A budding witch called Frigity attends an enchanted school for promising witches in the mystical land of Flume. Frigity would be the first to admit she is not the most naturally gifted witch student to have stepped into the renowned witch school, but nevertheless, Frigity tries her best. If truth be known, before aspiring witches don their first witch dress, prior to proudly receiving their pointy black hats, before envisaging their first successful magic spell or before imagining mixing their first potion, every hopeful witch fantasises of the day she takes flight on her very own broomstick. For a young witch, nothing is more rewarding than to fly high into the sky amongst the fluffy clouds and let the world pass them by far below, BUT NOTE, not all witch broomsticks are made the same! Just like people, each flying broomstick has its own personality. The majority are nice, some are stubborn, a few are nasty and a handful have a wicked sense of humour. Some broomsticks are painfully slow through the air and others are blurringly fast. The auspicious day had finally arrived when the ebullient witches attending witch school are going to be presented with their long awaited witch brooms. Will Frigity the witch receive the flying broomstick of her dreams or will she be handed her worst nightmare? Throw in a hungry monster who loves to eat witches for breakfast, dinner or supper, Frigity is once again involved in another marvellous adventure.

The essence of my book I lost my mind And got it back with time My mind is a complex thing Only I know what it is like within Concealed in my skull It's anything but dull I tried to keep it sane But it has its own brain I lost control and got it back But it's that trust I lack Not knowing what comes next I converted my thoughts to text To try and understand Before I'm buried in the sand I kind of know how you tick But to society I am sick Labelled as mentally ill But I have a strong will To conquer my brain And learn how to maintain A level of sanity Enough to have clarity And function within the norm Without causing a storm I lost you twice As I rolled the dice Gambling with my mind Because I didn't know what kind Of illness I was dealing with Now I know schizophrenia it is I try to make my peace With a mind that is never at ease Now I wrote this book And that much suffering it took To describe my mind But I think now it is perfectly timed To share this book With all the pain and sweat it took I hope to spark a conversation That puts us on track to that far destination Where acceptance is key And we can all live free By YM Mehanni

Under the callous rule of their power-hungry overlords, the people long for liberation yet can find no cause for hope or redemption.

It is an endeavour which will lead straight to the grim and uncomfortable truth lying at the very heart of this post-pandemic civilisation, a truth which is better left unknown...

The Small Hill is a sacred place, a healing place, where the ancients buried their dead and holy men came to preach. In the reign of Henry I, a knight stood on the hill, a young warrior straight from the heat of battle and knew the hill and the surrounding land was to be his. A settlement grew and a Norman church with a solid square tower was built on the top. Over the centuries many who owned the land and many who worked on the land were equally drawn to stand on the hill in front of the tower to look out into the distance. From the knight in the 12th century to Tom, an old retired tenant farmer in the 20th century, men stood on the hill looking out to the horizon, to dream of the future or remember the past, each one feeling the small hill's spell.

Readers are transported to Victorian London and introduced to Inspector Doyle, a modern-day detective with eternal life, who discovers that he has been wrongly named as 'Jack the Ripper', the Victorian serial killer. Nobody wants that label at any time in history, so with the aid of time travel he returns to the year 1888 in an attempt to clear his name. Another complication for Inspector Doyle is that his modern-day daughter, Flora, who he has left behind to travel back several centuries, is becoming increasingly suspicious of her father's identity. This is after making her way into his Shrewsbury study, that she is forbidden to enter. The only good thing about returning to 1888 is that Inspector Doyle is able to rekindle his relationship with daughter Alice and wife Eleanor, who he had to leave behind all those centuries ago. Alice can then only but marvel at her father's abilities to answer a question that only he knows the answer to, because he has travelled into the future and back. The story references many Victorian objects that have been meticulously researched and then used to tell a story that is only possible through time travel and a rather clever inventor who may or may not be still alive. Many elements of the original Jack the Ripper case are also detailed as are the horrors of Whitechapel. Find out whether Inspector Doyle manages to clear his name by discovering who the real Jack the Ripper is, and expect a twist at the end that involves both daughters and a Victorian book that, unlike the rest of Inspector Doyle's objects, is unable to exist in parallel between the two time zones.

This book of poetry will appeal to those who can see life from a different perspective; for example, the author's poem on Trousers, reflecting a different view of these everyday garments. His writing is both innovative and sometimes intense whilst also being humorous, such as Knickers and Bras and It's the Dog that gets the Blame. His writing can also be political and controversial like his poem Black is White and can contain clear messages for political leaders. The author's insight into the lives of different people, as shown in Actors and Disability, shows a refreshing and informative view of life. His love of the countryside is clearly demonstrated in Beauty of the Countryside and in other poems. His writing is more punchy than mellifluous, reflecting his unique style of composition. This collection of poetry is a worthy addition to the genre.

What they uncover will change people's view of Mars forever, and pose a growing threat to the mission and the lives of the isolated band of pioneers themselves.

Sergio was born into a traditional Christian family in the '80s. His mother, a devout Catholic, was always his protection; she always loved and protected him, and his father was the man he always wanted to become in the future and his inspiration. However, as he grew older, his mother began to see something different in him, and this became more evident as he passed puberty; she saw his sadness and his way of being, and felt more ashamed of her own son. Little by little, the love that his mother had for him was changing; Sergio noticed his mother was more distant and the sweet words of affection that she had said before turned into frightened looks. All the while his father harassed him more and more, reaching the point of several times attacking him in the heat of emotion. In the hope of being able to change him, his family decided to take him to a seminary so that any demon he had inside him could be removed, but when he arrived at the seminary, Sergio found two very different men who completely change his life and his vision of seeing the world.
