One August day in 2017, Christina Davies receives a life-changing message about her supposedly long-dead husband Cador. The Native American sender of that message claims to be in possession of documents and items that Cador has left to his son Jonny. One of these items turns out to be an unknown Gainsborough painting worth millions, and it hides a map with directions to a secret hideaway full of fabulous treasures. This map sets Jonny, Christina and her friends on a dangerous quest that will change their lives forever. But the painting is claimed by 'other parties' who want it because it clarifies ownership of land in Boston Massachusetts; ownership granted by King George II for services rendered by a direct relative of Jonny Davies - the pirate Captain Robert Davies. The land is also claimed by a Boston religious community that has become rich off the back of its ownership. But over the centuries their accountants have morphed into a Mafia-linked community holding company that is using the money to fund global criminal aspirations. The secrets of the painting could destroy their plans. The authors have framed a cast of characters that builds and sustains the story through a well-conceived developed plot. Deep emotional and sexual attachments are formed as their adrenalin-fuelled 14-day journey encounters murder, kidnap, drug running and extreme violence - all addressed head-on by the authors. Their detailed and dynamic writing style drives the plot at a frantic pace, drawing the reader into a breath-taking story packed with desperate chases on foot, speed boats, cars, the London Underground and horseback.

POCKET BOOK. I am a patch of sunshine on the path (said the tiger) dappled and hard to see. The forest is quiet and waiting (said the tiger) no need for fear of me. (126 pages)

Philosopher and Social Critic Brian C. Taylor's "the Authentic Self" is the most modern attempt to define the Self. By way of running the associations in our minds through what Taylor calls the Philosophy Generator, we become privy not only to of what our thoughts are made, but of what all thoughts are made. Developed during the four years Taylor researched and wrote "Anti-Social Engineering the Hyper-Manipulated Self," this new collection promises to deliver the purest, mathematical philosophy, with only the most minimal history, sociology and opinion. "The Authentic Self" is simply the nuts and bolts of how we become who we are. The constituents of your Paradigms, (the associations our minds make on any given idea,) are examined, sourced and evaluated with the goal of revealing your Authentic Self. The book is written simply, like a lesson in school, that simply repeats, getting more complicated each time, until finally the reader arrives at the best possible human understanding.

Drugs are substances that lead men to carelessness about their own bodies. These become sick and degenerate. Judgement is impaired and men make mistakes in their work, their driving, their relationships wih others. Their families and dependents too are affected by the errors of judgement which result from their carelessness. The Buddha pinpoints that it is the carelessness resulting from taking drugs that causes errors in our thinking and behaviour. This carelessness is avoided if the cause, the drugs themselves are given up. (14 pages)

POCKET BOOK. THE FALL - Each tentacle that used to be anonymous is now by mutual consent autonomous. They may behave at first a bit like fools but they'll get better when they know the rules. (73 pages)

POCKET BOOK. GNOMON The shadow of the gnomon slides at a steady rate. Even if the dial is ancient, the time itself is up to date. Though the train sleeps in the station, the sun just will not wait. And the ever-moving sun and the clocks that tick and chime are the chains we use to bind our minds and imprison them in Time. Time has no bird, no scythe, no power over man or Fate. Having wanted to be early, we decide that we are late. (122 pages)

In Fighting for Citizenship, Brian Taylor complicates existing interpretations of why black men fought in the Civil War. Civil War-era African Americans recognized the urgency of a core political concern: how best to use the opportunity presented by this conflict over slavery to win abolition and secure enduring black rights.

"Between fear & love is hope." __________________________________ Cole is a powerful young psychic, unknowingly involved in a conspiracy to end a mental war with a mysterious consciousness, taking place within a drug-induced dream. Last Human Being is a science fiction mystery, written and presented as a novella for a film. Praise for Last Human Being: English Professor and Author of Forge, Kevin Macpherson Eckhoff has said, "Fast and shadowy, Last Human Being pits instinct against philosophy. This book, part somnambulist allegory, part speculative psychosomatic thriller, renders shifting dream-scapes in which impassioned characters confront not only one another's fears, but also the haunting vacuity of their own interiors. Fans of MTV's original Aeon Flux series or George Lucas's THX 1138 will easily be consumed by the ink-whether electric or chemical-within Brian Taylor's first novella."

This book is a study of commercially unsuccessful writer Forrest Reid (1875-1947), whose life of provincial obscurity stands in stark contrast to his rich imaginative life. Reid was obsessed with boyhood, and childhood was the recurrent theme in his work. This book, first published in 1980, was the first study of the author for twenty-five years.
