy, and helping others.
It’s about realizing how one imbalance can lead to another and the actions you can take to develop a new, happier and healthier version of yourself.
I have written this book to help you brainstorm on a totally holistic level.
This is not another “chakra recitation” book. It is designed to offer you a few moments of reflection and spiritual meditation. I would like you to take action and make a decision to be yourself. You can do this by accepting your weak points, but at the same time, work on them and be gentle to yourself and others.
We are talking about something untouchable here. This is why this description is different than most. How can I say ‘transform your chakras today’? There is no time, no rules, and no proven steps or strategies. Everyone is different with their unique and amazing energy.
Feel it. Begin to love it!
If you are ready and want to start this journey, my book can be the beginning to a new, more conscious and self-aware chapter in your life.
Just like Reiki affirmations say, everyone would like to be:
-free from worry
-free from anger
-humble, honest, and compassionate about themselves and othersAt the same time, we are all fragile human beings. We judge and we are judged by others.
Like I said, since everyone is different, this book will be different to every one of you; there will be many different interpretations.
My book can help guide you in your personal development utilizing chakra philosophy and knowledge. Thanks to understanding chakras, you will realize how one imbalance can lead to another, and you will be able to stop the vicious circle.
It is my intention as an author and holistic health practitioner to use my book as a way to help you discover your strengths, weaknesses, and give you the tools to CONTROL HOW YOU FEEL both physically, mentally, and emotionally. I have pictured everything in a simple and attainable way that is perfect for a modern 21st century individual.Learn more about the author, buy the book, or follow them on social media:

”FALL IN LOVE WITH WELLNESS = RESTORE BALANCE AND ZEST FOR LIFE!”Marta is a certified Massage Therapist and a Wellness Coach. Her passion for wellness also led her to study Holistic Nutrition, Aroma Therapy, Herbal Remedies and Homeopathy. She believes that Natural Therapies are a life-long study and she never stops investigating.
”GLOBAL HOLISTIC WELLNESS COACHING FOR MODERN PEOPLE…”
After getting started on massage, she realized that it’s not only about manual therapy. She wanted to expand her services and make them more holistic. She became fascinated with the power of the mind after following coaches like Tony Robbins. Even though she loves being a massage therapist she decided to combine it with coaching and as a result, her very own Holistic Wellness coaching for modern people was born.
”NATURAL THERAPY COACHING FOR BODY AND MIND BALANCE…”
Another ambition that Marta had was to create a global holistic health project- this is why she got involved in writing. She knew that her books could be the best tool to set up her global holistic wellness project so she could spread wellness all over the globe, not only in Barcelona area where she currently lives. Marta is now a full-time author dedicated to wellness, health, motivation and holistic therapy and healing.
CREATE YOUR HOLISTIC WELLNESS SPA AT HOME…WELLNESS FOR EVERYONE!
Marta is the author of the series: Create Your Holistic Wellness Spa At Home and other books dedicated to Wellness, Nutrition and Relaxation. She is also an avid blogger and is addicted to social media.
INTERNATIONAL SPIRIT…
Other passions of hers include languages, travelling, reading and linguistics. She holds a BA degree in English Philology, translation, linguistics and foreign languages. She left her native Poland so as to live and explore other countries and look for inspiration for life when she was only 20! She has finally (but perhaps temporarily, as in the end, everything is temporary!) settled down near Barcelona, in the most beautiful autonomous province of Spain- Catalonia. Marta has also lived in the United Kingdom and in Italy.
WHY NATURAL…?
Marta was introduced to natural therapies only as a little girl and every day she is grateful for the solutions that natural medicine has provided her with. The reason is very simple: When she was five years old, she suffered from severe attacks of uveitis and nearly lost her eyesight. Chemical medical treatments only made her poor, weak organism out of balance and nothing seemed to work. The doctors at that time did not know how to cure uveitis. Luckily, her parents searched for other solutions and they found a medical doctor who also specialized in naturopathy. It was thanks to homeopathy, phytotherapy and balanced nutrition that uveitis attacks were defeated and her eyesight was saved. The doctor that saved her eyesight is now almost 100 years old and is still enjoying great health! This is why she is such a believer in natural medicine.
As a patient, Marta also believes in standard medicine and the fusion of the two worlds but she always advises people to explore the natural and holistic ways as much as possibl

- Twins of the Prophecy -
About Twins of the Prophecy:Gavin and Catrina McGregor wanted normal lives for their twin boys, Caleb and Lucas. While both have pursued their own passions in life, a cloud has hung over them from birth. It is a secret that their parents wanted to protect them from, but a prophecy from ancient days is beginning to unfold before their eyes. The prophecy speaks of a day when twin brothers from the blood line of King Callam of McGregor will be born. One will rise to greatness and embrace the light. The other will rise to greatness and embrace the dark. Worse yet, with the existence of the boys, a powerful and evil master of sorcery, Dark Master Natas, will return.
Caleb and Lucas are the heirs to King Callam. With the twins alive, Natas begins to grow stronger as the twins grow older.
On one fateful night, Gavin and Catrina realize that they can no longer protect the boys from their destiny. The Sorcerer’s of dark magic, The Dark order of the Draith, have found them and the time has come to reveal the secrets they have kept. When Caleb and Lucas’ mother is captured by an agent of the Draith, Gavin and his boys must go into the world they left behind to rescue her, now placing the boys on the path to fulfilling the prophecy they worked so hard to keep them from having to follow.
For Caleb and Lucas, the world of Carsonia is like something straight from a fantasy novel. Here they discover warring factions of humans, goblins, elves, and more. Nothing is as it seems and everyone has an agenda… and each agenda seems to include the boys. With agendas and secrets around every corner, the cozy lives that Caleb and Lucas once knew are coming to an end. Nothing is as it seems and danger waits for them with each step. To get out of here alive, they must rely on their only shred of hope… their loyalty to each other.
The Dark Master Natas must have the blood of the boys to break free of the spell that has kept him bound for 3,000 years. The warlord Hathian, seeks to destroy the boys and claim Carsonia for himself. The Knights of Liberty seek to find the boys and do whatever is in their power to prevent them from fulfilling the dark promise of the prophecy. And Gavin fights to rescue his family and use one last family secret to end this insanity, once and for all.
But you can’t hide from destiny. Caleb and Lucas have been called. Events conspire to trap them in Carsonia and force them to play out their roles in the final days of Carsonia.
Soon the fates of two worlds will rest in the hands of these two young boys… The Twins of the Prophecy.
As long as both live, neither world will have peace.

- Once I was a Teenager: Growing up in the 50s and 60s in Australia and beyond by Jonquil Graham -
About Once I was a Teenager: Growing up in the 50s and 60s in Australia and beyond by Jonquil Graham:
There has never been a decade like the 60s. It was exhilarating – or was it? The story of a teenager growing up in that era and what it felt like: the music (including Beatlemania), fashions (hot pants, mini skirts), dating, drive-ins, movies, parental warnings, 21st birthdays (key to the door), surfing, parties, food (fatty Sunday roasts), schools, Vietnam protests, travel (doing the hippie travel, hitch-hiking), and much much more. A nostalgic read with lots of laughs.

- Cliches: A Dictionary of Received Ideas by Lucy R. Fisher -
About Cliches: A Dictionary of Received Ideas by Lucy R. Fisher:People love to repeat “received ideas” – they are What Everybody Knows, or sometimes just What To Say About a particular subject. This is a collection of clichéd ideas, sayings, “facts” and urban legends that I have collected over the past 30 years. The truth as far as I can establish it is in brackets. (If not, try turning everything on its head.) For example, etiquette is merely a matter of knowing which knife and fork to use, you should just ignore bullies, and the Arabs have 100 words for camel. Also included are some questionable quotes and untrustworthy etymology. Was America called after an Italian map-maker? Does OK stand for “orl korekt”?

- Modern Day Japanese Haiku, by Denise Morgan -
About Modern Day Japanese Haiku, by Denise Morgan:Traditional Japanese Haiku, pronounced, high-koo, is a short poem of 17 syllables in 3 lines of 5, 7, 5, usually inspired by the observation of the natural world. However, in this poetry book, Modern Day Japanese Haiku has kept close to the essence and structure of a traditional haiku and, of the 173 here, some are comical, sensual, daring, silly… a few mind blowing. Just a book of little gems!

- Manizer -
About Manizer:I’m Madeleine Jefferson-Brandt. There are a few important things to know about me. Firstly, never call me Maddy. Secondly, I have two fathers and I sprung from a surrogate mother. I have a crazy sister and a deaf cat, too. Don’t diss my family. Thirdly – I took an online quiz to see which Star Trek character I most resemble. Turns out I have the feminine version of Commander Riker’s womanizing personality – the capacity to be a playa. Who knew? So, what’s a nice, fairly pedestrian girl like me supposed to do? Become a Manizer, of course. Only, with Jude Brenner, I’m not sure I manized or was womanized – not that it matters one way or the other. We navigated a few tricky areas, like he exhibited some rather territorial tendencies towards me, among a few other minor obstacles. Oh, and I kinda like him. A lot.

About Perp Bride:I’m Alcie Giordano. I’m the purple-haired, tattooed stand-in mother to my orphaned niece and nephew. I juggle my job as a nurse practitioner, raising my young charges, fending off my mother’s increasingly smothering interference, and a new, intense relationship with the cop who arrested me at my wedding reception. I’ve a healthy fear of commitment, as I’d found my newly-wedded husband screwing another woman just minutes before our first dance ten years ago. But this hasn’t stopped Luca Romano from pursuing me, and it certainly hasn’t stopped me from combining forces with him as we raise our three charges, tangoing our way through this crazy little thing called life.

Goodreads Profile PageAuthor Bio:
I won’t bore you too much with my biography. Instead I’ll let you know why I decided to share my experiences of how I went from being a socially inept loner for over ten years, to now having long-term, passionate and meaningful relationships.I was the “quiet kid” for over ten years.
I was just lucky enough to have one extremely outgoing best friend in every city I moved to who became my partner-in-crime. I was often overly dependent on this friend to be noticed by others or even gain some more varied social experiences. When he or she wasn’t around, it was always difficult for me to stand on my own. I was the type who found it challenging to express myself unless the right person got my “better” traits out of me. I also preferred alone time more often than being around too many people, only because it felt more comfortable and I felt less criticism and judgement that way.
I had challenges building friendships or relationships on my own overtime. I didn’t know how to initiate or continue conversations that could develop to something more, even though I desired a deep connection and was never closed off to it. I was just easily turned off, hurt by and anxious of more assertive personalities or challenging social interactions. Because I didn’t have the natural skill and personality to develop a supportive social circle during my youth, I often just reverted to simply being silent, being a spectator and often times a loner. Instead of being out with friends, I spent most of my time watching movies and gaming online, because that was the only world I had felt some acceptance, confidence and comfort in. These were definitely lonely years of my youth that I wish I had made the best out of.
Because I felt like I was missing out on so many experiences, I spent several years reading books and taking classes on developing communication skills, in an effort to improve my abilities in building meaningful and long-lasting friendships. However… nothing I learned seemed to effectively manifest itself into my life. All I learned were generic, surface-level social skills that never lead to anything profound except some small talks here and there, and having enough fake charisma to land the occasional retail job. I hated my life! I was depressed, lacked self-esteem, was full of doubt and had no hope that my life would get better. I had bigger dreams, and a hidden personality which I had difficulty expressing for some reason. I wondered… How come no amount of psychological books, personality books, tests, communication skills classes or workshops worked to help me? Was I just dumb or slow? I was still having a hard time coming up with what to say or do. I still had difficulties attracting the ideal life, friends and opportunities I wanted. I even had difficulties emotionally connecting to my own family as I grew older. I felt like something was wrong and missing. I couldn’t find the answer for several years, and instead it was spent video gaming online with other distant players, since that was the only place I could somehow express myself and catch a glimpse of my better traits.
However, something clicked in 2010 when I was exposed to a certain community of guys who were practicing skills on dating and how to pick up women.
Of course, I was naturally inclined to angrily respond to the obvious red flags of just that concept alone. Some of the stuff they were learning was downright controversial in the mainstream social sphere. But, because of my desperate situation at the time, I kept my mind open to the specific knowledge these guys were learning to develop their own social confidence. I studied their material further, and discovered a few key things I could at least apply to myself in the areas of conversation, self-development, confidence and relationship building.
And no, I didn’t use the knowledge to pick up women. Or maybe. That’s another story though.
I dug deeper to understand the foundational concepts and techniques which were actually well designed for those with social anxiety, introverted traits and low confidence. I went out and practiced my social skills with a completely different perspective.
Life is of course not so simple. I crashed and burned for three straight years before I was able to build up my true core confidence. I completely embarrassed myself several times. I went through a spiral of emotional ups and downs, an identity crisis every few months, run-ins with the law, developed tension with my family, almost burned bridges with one best friend, and got sucked into the world of underground nightlife which made me a bit jaded about people in general. So, what gives? Did I become a bigger social failure?
Actually, here is the part where things actually clicked and all those years of theory actually internalized for me.
Even throughout the mess I got myself into, I was finally living. I wasn’t experiencing life through a fictional character anymore, it was my own. I was learning how to maneuver my own life by going through a lot more complex social situations than I had ever imagined I would find myself in. Because of the challenging situations I had to be accountable for, all of my anxieties, discomforts, and doubts about building relationships completely dissolved–out of necessity–and that was when I was able to truly open myself up to building genuine, long-lasting and meaningful friendships. I found passion, drive, openness and acceptance in my life. I really learned about human nature and while I saw some dark sides, I still developed a greater love for people than I ever have before.
With those years of trial-and-error and selective theoretical research, I wanted to share my own perspective of the simplified, specific and very effective methods that work to help people like me get OUT of their own mental prisons. All I request from you, my peers and readers, is to have an open mind, forget the social conditioning you’ve learned prior to this, drop a bit of ego, and proactively apply these ideas and methods to your life.

About The Flesh Remembers (The Lomax Chronicles) by Richard Wright:
When hack reporter Dexter Lomax investigates a series of mysterious craters forming across Northeast England, he expects to convert a well-planned hoax into international news for the weak-minded.
What he doesn’t expect is for suicidal beggars to thrust weirdly compelling video tapes into his hands, to be targeted by two opposing groups with deadly agendas, or to be in the centre of a horror that begins with the discovery of dozens of skinned corpses on the Town Moor and ends in places beyond the reach of his imagination.
Drawn on by his lethal curiosity, Dex is forced to journey further than even he had imagined possible, in pursuit of a story he might never dare write…
“When a tale has the momentum that this one does, you don’t want anything pulling you out of the story. If you’re a fan of good, old fashioned, creepy Lovecraftian horror (with just a tad of X-Files style sci-fi) you can’t go wrong with The Flesh Remembers.” – The Reader Reviews

- The Pelican Trees by A Grateful -
About The Pelican Trees by A Grateful:
When was the last time you got to embark on a great and daring adventure?
Chock full of mystery, suspense and intrigue, The Pelican Trees allows each reader to do just that, each step carefully orchestrated by a loving grandfather (already in Heaven) trying to rescue his precious granddaughter and the rest of his family from eternal condemnation.
Shocking…
Left out of her grandfather’s will for no apparent reason, Shelby McKinney mysteriously receives a post-dated letter from him a few days later, stating that he hadn’t forgotten about her after all. But if she wants her inheritance, she must find it buried six-feet beneath the sand somewhere in the state of Florida.
Exciting…
The only available clues, limited as they are, were stored in a bank safe-deposit box somewhere in the Sunshine State. Shelby is given ninety-days to locate the bank, decipher all clues and find her buried inheritance. If she doesn’t find it within the ninety-day time frame, she’ll be forced to forfeit it altogether.
Riveting…
Facing insurmountable odds, Shelby embarks on an exciting family adventure. It quickly turns dangerous when the wife and mother of three discovers she isn’t the only one searching for the buried treasure chest. Six extremely dangerous, greedy men are carefully monitoring her every move, fully determined to use any and all necessary measures to steal it from her the moment she unearths it.
Suspenseful…
Not only does this tumultuous voyage of self-discovery nearly cost Shelby her life, she is also confronted by the ever-present spirit world like never before!
Soul-lifting…
But with one-hundred and forty strangers constantly praying for her, Shelby ultimately realizes the adventure her beloved grandfather sent her on was so much more than a personal quest to find her buried inheritance.
Life-transforming…
In the end, Shelby McKinney finds so much more than that underneath the pelican trees….
Not only are the “race and forgiveness factors” palpable throughout the entire story, there are enough twists and turns to keep you guessing until the very end, making this the perfect summer read…

Connie Johnson Hambley grew up on a small dairy farm just north of New York City. On St. Patrick’s Day in 1965, an arsonist burned her family’s barn to the ground. From that experience grew the story that became “The Charity.”Hambley writes about strong women from their perspective in situations that demand the most from them. No special powers, no gadgets, no super human abilities. Just a woman caught up or embroiled in something that she has to get out of, hopefully alive.
Every bit of personal experience is used to create a story that is as believable as it is suspenseful. Using her law and investment background in ways unique, creative, but not altogether logical, Hambley has enjoyed robust professional pursuits that include writing for Bloomberg BusinessWeek and Nature Biotechnology. Experience at a major bank in Boston introduced her to clever schemes dreamed up to launder money.
Hambley writes page-turners and “The Charity” is the first in a series. Look for updates and information on facebook.com/thecharitythriller and thecharitythriller.blogspot.com.

About Dented Cans:A family secret is revealed during an ill-fated–yet hilarious–trip to Disney World.
Sixteen-year-old Hannah Sampson knows her family is not what you would call normal. Her father compulsively buys dented cans and has a particular fondness for cans without labels, which are extremely discounted because their contents are a mystery. Her mother takes countless pictures of her family and then glues them down into the pages of her scrapbooks, but does not allow anyone to look at them. Ryan, Hannah’s mischievous fourteen-year-old brother, is headed straight for the remedial track at the local community college, if he’s lucky. Ben, her eight-year-old brother, is a walking sound effects machine, who prefers to communicate with noises rather than words. While Hannah is focused on escaping her working-class Connecticut suburb, she also finds herself being tugged back home as she worries about her brother Ben.
Hannah’s parents inflict one last family vacation on the Sampson children, a trip that goes comically wrong almost from the get-go. Hannah is forced to confront her family’s past in Disney World, of all places, when an emotional argument prompts her parents to disclose a secret they have been keeping from the children for sixteen years. Ultimately, she must decide whether to leave her hometown and not look back, or to focus on helping her family.

- Flither Lass -
About Flither Lass:In a small Yorkshire coastal fishing village, 16-year-old Amy Trott makes a meagre living scouring the shoreline for flithers (limpets) to use as bait on her father’s fishing lines. It is an inhospitable world of deep crevices and rock pools, where the fast-flowing tide can so easily trap the unwary in minutes, cutting them off from safety.
Wild and unkempt, she is marginalized by the local community, which treats her as slow-witted, a virtual outcast. In those days, flither girls were seen as the lowest of the low; the hard work they did, toiling in freezing conditions, scaling cliff faces, wading out to sea and braving the treacherous currents, went largely unappreciated and undervalued. Amy braves the ferocious conditions without question or complaint; it is all she has ever known.
One stormy day, her life is torn apart when her beloved father is lost at sea. In her denial of events, she searches the sea and shore, convinced that he will return, but instead of her father she finds another refugee washed ashore. Facing a life-threatening decision, she can either leave him there to perish and save her own life, or she can try to save both herself and this mysterious man. But in doing so, she risks being cut off and suffering a cruel death in the freezing water of the North Sea. The trouble is, it is 1915 and the refugee is German …
Thus begins a story that combines family conflict, adventure, war and romance, in which we witness Amy’s rite of passage as we share her secret while she focuses all her attentions on this illicit friend. The conflict that came ashore turns a girl into a woman.

I live in an outlying Pennine village in Yorkshire, England, with a growing collection of books and my understanding wife. From an early age I wanted to write and whilst working freelance for magazines gave some satisfaction, it didn’t provide a living. For that I spent some years working for one of the major banks, which was a great way to learn about people.At university I managed to squeeze in a course about playwriting, so I suppose something was trying to tell me what to do once I grew up. For my MA Professional Writing, I specialised in screenwriting and story structure. It was a great course, and filled in a lot of knowledge gaps.
Since 2005 I have seen life from the other side of the publisher’s desk whilst being heavily involved in republishing the novels by Leo Walmsley. Oak Seer (A supernatural mystery) is the first of my published novels, followed by Flither Lass, a historical novel set in England during the First World War. My hobbies are reading, swimming, and watching lots of screen drama. Oh yes, and trying to persuade my wife to stay off eBay.

- Autumn in Carthage -
About Autumn in Carthage:99 Cent Bargain from May 27 – June 2, 2014
The nether side of passion is madness.
Nathan Price is a college professor with crippling impairments, seeking escape from his prison of necessity. One day, in a package of seventeenth-century documents from Salem Village, he stumbles across a letter by his best friend, Jamie, who had disappeared six months before. The document is dated 1692-the height of the Witch Trials. The only potential lead: a single mention of Carthage, a tiny town in the Wisconsin northern highland.
The mystery catapults Nathan from Chicago to the Wisconsin wilderness. There, he meets Alanna, heir to an astonishing Mittel-European legacy of power and sacrifice. In her, and in the gentle townsfolk of Carthage, Nathan finds the refuge for which he has long yearned. But Simon, the town elder, is driven by demons of his own, and may well be entangled in Jamie’s disappearance and that of several Carthaginians. As darkness stretches toward Alanna, Nathan may have no choice but to risk it all…
Moving from the grimness of Chicago’s South Side to the Wisconsin hinterlands to seventeenth-century Salem, this is a story of love, of sacrifice, of terrible passions-and of two wounded souls quietly reaching for the deep peace of sanctuary.

Told he’ll never make the cut to become an elite California Smokejumper, Ralph Ryan employs laser-like focus, a ‘never give up’ attitude, and the calming mental training of Eastern mysticism to earn the right to leap out of planes and fight forest fires.

When an accident results in a broken back, Ryan offers all of us a moving lesson in belief in oneself and overcoming our own bleakest days.

Goodreads Profile PageAuthor Bio:
I was born in the town of Warwick in 1981. It is a small historical town in the heart of England, and Ι was the fifth child born into a family of boys. I developed a huge interest in the written world from a young age, and with more than a little help from Roald Dahl found quite the taste for anything gross and gory. Book club at primary school only proved to increase my love of escaping into the world of a book.Whilst six years at secondary school did little to quell the romantic notion of one day sitting in my mountain cabin and smoking a celebratory cigarette as the first novel was born, somewhere within those six years the dream of becoming a writer got put on hold. The question of who actually manages to make a living out of being writer was persistently posed. Who manages to pull that off? Not many, according to most people. Perhaps it was because science was deemed a safer career path, or perhaps it was because they let me chop up hearts, but I found myself spending more and more time in the biology lab and eventually the university applications went in and the next twelve years employment were set; science, hearts, but yet sadly no more dissections. Still resting quietly in the background were those long and lingering desires to once again rediscover those old aspirations to write.
About six years ago, with the smouldering embers of a childhood dream sparking uncomfortably underfoot there was what can only be called an epiphany. Who is it that actually becomes a writer? Is it the people who live in New York? Is it the girl whose aunt works for Harper Collins or S&S, or another beast of a publishing house? It is those people, yes. But it’s not just those people. It’s the people who write.
It’s the people who actually do more than say, ‘I have a dream’. Whilst this may sound simplistic, it was the revelation I needed to sit down and type Chapter One. The first book, The Loss of Deference was no longer just a fantasy and slowly became a workable manuscript. It was then sent out in eagerness before it was properly edited and therefore it was duly returned, and along with it I collected a nice set of standard rejection letters.Six years later, having uprooted from England to settle on the southern Mediterranean shores of Cyprus, the dream to publish the book once deemed nothing more than a pipe dream is now a reality. I am still working as a part time scientist, but I am also writing daily. When I am not sat at the computer typing about the darker side of life, you will find me hiking in the mountains, drinking frappe at the beach, or talking to myself in the kitchen in the style of an American celebrity chef. Just think Ina Garten.

- Head Case -
About Head Case:As one reviewer states: “HEAD CASE is an enjoyable gem of a mystery, and more…There are drug-dealing grannies, pill-popping celebrities, Russian mob bosses, eccentric ex-Soviet chemists, feuding roommates, faltering friendships, bad bosses and a rat named Raskolnikov – so how can you not have fun?”
HEAD CASE is an exciting and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny mystery from an author whose work has been called “SIMPLY RIVETING” by The New York Times and “SHARP AND FAST-PACED” by Publisher’s Weekly. It’s like Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones meets Carl Hiaasen’s Nature Girl (with a dash of Janet Evanovich’s One for the Money) as Olivia embarks on a postmortem quest to deconstruct the remarkable events that lead up to her mind-altering death.
A comic satire of the influence of the psychopharmaceutical industry on American life, HEAD CASE takes Olivia and her estranged friend and roommate Polly Warner on a collision course involving ethically challenged executives, spotlight-hungry celebrities, third-rate mobsters and drug-dealing babushkas. A smart and savvy page-turner, HEAD CASE explores the meaning of personal relationships, emotional intelligence, and mental health while taking the reader on a synapse-stirring, neurotransmitting rollicking ride.
