It begins where Cast Adrift ended; the Willow has been destroyed and the survivors amongst the crew scattered. Jax is in the hands of his enemies. Will Tre's loyalty to Jax mean that he abandons the rest of his crew? Will Jax let him? How will Rae react to being separated from Jax? Just how dangerous is Kip when he is determined to save the people he loves? And where is Ean?

Cast Adrift is the first part of a science fiction saga set in an interstellar world of the far future where Earth is merely a myth. Ean is queen of the Willow, a small ship with a Traditional crew who live in space and trade between the stars. Suddenly Tre, the laid back crew enforcer, is demanding that they dash to one system to pick up cabin boys and then divert to another to recruit an adolescent who is utterly unsuited to spacer life. Who is Jax? What is Rae? Why is the most powerful individual in Known Space interested in Kip? Most importantly, what is Tre up to?

When old school friends, Angie and Fiona, bump into one another at a rather drunken timeshare event aboard a barge on the river Thames, their reunion will prove to be auspicious. Bored with her life, Fiona insists they both need some excitement. Their marriages have grown stale; their previous hopes and dreams confined to the top shelf, just out of reach. Both women crave romance, not a timeshare apartment. Timesharing a lover; now that would be interesting... Auditions are swiftly convened at London Zoo, with hopefuls including a language student, an opera singer and a pickpocket. Their advert also falls into the hands of a young lawyer called Jake, a colleague of Angie's solicitor husband on a sperm-ownership case. To make sure they each play fair, the women create a list of rules by which they will court and enjoy a man of their mutual choosing. But when has love ever been fair, especially amongst friends?

Sarah's autobiography will interest anyone who is curious about life's meaning, the value of self-discovery, and the search for some form of God. It is, in itself, a blueprint of self-analysis, and at the same time a description of Sarah's raw, rich life, and her restoration from despair to wanting to live. In reading 'Behold Sarah' you will time travel with her through her singular, often murky, ever emerging past. She shares her story with an italicisedgod - but whose voice are we actually hearing? Perhaps Sarah's voice and God's are one and the same. Prepare to float on the flotsam-jetsam Thames, be guided through quirky parts of London, be banged up blissfully in a high security prison, fall in and out of love, and out and into sex , and, deep breath, find yourself in the painfully comfortable paradox of the therapy room. I, Lindy Henny (like Sarah in many respects!) am a psychotherapist, and an author. I love to write in different styles and genres - plays, poetry, novels, both profane and sacred. Accompanying Sarah on her journey, she and I spend time in an imaginary place which she calls The Hut, or The Willow Cabin; there we reflect and ponder on such things as old age, adoption, sex, love, writing poetry, relationships, croquet and tennis. I hope you enjoy 'Behold Sarah', and might be encouraged to 'Behold Yourself' and like Sarah find understanding, meaning, and whatever it is you are seeking.

On March 1, 1940, Adolf Hitler ordered the invasion of Norway. Having swept across Europe at a terrifying pace, the Nazi assault on Scandinavia was designed to secure the valuable source of iron ore being delivered by rail from Sweden to the Norwegian port of Narvik. To complete the task, Hitler sent ten large, modern destroyers, with 220 Alpine Troops on each. Five smaller British H Class destroyers were sent up the fjord in retaliation by the Allied forces, with little knowledge of what to expect. On April 10, the first battle of Narvik began. Royal Naval Captain, Bernard Warburton-Lee, led his flotilla at midnight into the fjord. They had to navigate the four hour passage undetected, under darkness and in driving snow storms. The harbour - eerily silent on their arrival - quickly erupted into a torpedo attack. Back into the fjord, the destroyers Hardy, Hunter, Hotspur, Havock and Hostile were confronted by five German destroyers, coming from both the front and rear. This resulted in a ferocious sea battle with the loss of Hardy and Hunter and damage to the enemy ships. Those crew members who managed to abandon ship and swim ashore, under bombardment from the Germans, had to endure a ten mile march and pray for safe passage back to Britain in order to survive. Author Ron Cope delivers a comprehensive and gripping account of the Narvik battle, juxtaposing the myriad strategic difficulties encountered by the British Navy, with the vivid and insightful personal accounts of the brave survivors involved, most of whom were under the age of twenty-three. Including first-hand testimony from Cope's own father Cyril, a then twenty-one year old Torpedoman, and documents shared for the first time by the family of Captain Warburton-Lee, Cope presents an arresting account of this crucial British naval victory, as told by the sailors who were there. "Meticulously researched, Attack at Dawn relates the vivid real-life experiences of the British sailors who took part in the extraordinarily bold attack by five British destroyers against superior German forces at Narvik... and the desperate running battle that ensued as they tried to make their escape". John Warburton-Lee, grandson of Captain Bernard Warburton-Lee. V.C.

Huh! he thought; if a woman with a pepper spray could see off two hired kidnappers, it would be too dangerous to attempt to dispose of her cleanly. He would keep that idea in abeyance. "e;I am a bastard,"e; he whispered under his breath. His thoughts moved on. A French family man appears to have everything he could want and enjoys life from a luxurious home on the outskirts of Paris, but he seeks ever stronger sensations and with encouragement from some friends with loose morals, embarks on a life of unbridled pleasure seeking, some of which must remain secret. The climax reveals the cost of a game in which participants were supposed to be adult, compliant and happy. The story is seen through the eyes of the main protagonists who comment on personal and political events with the conflicts and discrepancies of human interpretation. 'Dialogue that bounces between characters like real-life conversation pulls readers into the heart of the action in this allegorical historical novel.' Clarion Review 'Reynard's motives are clear; his aim is to show the consequences of choices forged by distrust and self-gratification. This book will resonate well with cynical Francophiles and those who see clearly the moral ill woven into modern society.' Melissa Wuske 'A book chronicling the shady business practices and decadent leisure pursuits of narcissistic Michel Bodin over a period of 30 years, the author presents him as a case study in the endemic corruption of French society under the "e;kleptocracy"e; of the Mitterrand and Chirac administrations. A generally shrewd social commentary, it chimes with current news of the Hollande presidency.' Blue Ink Review 'A libertine novel for the modern age.' Kirkus Review

THIS IS - ¿ A recall of successfully solving novel/intractable operational problems ¿ In seven organisations and six different industries - oil, drinks, agricultural chemicals, dairy foods, packaging, education ¿ A management manual entirely based on that onsite work. THIS HAS - ¿ A 100% track record of sustained success ¿ Invented no theory, makes no assumptions and creates no jargon ¿ A collation of proven repeatable principles BRIEF PERSONAL HISTORY Particular influences in my life have been an early obsession with the sport of fencing, an initial discipline in chemical engineering, and working for eleven years as a line manager in a multinational oil company. I then spent some thirty seven years helping other line managers in seven organisations solving either novel operational problems at the heart of their businesses, or ones previously experienced as intractable. The sustained business success of that work has emboldened me to capture its essence in this management manual. Frank Goh. 2014

It is said that a picture paints a thousand words but unless those words are revealed the viewer has to make their own interpretation. A family photograph like thousands of others may give a clue to the location and time through clothing and scenery, but what is not apparent are the thoughts, aspirations, and life of those portrayed. This is a story of a working class family, whose voyage through the rapidly changing society of the 60's and 70's, was probably like many others. But the difference with this story is that despite the often genuinely desperate situations that they found themselves, they persevered throughout with love and mutual dependence but primarily because there was little choice. The bond that holds us all together through all of life's twists and turns and ultimately determines how we turn out in later life is the underlying story that is revealed. However, as we are the product of our response to our experiences through life, we ultimately never let go.
