The reflections of an old man late in the Victorian era lead back to before he was born. Thomas Spencer, Admiral's Steward, has first sight of Mary Hever, his future wife, on the Bay of Naples in December 1798, just as Lord Nelson is about to evacuate the Neapolitan royal family to Palermo. The dire sea voyage is followed not just by a developing relationship between Thomas and Mary, but also between Nelson and Emma, Lady Hamilton, while elderly Sir William Hamilton is ill. Over the ensuing year, Thomas's devotion to his duty with Nelson results in Mary and himself becoming dupes of Emma and Nelson in a deception so scandalous it would have brought ruin on Nelson and the Hamiltons had it been discovered. When those famous three quit the Mediterranean in 1800, Thomas and Mary have to take the infant Horatio William Spencer back to England as their own. The growing child is deceived even as to the year of his birth and the death in battle of Nelson means plans for his future must change.

My book is dedicated to the Meningitis Research Foundation as I've had meningitis at an early age myself. All my proceedings from this book is for the Meningitis Research Foundation. I've always felt indebted for my lucky escape, so if there is any way of helping, I would feel honoured to be part of it. For the years of writing my autobiography, there were two reasons why I had been doing this: (1) to tell my kids my story (someday) and (2) to help others in understanding what I have been through throughout my time. And if that means helping others, then my job has been done. With regard to raising money for the charity, I hope my book would be a start.

He is fortuitously introduced to the crow whist on sabbatical in the quiet space of nature. He allows himself to be led by the crow to a variety of locations where cryptic verses are written and corresponding interpretations found. Each verse presents thought provoking ideas on aspects of life. All of them have a common thread - to enlighten the reader to see their existence in human form from a completely new and inspiring perspective. The crow takes him on a journey of personal exploration as he is joined by other animals on his travels who help him to discover the hidden treasures of ancient wisdom which still apply today. The symbolic meaning of the crow is revealed in the end and the reader is inspired to begin a new life as part of the creation of everything.
This book is a collection of the miracles, parables and commandments of Jesus, presented by way of comparative study of the four gospels. Jesus is presented here as a human being, homeless and itinerant, who became son of God through renunciation, meditation which led to self-realization. He through the miracles, taught us to restrain from self-glorification, the root cause of sin, but give glory to God for all your achievements because it is not your body, but the spirit of God in you that enables you to do miracles or the works of God. Through the Parables he taught us to what is the kingdom of God and how to seek it. The Commandments, conveyed to us through the Sermon on the Mount teach us how to purify our hearts, lead a righteous life and become perfect or sons of God, who is perfect. One who realize the truth of the Sermon and live accordingly would become God on earth. It is the sum total of all ancient great religions in the world. This book is divided into three parts: the first part dealing with miracles performed by Jesus; the second with parables told by Jesus in the course of his public ministry that form part of his teachings; and the third, commandments, as contained in the Sermon on the Mount.

Imaginings is a book I have had the utmost pleasure in writing and producing. Imaginings covers a variety of topics of all types for all types of people to enjoy and study (if you wish). The various topics that are discussed were actually created as coping mechanisms for me, personally as the writer, to get through my own struggles by understanding the perspectives of other people. That's what Imaginings is-it's based on other people's perspectives. I believe we can all have our favourites; though I have no connection to the book in its entirety, I can emotionally connect and relate to many poems. Other people will as well, just with their own unique poem and taste. I have always had the idea (and this is where I got the name from) that Imaginings would surround people with different feelings, images, and ideas that only they can feel. That's what I want, and that's what Imaginings are. From the bottom of my heart, dear reader, I hope you find your special poem/s, and I would love for you to express your ideas. This is a message from me, Cameron. I hope you enjoy!

At the end, Ella was viewed as a crack whore, when found in such tragic circumstances, by those who knew little about her. A law student, she was bright and full of life. Married and devoted to the love of her life and their adorable son, she was loved to the end . . . It was one of those unique times when the sheer brutalities of humanity, from every global angle, could be witnessed-evidence that war crimes continue in other disguises. Detroit and its people were trudging through a powerful existential crisis, questioning the very foundations of life and the acts of living. The symptoms of mass neurosis, perpetuating hopelessness deep within its roots, and disparity had been growing-a paradigm of primal survival: eat or be eaten! The once grand Motor City had now all but crumbled. Prosperity had now been replaced with cocaine, crack, heroin, prostitution, and all manner of human slavery-trading bodies, sanity, and souls for food within its many dark alleys for survival. It was an escape from the terrors of the gaping lack of hope, power, and purpose! It's no wonder then that Ella unwittingly tripped and fell into the fate that became inevitable.
