Our sense of time impacts our decisions, motivation, performance, mood and health in all sorts of peculiar ways. But despite time being ever-present in our lives, we simply accept its seemingly relentless progression. And in letting it rule the way we work and organise our lives, it's made many of us feel rushed, stressed and unproductive.TIME WARPS brings innovative ideas and cutting-edge science together and, with practical insights, shows you how to feel more in control of your time and use it more wisely. With the help of '100 rules to master time', Dr Ian Taylor will show how changing the way we think about time can unlock our motivation to achieve what's important to us, build better habits and banish busyness for good.

Shusha follows two complex women - an alluring Egyptian high priestess and a scandalous Victorian heiress - connected by a mysterious, supernatural bond across centuries. This historical fantasy follows the life of a young Egyptian girl, destined for greatness, whose path is mysteriously guided by a divine feline entity. Surrounded by palace intrigue, this bewitching priestess undergoes many trials and tribulations in the pursuit of ultimate divinity. Centuries later in Victorian London, wealthy young socialite Rose courts power in her own right, inheriting a lavish estate amidst whispers of foul play. As Rose develops a shadowy coterie of Egyptian servants and creates a subterranean shrine to honour artefacts from the ancient world, her eccentricities, and the mysterious influence of a past life provoke scandals amongst London's elite circles. What is the secret behind the cosmic connection between these two complex women? The novel masterfully blends mysticism and historical realities, exploring themes of destiny and the unseen forces shaping our lives. Taylor's narrative delicately balances the revelation of fate with a sense of intrigue, keeping the girl's ultimate destiny shrouded in mystery, inviting readers to explore a world where myth and history converge.

Sozialdrama trifft auf das Erwachsenwerden und auch auf übernatürliche Kräfte in DIE SCHULD.Dieses Buch spielt 1962 in einer Kleinstadt in England. Es ist eine Zeit des Standesdünkels, wo ein Mensch nach seiner täglichen Arbeit beurteilt wird und der Aldermaston March, eine Bewegung gegen die atomare Aufrüstung, bevorsteht.Nach einer regnerischen Nacht treffen sich vier Jungen im Römerlager: Brock aus der Mittelschicht; Red, dessen Arbeiterfamilie Großes mit ihm vorhat; Mouth vom Schrottplatz; und Raggy, der taube Einfaltspinsel. Sie beschließen, hinunter zu den überschwemmten Feldern am Flussufer zu gehen, um dort zu jagen.Als die vier Shack, den örtlichen Wildhüter, treffen, gibt er ihnen den Rat, die Landschaft respektvoll zu behandeln, da sie sonst die Rache des Wilden Mannes, des übernatürlichen Hüters, treffen wird. Ungeachtet der Warnungen setzen die vier ihre Pläne fort.Schon bald lauert der Tod und einer nach dem anderen muss sich seinen Dämonen stellen ... und auch der Schuld, die sie ganz und gar einnimmt. Unten am Fluss brauen sich uralte Kräfte zusammen, denn der Geist des Wilden Mannes erwacht.

Spoken in Whispers is an anthology of 13 tales to disturb the mind and chill the blood. Written by Andrew Llewellyn and Ian Taylor, illustrated by Selene Paxton Brooks and edited by Darrell Buxton. "In the classic tradition of the Pan Books of horror, a frightfully good collection of gruesome terror tales in a modern setting... pleasingly seasoned with healthy doses of British humour, thankfully not of the politically correct kind." - Allan Bryce - Editor, Dark Side magazine "In unison, two fresh voices that echo with eeriness, drum a dread beat and dare to explore the dark hinterlands of horror." - Tony Earnshaw - Author, journalist, broadcaster Andrew Llewellyn is a freelance writer whose film essays have appeared in such genre magazines as We Belong Dead, The Fantastic Fifties, The Dark Side, Infinity and Cinema of the '70s. He is also the author of the book 'From Gothic Chills to Cult TV Thrills: The Baker and Berman Story'. Andrew and co-author Ian's involvement with the 'BHF' Books of Horror Stories in recent years influenced them to originate this anthology. After dabbling in horror fiction in the early '90s, Ian Taylor ventured into writing and editing music fanzines. Over the last five years, Ian has become a regular contributor and editorial team member of We Belong Dead magazine, also contributing to all their book releases. This led to writing for other publications such as The Dark Side, The Fantastic Fifties, Halls of Horror and Scream. His first solo book, 'All Sorts of Things Might Happen: The Films of Jenny Agutter' was released in 2021 and received good reviews. Selene Paxton-Brooks is a chaos faerie who lives in a Victorian mansion by the sea. She is a weaver of magic thread who one day picked up a pencil and doodled terrors. She found that the dark images became loved, which made her smile. She hopes to draw some more... but don't be surprised if her creations leave the page and tiptoe deep inside your head. Be aware that her dreams can easily turn into your nightmares if you don't turn the pages quickly enough...
