They say it was suicide, but Nicole knows damn well she didn't kill herself and won't take this lying down.16-year-old Nicole, high school drama queen (onstage and off), dies and finds herself on Substation Fifteen, an afterlife campus for teenage suicides. She can't, for the life of her, remember how she died, but she's sure it wasn't by her own hand. In thirty days Nicole faces the all-important Evaluation. If she can't piece together the mystery of what actually killed her she won't be moving on. Her only route to uncovering the truth is a fact-finding trip to Earth, beginning at her own funeral, where the facts she finds may be harder to piece together and accept than death itself.Our journey unfolds simultaneously "up there" in Substation Fifteen and in Northern California, told by three, first-person teenage narrators: Nicole's best friend, Isabel, a germaphobic young witch with undeniable gifts; Nicole's romantic rival, Cassie, a tough girl hiding heartbreaking vulnerability; and Nicole "Dead Girl" herself, whose adoring single dad raised her on abundant love and one really big lie. This tale of hope and redemption will appeal to fans of afterlife storylines like 13 Reasons Why, If He Had Been With Me, and The Lovely Bones.

The book Principles of Geology by Charles Lyell is widely considered one of the most influential scientific books of the 19th century. First published in 1830, it presents a detailed overview of the geological processes that have shaped the Earth, and argues for a gradual, uniformitarian explanation of geological phenomena, as opposed to the catastrophism that was popular at the time.Lyell's work was groundbreaking in its insistence on the importance of studying the present-day processes that shape the Earth in order to understand the past. He argued that the Earth's geological features were the result of slow, continuous changes that had been occurring for millions of years - a view that challenged the prevailing belief in sudden and catastrophic events like floods and earthquakes.Principles of Geology went through numerous editions and was widely read by scientists and laypeople alike. Its influence can be seen in the work of other important scientific figures, including Charles Darwin, who cited Lyell's ideas as a key influence on his theory of evolution.

This is a fantasy time travel adventure in England superimposed over serious issues relating to development of the English language and the climate change emergency.A family of four (two adults and pair of adopted twins) find themselves transported back to the 6th Century when groups of immigrants from northern Europe are starting to colonise a countryside which is replete with decaying remains of Roman military and civilian infrastructure.As a result of the group's various adventures, the two parents discover both children are themselves time travellers from the Saxon period, a discovery which adds a further dimension to the story.Ultimately, the family are able to return to the 21st century but with questions remaining over the merits of such a switch.After concluding a career in finance, author Nigel Cole established and operated a successful in-bound travel company for thirteen years. Subsequently, he leveraged a lifelong interest in the Roman period and increasingly that of the Saxons to form the basis of A Trip Into Saxon Times. Here he uses a fantasy, time travel adventure to illustrate the transition from Roman to Saxon culture in England whilst highlighting linguistic developments and the impact of the Industrial Revolution on climate change through to present day.Nigel has also published an 800-page travel guide entitled Visitors' Guide to Scotland (ISBN 9781916133204)
