It features a collection of short stories based on real life, real people events. Some of them hilarious, some bemusing and a few simply baffling. The book starts with a collection of miscellaneous tales. Then moves on to stories that evolved around Paul's time as a partner in a recording studio in South London and features some of the bizarre characters he encountered. The final part of the book introduces a persona called Colonel Rage. Outrageous 'Colonel Rage' is a retired British Army Colonel. He has strong views on a variety of subjects from Obesity and Evolution to Queues. All in all 'Funny' is meant to be what it says on the tin 'Funny'. A perfect book to lift your spirits, or keep you company on a journey.Forget our mad world for a while and "Enter the even Crazier World of Funny"

A Line to the Sea contains the reflections of Philip Burns on his life, his successes and failures as a teacher, poet, sea fisherman, operatic librettist, and husband. As a boy he discovered a flair for using words, enthusiasm for them, a distrust of religion, and no wish to be sociable.In this intensely personal final novel, Paul weaves a tale in three parts which contains many echoes of hisown life.

Green Belt is a story about the people who live in that protected area around London which helps to prevent urban sprawl and gives the illusion of a rural countryside. Paul weaves a tale of crime, confusion and courtship as James, a young clergyman, attempts to woo Marie-Helene, a reluctant Swiss language student. Eventually we begin to realise that, despite their rural pretensions, the motives and morals of those living in the Green Belt are little different from those of people living in the neighbouring city.

Short stories set in Cambridge where Peter Copley is attempting to study English, however his wife's uncle is convinced that his education needs to cover a much wider curriculum. Unfortunately Uncle Raymond is prone to enthusiasms which prove a problem for an impressionable young man.

A book of religious reflections which asks how we approach the other six days of the week, after the Eucharist. Do we behave like our hands with a hand-warmer: briefly warmed and then expected to remain hot for the whole week? The author's answer is neatly presented in five meditative chapters - Prayer, Stability, Almsgiving, Light and Morality - as he sets out the sort of life that he believes we should lead during the rest of the week, keeping alive the warmth of the Eucharist.

A story of recovery and reconciliation. Michael Jeffries, now living in a small Midlands town, was injured in an ambush as a young officer in Cyprus during the EOKA Troubles of the late 1950s. The shock of that event proves to have been delayed, preventing him returning to a normal life. Eventually, by relating his story to a strange acquaintance, Michael manages to move onto a path of recovery and achieve reconciliation with the people and events of his past.
