Do you identify with dental phobia? Do you like people-watching? Do you have anxieties in hospital outpatient departments? Do you enjoy touches of anthropomorphism? Grey Silk is a collection of short stories written, according to the author, over far too many years. They have grown dust in the far reaches of a laptop and have, at last, shaken the mouldy bits off and surfaced, hopefully free of the smells of mustiness. It is a mixed bag of Cornish memories, mice and Latin, pig abduction, incontinence with a touch of Gilbert & Sullivan spoofishness, and alternative farming in a stately home. Add in some gruesome infection and a bit of garden sluggery, tinged with the loss of colour in a depressing world. Some tales give rise to nostalgia, some are ridiculously daft, one is a homage to Alfred Hitchcock, two made the author feel distinctly uncomfortable, and at least one has a cringe factor about it. There are some to make you think, some to try and stop you thinking, some to make you smile, and one that may leave you with a sense of sadness about an imaginary dystopian state that has a hopelessness about wishing for the "unwishable". It is perhaps up to the reader to guess which of any of these labels may fit the written words.

A trip abroad to avoid a scandal at home leaves him bored and restless.

Extending out from Northern Greece into the Aegean Sea are three peninsulas, one of which, Mount Athos, has been a monastic republic for over a thousand years. A pilgrimage to the Holy Mountain is a journey to the heart of Orthodox monasticism, and Father Spyridon takes us with him to hear words of ancient wisdom that may lead us into a deeper sense of God's presence. Father Ioakeim Oureilidis writes "This book is primarily a spiritual invitation through this paper object, that our Holy Mary, our Panagia, making good use of Fr Spyridon's skills and talents, extends to us all to visit her earthly home, the Holy Mountain, in order to be rejuvenated through faith and communication with the praying fathers and her grace."

Does God exist? What is the nature of God? Why should I be moral? Is there an ultimate objective for man? Many different arguments have been employed over the centuries to answer these questions, for they are fundamental to our sense of purpose. This book attempts to provide answers using some simple logical analysis and observations based on common experiences. Concepts relating to the certainty of knowledge, the existence of God, the nature of morality and the ultimate objective of man are explored. The result is a challenge to long accepted wisdom and an alternative proposition for the consideration of mankind.

Of all the enemies that our hero has shrunk away from, there was one he feared above them all. By his own admission they gave him nightmares into his dotage. It was not the French, the Spanish, the Americans or the Mexicans. It was not even the more exotic adversaries such as the Iroquois, Mahratta or Zulus. While they could all make his guts churn anxiously, the foe that really put him off his lunch were the Ashanti."You could not see them coming," he complained. "They were well armed, fought with cunning and immense savagery and above all, there were bloody thousands of the bastards."This eighth packet in the Thomas Flashman memoirs details his misadventures on the Gold Coast in Africa. It was a time when the British lion discovered that instead of being the king of the jungle, it was in fact a crumb on the lip of a far more ferocious beast. Our 'hero' is at the heart of this revelation after he is shipwrecked on that hostile shore. While waiting for passage home, he is soon embroiled in the plans of a naïve British governor who has hopelessly underestimated his foe. When he is not impersonating a missionary or chasing the local women, Flashman finds himself being trapped by enemy armies, risking execution and the worst kind of 'dismemberment, ' not to mention escaping prisons, spies, snakes, water horses (hippopotamus) and crocodiles.It is another rip-roaring Thomas Flashman adventure, which tells the true story of an extraordinary time in Africa that is now almost entirely forgotten.

How is it that our supposedly intelligent species manages to do such damage to the precious and fragile planet that we inhabit? We ought to be able to work out what is best for us. We ought to be able to think of the future. But we don't. This perverse behaviour reflects our failure to understand the human personality. We have been powerfully influenced by misguided ideas about people and about what it is that makes for human flourishing. The Earth and Us is a book about people, our impact on the natural environment and the political, economic and industrial implications - and about how we all live our lives.

But is she strong enough or will she succumb to its malevolent desire? "Compellingly readable, Fitful Head is a suspenseful and thrilling ghost story for our times." Caroline England, author of Beneath The Skin "Unnerving and had me jumping at sudden noises for days." KN Johnson, author of Frigid and other stories

In "this seventh instalment in the memoirs of the Georgian rogue Thomas Flashman ... he re-joins his former comrade in arms, Thomas Cochrane, in what is intended to be a peaceful and profitable sojourn in South America. Instead, he finds himself enjoying drug-fuelled orgies in Rio, trying his hand at silver smuggling, and escaping earthquakes in Chile before being reluctantly shanghaied into the Brazilian navy. Sailing with Cochrane again, he joins the admiral in what must be one of the most extraordinary periods of his already legendary career"--Amazon.com.

The novel is a satirical, campus novel set in the recent past. It concerns the ivory towers of academe, what it is to be Non-PC in the Eighties, and a great deal of alcohol.It is December, 1985.

But which man is, actually, the more unscrupulous of the two? And is there hope for either of them?"You have such a lovely use of language I found myself drawn into your story on that alone. Merry murder from piles and fabulous descriptions of the knee cartilage make this a joy to read." (Kelly Van Nelson, author of The Pinstripe Prisoner, long-listed for the Yeovil Literary Prize 2017) "It's really interesting how you create a sense of modern day angst that we can all relate to but set that within an academic setting relating to historical and archaic study. It's a lovely juxtaposition between two worlds and works really well." (Karl Warburton, forthcoming novel: The Taxi-Dermist)"It is good to read such fluent and entertaining writing. ... The tone is just right for the world-weary Fergus: it is always gratifying when a new character so quickly becomes familiar. ... Comedic writing often runs the risk of being anything but; however, the dry wit deployed here is sharp (indeed, Tom Sharpean) and well directed." (Jago Piran, author of YA thriller The Devil's Own Time)
