Under Moonlight Beams and Twinkling Stars is a collection of short stories for children written by a group of women with loving souls. Following on from our book: Angels Everywhere, published in 2020, our inspiration behind this book is the awe-inspiring wonder we all feel standing beneath the stars on a moonlit night and the strong sense of connectedness to everything in the universe. We wanted to share that feeling of belonging and of being socially connected to others, with children through our stories. The benefit of having supportive relationships helps children relate to traditions and values of their family and the wider world. It encourages understanding of others and respect for diversity. This illustrated children's book of captivating stories, ideal for ages between 4 and 10, encourages your child's imagination while helping to lay a strong moral foundation. Lessons within these relaxing stories include: love, empathy, acceptance, family dynamics, teamwork and the joy of giving. Stories also encourage children to be imaginative, to develop confidence and to believe in themselves through life's ups and downs.

Wartime Tales of Homefront and Battle Fatigue'Wartime Tales: The Taming of the Snoek' is a poignant little book that splits itself between tales of combat, of battle fatigue, and of keeping the home fires burning."If you want to better understand about the horrors of war, try 'The Officer' or 'Death Day' - both by Denis Kirkham. If you want to see war from the home-side, Isabel from 'Isabel's Kitchen' might just seem like your own gran. And the true story of 'The Telegram' will make you anxious with anticipation" - DCYou may be wondering where the book's subtitle emerged from. The publisher was inspired by a wartime cookery book which mentioned snook or snoek, a nourishing but not entirely palatable fish introduced as a good form of protein into the UK's diet during the Second World War. It was known to be unpalatable so many said it needed 'taming'. The format also came from the Shakespeare play, 'The Taming of the Shrew' AND simultaneously, 'The Hunting of the Snark' poem by Lewis Carrol, although neither have influenced this volume in any other way!'Wartime Tales' is quite simply a collection of short stories and a few poems that look at various themes connected with war - violence, homecoming, loyalty, team spirit, desperation, hunger, boredom, collective spirit, unexpected events and sheer, unbounded joy.With some controversial writings and other more domestic and homely pieces, I believe these writings will really make the reader think. With award-winning cover art by 13 year old Morrigan, 'Wartime Tales' is a perfect thought-provoking read for those quiet moments, and the contributors hope you enjoy reading it.For years, short stories and novelettes have been neglected and considered to be lesser art forms in comparison with the longer novel, but there is a place for all forms of fiction. Reading on holiday, when travelling or commuting, or when waiting in a doctor's waiting room - all these situations call for something stimulating and interesting to pass the time, but also something that will not be too complex concentration-wise.Shorter stories are ideal, and we are championing their return to favour.Published by Words Are Life.

Boomshakalaking is a variant of the expression Boomshakalaka and is currently recognised as a boastful, teasingly hostile exclamation that follows a noteworthy achievement or pulling off an impressive stunt. Basically its meaning is similar to in your face!Which is why this anthology is subtitled Modern Crimes for Modern Times, because most, if not all, are not your regular crime fiction pieces - in fact some quite happily dance along the edges of multiple genres and styles, while others skew it like it is.Featuring work from Scott Talbot Evans, Edward Sheehy, Robb T. White, Robert Petyo, Brian R. Quinn, Orca Green, Robert Parker, Brandon Barrows, S. E. Bailey, Edward St. Boniface, Dan A. Cardoza, Sean Marciniak, Lynn Hesse, and Hernán Salvarezza - and even we have to admit that this is one of the most diverse sub-genre spanning anthologies we have produced so far, while still sitting under the umbrella of Crime Fiction. As with all of these anthologies, we hope you'll find something that you immediately like, as well as something that takes you out of your comfort zone - and puts you into a completely new one. In other words, in the spirit of the Murderous Ink Press motto: You never know what you like until you read it.

Mental Health issues have long been stigmatized, with those facing them pushed into the shadows, often unable to deal with the darkness they find themselves trapped in. In this collection, stories explore many types of darkness - Suicidal Ideation, Death from Suicide, Survivor's Guilt, PTSD, Chronic Pain, Chronic Illness, Depression, Death of a Loved One, Secrets, Bullying, and other forms of darkness are explored. Some related to mental health issues and some not, but all of them offer very human perspectives. As in real life, some stories have happy endings and sadly others don't. We offer these stories of darkness without judgement, but with hope and compassion. Some roads should never have to be traveled - but we understand that for many they are being traveled alone. Proceeds from sales of Out of the Darkness will be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention - for more information on AFSP please visit their website at: afsp.org For those who may be in crisis - PLEASE call or text 988 to connect directly to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
