    From a transmission received on Earth in 1968 but only decoded in 2011, Where-Stand-All is the translation into Human language of Hegma Heghena's academic yet epic, intimate and dramatic early history of the Hodrin species on their home planet, Where-Stand-All. The original, Hodrin, narrative is purported to be over half a million years old. At first alien, you will soon find yourself living out each compelling chapter through Hodrin eyes, in Hodrin skin, and likely reflecting on parallels and differences with our own human ways and history. Physically hard to distinguish, Hodrin females are gifted with the facilities of speech and rational and experimental-creative thinking: Hodrin males, very differently, with mind-joining and effortless foreseeing of what will come, without the female understanding of how things can be brought into being through effort. How the female mind works is a mystery to the males, and the male mind to the females. Where-Stand-All is often the story of those leading females who made links with male society, and those males who made links with female society, thus propelling their civilization forward. It is also the story of stress when one society did not take account of the other. Hodrin offspring are independent at five days. Young Hodrin bond through play and mix with one-another, apart from adults. Hodrin adult communities bond through the female mating frenzy, marking the female coming-of-age. By recounting the stories of those individual Hodrin prominent in their early history, Where-Stand-All follows the development of various strands of Hodrin settlement on their home world, from their lives as tree and cave-dwellers, right through to their era of interstellar exploration.

    'The true traveller goes forth aimlessly and uncalculating, only to meet and greet unknown fate; because risk enhances the prepared mind,' advised my backpacker friend, Matt, repeatedly. With his words in tow I, a British Chinese on-a-shoestring-budget scrimpy backpacker, embarked on a number of separate journeys, spread over a decade. I have written my candid accounts of some of the adventures I had on those journeys. Travel evokes a gamut of emotions. And, within the pages of this book, I have, I hope, expressed those evoked in me. Because my adventures led me to the conclusion that scrimpiness and travelling are not always mutually compatible; that, when it comes to imparting her profound lessons, travel is a strict teacher; and that, above all, you must always pack your sense of humour when on the road!

    The year is 1840, a time where the Balkans are under Ottoman rule, where Christian citizens are cruelly subjugated by their tyrannical overlords. It is also the time when the seeds of revolution and perceived injustice will be sown.In Dobr¿, a Serbian enclave in the Eyalet of Bosnia, life under Ottoman rule has never been easy. The town's idyllic setting in a valley of rolling hills with rich fertile soil close to the blue-green waters of the Neretva River, made it a prime site for the Ottomans to site their garrison.Djordje's father, Aleksandar, as leader of the council tried to be a guiding influence on the Pasha and curb some of his excesses but his efforts were futile. The Pasha took great delight in bringing as much misery to the people of Dobr¿ as he could.As a young child Aleksandar had witnessed the construction of ¿ele-kula [Skull Tower] in Niš as a consequence of rebellion and now sensed it in the air once more. He feared for everyone's safety and now the Pasha has demanded an announcement of Djordje's betrothal to Katarina.As far as Djordje is concerned the tyrannical Pasha has gone too far. Nothing would make him happier than to marry his beloved Katarina, but while there is breath in his body he will not allow her to submit to the Pasha's vile demands of "First Night". His plans for revolt to be rid of the Pasha lead to tragic consequences.Djordje, Katarina and his band of followers flee across the mountains knowing there is little hope of ever seeing their families again. They hide their identity and make a new life for themselves but they are wanted men. The search for them is led by the Pasha's right-hand man, ¿aba. As much as Djordje wants to head for the relative safety of Serbia, circumstances will not allow it. With news that ¿aba is still looking for them; it is down to Djordje's son, Panta, to lead his family across the mountains to Serbia discovering more about his heritage, travelling across lands once belonging to the Old Kingdom.

    The world feels increasingly volatile and polarised. Millions of people are displaced or alienated by abuses of power. Our lives are cluttered, stressful and unsatisfying. Our sense of who we are and where we belong is more fragile than ever. Following political and personal upheaval at home, Cliff James emigrated from his native England and travelled the globe in search of an ideal society. In his quest for Utopia, he sought enlightenment in Himalayan temples, joined ecological and peace projects in Israel and Palestine, and served at refugee camps and organic farms from Europe to Asia, Australia and South America. Against a backdrop of global instability, he depicts the intricacies of daily life around the world, the challenges of social and environmental injustice, and the resilience of the human spirit. Life As A Kite is a philosophical as much as a geographical journey, a personal narrative of loss and hope, and a manifesto for a future without frontiers.

Layton believes they relate to events locked away in his childhood memories. He is also desperate to discover the fate of the woman he loves.Set against the atmospheric backdrop of ancient landscapes, stone circles, Roman ruins and ghosts, forests and moorland, The Daughters of Carrawburgh is a thrilling paranormal adventure, centering on a story of stone circles and the ghosts of Roman soldiers, rather than a world populated by monsters, dragons and trolls.NetGalley reviews:BA Leon 4.0 out of 5 stars: A paranormal/psychological thrillerThe past and the present intermingle in this psychological thriller, in which Sam will finally discover the meaning of the visions he has had since his childhood. Sam is a medium who has been invited to an archaeological excavation to contact the spirits of the people who were sacrificed on the site, a henge known as The Daughters of Carrawburgh.

Snipper is soon on the tail of Mr E but, along the way, he must protect his friends, hide his identity and decide once and for all whether the hedgehog in blue is friend or foe. Perhaps she is nothing to do with Mr E. Perhaps she is just a stranger whose book he picked up for her. But a book may contain a code or a secret message... Snipper's journey takes him from the magnificent but dangerous snow-covered slopes of the Altispine mountains; through the Needlelands where Van Hogloot - a criminal banker with international connections - has his home in a charming converted windmill; to Icepeak, a remote and starkly beautiful island where Snipper finally comes face-to-face with the mysterious Mr E himself.

    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.

Aimed at young performers from pre teens to young adults.The Drama Pot 2 follows on from the success of The Drama Pot, which shortly after It was released had monologues from the book selected by LAMDA as their grade 1 and 2 set pieces for their 2019 Anthology. The book has been written by an experienced drama teacher with over twenty years experience which includes heading up a performing arts faculty in a secondary school, GCSE and A-Level examining and most currently residing as the principal of a successful theatre school.The original monologues and scenes can be used for class work, festivals, exams, and there are also some great script starters which make great starting points for children to create their own performance work. The monologues have guidance on age suitability and there is a good mix of male and female characters, with some written as non-gender specific in order to give the performer a wider selection of pieces to choose from.This collection of creative material would be a great asset to any drama teacher's resources and could be of benefit to primary and secondary schools as well as youth groups, and those preparing for auditions."The Drama Pot is a wonderfully diverse collection of monologues. Such rich, interesting and inventive scenarios for young students to explore. I would certainly recommend this book to any drama or LAMDA teacher." Luke Stevenson (Drama Teacher)"I've used The Drama Pot for my last few drama exams. The children really enjoy the monologues and we have received great results. Highly recommended."
