The cover of this autobiography shows I.R. Dujon at the time of publication mothering her younger, 6-year-old self. I Will Protect Her details the adolescent years in which Ingrid was subject to tragic child abuse, while the people in charge of her welfare and safety neglected their most basic responsibilities at every point possible. This led to a prolonged period of suffering for her and for so many others. After years of fighting, a full criminal investigation into the crimes was relaunched. Victims were able finally to expose the police and local authorities for their systematic failure to recognise, report, and act upon avoidable and life-altering abuse. The collation of notes, factual evidence, dates and times as recorded by herself and supported by many others affected, led to the prosecution of one of London's most notorious paedophiles, who was convicted and sentenced to 24 years in prison. Only now, after years of counselling, therapy, and personal development, Ingrid has managed to finally close this chapter of her life for good. Today Dujon is a proud mother of five children, all now adults. Dujon's goal is to share her story and inspire any and everyone who has ever been subject to any form of abuse. Ingrid hopes to educate a wider audience who may not be familiar with the patterns and signs of child abuse, and to paint a detailed picture of how people who are external to an abusive situation can still do so much to prevent or change things for the better.

The year is 1925. In the borderlands of a newly partitioned Ireland, a doctor new to Northern Ireland begins a search for a missing patient, a young girl who has fallen pregnant. Meeting a wall of silence, she enlists the help of a local, a former IRA volunteer recently released from jail. Their enquiry brings them into contact with a community still suffering from the wounds of civil war. More worrying for them, they find they are beginning to rattle skeletons that some powerful people would prefer went undisturbed. As they slowly begin to unravel the truth of the girl's fate, they find that the traces they are following lead to some crimes more monstrous that they ever previously considered. "Some Service to the State is a superb book with dialogue that would not be out of place on the stage of the Abbey Theatre. Mick McAlinden is a former IRA man caught on the wrong side of the border and the wrong side of history: a law student who ends up working in an abattoir. Aidan McQuade has created a character whose travails highlight the thwarted dreams and the tragedy of partition for so many people in post-revolutionary Ireland." - Ronan McGreevy, journalist and author of Great Hatred: the Assassination of Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson. "Like Graham Greene, Dennis Lehane, and Louise Penny before him, McQuade takes the humble crime story and uses it like a scalpel to probe and expose the darkness in human souls and human society." - Martin W. Sandler, National Book Award-winning author and historian. "The sparring sparky dialogue is a delight and never fails to vivify the darkness. McQuade shows prodigious skill in shining a spotlight on the scandal of mother-and-baby homes and in brilliantly imbuing the past with his own potent blend of heart, soul and wit." - Rosemary Jenkinson, multi-award winning playwright and author of Marching Season.

There are good secrets, bad secrets, and mysteries. Two dramatic incidents happen on the same day. First, a hacker attack is carried out in England, then the old Farm Hall tapes are stolen from the National Government Communications Head Quarters (NGCHQ) - England's most secure archive. Achilles, the main protagonist of Warsecret, sees a sinister and dangerous connection between the two events.

A series of suspenseful and dramatic actions take place in Berlin, Cambridge, London, and New York.

As will the terrifying system of secrecy that screens them from scrutiny.
In a bygone age, India's forests whispered tales of unicorns. The magic nestled within their spiralled horns was legendary, with villagers weaving tales of its mesmerizing properties. But these stories also painted targets on the creatures. Driven by greed, hunters came in droves, seeking the power in those horns. With every stolen horn, they boasted their conquests, leaving a trail of slain unicorns and bystanders in their wake. Darkness soon descended upon the forest, and the once-celebrated unicorns faded into myths. Yet hope endured through ancient prophecies predicting the unicorns' return. Symbols of their resurgence - a golden seven-pointed star and a bangle adorned with horse and unicorn carvings - were foretold to re-emerge. And in November 1861, these artifacts surfaced from the ocean's depths, heralding the start of The Alicorn Quest. This epic journey follows a young Indian adventurer's quest to an unfamiliar Oregon, where destiny awaits in the form of a unique colt. As adversaries thwart his path, this colt, unaware of his future, grazes in Oregon's
When old friend Arnold Chater Q.C. sends retired Norwegian Judge Christofferson a yellowing manuscript with the mysterious initials G.B. on the first page, the latter starts a quest to seek the truth about British composer Sir Edward Elgar's secret muse in his masterpiece, the Enigma Variations, and whether he fathered an illegitimate child. Fascinated with riddles and puzzles, the composer was in the habit of leaving a series of codes denoting the inspiration for his timeless compositions. But in the Enigma Variations, Elgar forsook his usual practice of inserting initials to honour his muse, explicitly refusing to name his great love by using a mysterious ellipsis. Cheekily, he gives a clue about his inspiration in the violin concerto with the words, 'Here is enshrined the soul of ...' Chris Nicholson's seminal musical thriller weaves an amazing tale with enigmas piled on riddles. He flagrantly delights in leading readers on a breathless chase of the women who were extraordinarily important in Elgar's life. At the same time, he also unmasks Elgar as a man who hid himself and his intimate affairs behind a mask of respectability. Nicholson is merciless in the details of Elgar's life, loves and music, deciphering all the clues and delivering the final judgment as only he can. Chris Nicholson is a retired judge and author of seven books.

"God is. There is no statement more profound or simpler than this. Nothing exists apart from God. God is Being - the eternal, unchanging, infinitely powerful, infinitely knowing, and infinitely loving Being. God is life. He is creator and sustainer of all life and has created us in his own image to know, serve, and love him and to share eternal life with him. History is the story of our response to God's unceasing invitation to be known, served, and loved." And so begins one of our generation's most necessary and rationally deduced theological texts on Catholicism. A Parent's Catechism: Passing on the Catholic Faith is an accessible, highly readable, and objective explanation of the Catholic faith. With a measured hand and strong sense of hope, Dana Paul Robinson thoughtfully and eloquently examines all that is relevant and necessary as he explores the basics of the Catholic faith, a faith when effectively followed, leads to knowledge of God, commitment to God, and surrender to God.
In the winding canals of Venice, artist Martin Snow's fate intertwines with an enigmatic German writer, wealthy and world-weary, with a haunting tale yet to share. Shockingly, this story mirrors Martin's own past, pushing him to confront family secrets that have long been buried. As Martin digs deeper, he's forced to make painful decisions that wound his loved ones. The backlash is swift and fierce, but the truth remains elusive. Only two men hold the key to unravelling the mystery: the stranger and his frail grandfather, bound by the memories of a shared war and a captivating woman. As Martin edges closer to the truth, he faces a dilemma: expose dark family secrets that might shatter his world, or continue living a life draped in half-truths. One thing is certain - his journey will lead him, and those he holds dear, down a treacherous path where past and present collide.
"I see the girl running towards me now just as she did that day when I reached Drew Stainer's land." Such is the shape of one memory Guy Tynan retains of his adventures in Canada when he travels there to find his distant relatives and so fulfils a plan which his grandfather David never managed. Memories of his family and their close friends the Hursts will also be important to him. Guy's meeting with Nicola Stainer will lead him to unlock some of her life's mysteries with a key she is only too eager to protect while sharing her story with him. As he tries to understand her, she in turn will ask him to talk of his childhood sweetheart, Julia Hurst, and will wonder, as his family has, what can have happened to create a gulf between them. Years of exile cannot protect Guy from "the possibility of a horrific and irreversible mistake" as he remains haunted by memories of an encounter in Hareton Woods, and an earlier adventure shared with his cousin Mel. Shaped by Memory is not simply about the power of "what would be so much better forgotten", whether this involves a missing watch, dreadful war-time experiences or the hurt inflicted by damaged relationships; it is also about how much more can be lost in the course of time by a failure to see clearly, for "what you think you see might not be what you're looking at." Guy Tynan will not be alone in having to "think of how not seeing the true picture has the potential for limitless damage."
Broken Roads Lead Me Here tells the true-life story of a boy born into unimaginable abuse in Glasgow in the sixties. By the age of eight, Colin had been abandoned by his mother and continued to be sexually, physically, emotionally, and spiritually traumatised by the man she left him with. Blunted by severe trauma, Colin went through one unimaginable nightmare after another, each more traumatising and soul shattering than the last, with no one to tell and no way to understand why. He wondered as he drifted through life, what was to really become of him? Or his half-sisters? All the while, deep down, sensing that one day it could be his last. At fifteen, he was thrown out of school, and at sixteen he was sent to prison. Colin survived rejection, abandonment, homelessness, gang wars, addiction, mental illness, overdoses, suicide attempts, and abusive adult relationships. But it always seemed as if he was living on borrowed time... Even as he started writing his memoir, Colin had suffered a stroke, and near his recovery's conclusion was then diagnosed with what was initially suspected as pancreatic cancer. While Colin's diagnosis was eventually re-assessed as not immediately life threatening, it did leave him with a series of conditions which would continue to limit the quality of his day-to-day life. His illnesses and his experience of this instead of instilling a sense of profound hopelessness surprisingly led him to a profound sense of inner peace, clarity, and re-awakened purpose through his renewed faith in the real presence, love, forgiveness, and grace of God. His is a miraculous story of faith and redemption. Colin Mackell is a husband, father, and grandfather. In his professional life as Psychotherapist, he has helped people who struggle to overcome drug and alcohol addiction, and helps them find new meaning, and explore new life paths. He is also the founder of Chrysalis Supported Association & Group CEO of Chrysalis Group Services, providing homes and support to some of life's most vulnerable and disadvantaged people.
