    Snowball Earth - Quinn tells of a world divided by two opposing social frameworks. Within one of these frameworks "the village" is revived to explore the impact of being different in an environment where class and social bias do not exist. From moments of humour to sobering and emotive occurrences, Quinn's last steps to adulthood show how we never truly know ourselves until under pressure, when one decision can forever change how we see ourselves.Witches, Crones, a secret battalion and snowboarding Pagans all play a part in Quinn's journey. This book wraps elements of realism inside a futuristic social fantasy."A stunning debut novel. I didn't wish to reach the conclusion and close the book on characters I had connected with so completely throughout the story. The book, and those within its pages, will remain in readers' thoughts long after they reach the end."

    These poems are unearthed gems, concise and rich in crystal clarity. A treasure for any reader of poetry. ---(Z D Dicks, Founder/CEO Gloucestershire Poetry Society and Gloucester Poetry Festival.)…..Radiant and luminous poems written by a poet with a richly lyrical voice and more than a touch of Seamus Heaney in her vivid, earthy descriptions of rural life. Each poem is a little Eden or arcadia, seething with sensory detail and resonating with musicality. These are astonishing poems in which a dazzling use of imagery is fused with a masterful use of language and line break, in which every line, ever word, is breath-taking. Immensely beautiful and potent poetry, which remains connected to the real world whilst transcending above it. ---(Anna Saunders, Cheltenham Poetry Festival Founding Director.).....Bailey shows a beautiful attention to detail in this writing. Her work boasts a crisp and observant voice that left me longing for the simplicity of youth, and her countryside descriptions had me itching to escape the city for a weekend of wonder and wilderness. This work has a rich taste to it, indeed. ---(Dr Charley Barnes, Worcestershire Poet Laureate 2019-2020, Managing Director | Sabotage Reviews, Visiting Lecturer - Newman University and University of Worcester).....I wish Bailey could have read these testimonials to her talent. From the moment I read the first poem, 'Blackberry Jam' I knew we had found a jewel. Working with her words gave me goose bumps... It is an honour to finally fix her poems in print. ---(Josephine Lay, Poet in Residence at Cheltenham Library, Creative Writing Adviser Black Eyes Publishing UK).

    'In Intimate Nature, Z D Dicks hops the border between the human and the animal, exploring the increasingly fraught coexistence of civilisation and non-human species, while offering us dark glimpses of our feral selves. Wolves, chimps, magpies, vipers and ants all teem through this energetic and vivid collection, populating an urban jungle where the poet 'howls' like a 'dog on a chain'. - (David Clarke) .....'Poems that sizzle with electric energy, an unusual and unforgettable collection excavated from an excitable, surreal mind.' - (Jennie Farley) .....'Potent, explosive poetry which crackles with electricity. Z Dicks displays a masterful handling of language and fuses a richly lyrical voice with innovative almost experimental syntax and form. At time there's such vivid earthy and timeless imagery it brings to mind Seamus Heaney.' - (Anna Saunders) ....'Dicks's poetry has the touch of the prophet about it. With an uncanny ability to look below the surface of our everyday world, this collection brings the reader uncomfortably, unsettlingly close to its sharp, hard edges. Twisting together the personal and the societal like brambles, it is impossible to know where the paths of these wonderful poems will lead: towards the broken, discordant chords of a 'tangerine pink petrol dusk' or with an expertly injected flash of lightness and humour. With its innovative use of spacing and challenging exploration of our natural world, this collection feels extremely necessary in our troubled times. It is a real must-read for all who question the distance we have put between ourselves and the spaces we live in, with writing that combines difficult questions with pleasure and light. In the words of the poet himself: 'if he were here now, I'd pass him my banjo.'' - (Ben Ray) .....'The poems in Intimate Nature explore what makes us human, and what is still firmly animal about us, and how those two extremes are almost always closer than we think in our everyday lives. With striking imagery and fluid language, the raw material on every page is polished into a poetic gem. One to read and re-read, this collection will give you a new perspective each time you pick it up.' - (Kate Garrett, poet & editor)

    Josephine Lay's short stories focus on the human condition. This collection is all about people, their relationships and how they cope with loneliness and loss. Some of her stories are light and amusing, some darker and sadder, and some are frankly strange. They were written over a period of ten years, yet all have a thread that strings them together; a slim strand of colour… The many tones of Saffron.The Short Story has, in the past, been less fashionable than the Novel, but it is gaining popularity in this frenetic, modern world, where people have less and less time to read. As Silas Marne says, 'The world has accelerated; people, no longer have the time to read pages and pages of literary eloquence.' Josephine Lay's stories will haunt you long after you have put down her book. ~ Silas Marne

    'Another Friday' is a poetry book by Peter Lay and Zaiming Wang... It should not be seen as a sequel to 'Yellow Over The Mountain' by the same authors, more of a supplement. Most of the poems were written collaboratively via exchange of email and text messages.

    This is a book, written in both English and Chinese, about the beginning of an unfinished journey to seek life through art. The journey began in June 2014 with an exchange of ideas by email. However, the words in this book have been mainly taken from text messages and emails between March and June 2016. They become metaphorical... And then personal... But that is life…
