Ageing Rock God, Jim Sullivan, is heading for the quiet life on his newly acquired, tiny island, off the coast of Cornwall.That is until he sends a letter to the queen, announcing his intent to declare independence from the UK and appointing himself king.Determined not to cede one inch of British territory, the UK government despatches low-level Foreign Office researcher, John Cabot, to put a stop to Sullivan's ambitions.What they didn't anticipate was Cabot's tenacity for unearthing information they'd rather he didn't, or Sullivan's relentless, but completely unfounded, optimism in his own ideas.Armed with nothing more than a guitar and a spreadsheet, can these two stand up to the might of the British Empire?No contest.

Three weddings and an engagement are the happy result of a trip to Bath for the season taken by Elizabeth Darcy, her husband and their younger sisters, Kitty and Georgianna. Nursing an aching heart due to a recent miscarriage, Elizabeth is encouraged to take the journey as a means of raising her depressed spirits in a fresh and convivial setting. Courtship and conflict occur when familiar characters from all six of Jane Austen's novels are joined by new players in the Austen firmament. Who will prevail in the struggle between intentional matchmakers and unintentional ones? Will new relationships develop naturally or be influenced by premeditated plans orchestrated to ensure rank and wealth are maintained? New and unique storylines are introduced that pay tribute to the original works and reveal plots from her earlier canon. Will love conquer all or will commerce play a hand? Perhaps a bit of both? Whether you are a reader familiar with Austen's novels or have never read any of them, you will have a uniquely satisfying experience being immersed in her Regency world of manners, mores, and romance.

Paul Scudery, a 70-year old long-time actor in the soap, Babylon Revisited, has been playing the role of Ari Bloom for twenty years. He collapses and is admitted to a hospital where he learns that he has contracted a rare and incurable disease. The director of the soap has Paul record several scenes in which he is gradually phased out of the storyline. Paul collapses for the second time in a pool room. In a coma, he is flown to a clinic in France that offers an experimental drug, Cephylor. Awakening out of the coma in the clinic, he answers exclusively to Ari Bloom, the role he played for so many years. He has no idea who Paul Scudery is. In the clinic, Ari meets Penny, another patient, and they form a bond. Together, they attempt to forge a life together in the time remaining. Through dreams which Cephylor amplifies and prolongs, Ari learns of his life as Paul Scudery, a rather unsavory individual interested only in himself. But he also learns that Ari Bloom, if naïve, possesses decent and caring qualities. In a delirium, Ari passes after taking the train to Paris in his pajamas. Sadly, Penny flies to New York to view the final scenes Paul filmed representing his last days on the soap.

Both good and bad. The antics of Mr Perkins will amuse and possibly mystify you. As they do everyone who brushes up against a feline of such majestic influence. This is a story for anyone who loves our feline friends. It's a story for those in the legal profession. It's a story for those who stare out of an office window and wonder. Come and join Mr Perkins as he pads around, helping himself to tuna and sunshine.
