The Unknown Battles That Lie Beyond the Grave

The red-hot saucy chatter was that on the day Manku rescued Joanna from the sewer hole, she wasn’t wearing any knickers. It was therefore alleged the four men got more than they bargained for during the rescue mission. Trump suddenly woke up as though from a slumber. He was no longer in the rough and choppy waters. He soon realised that his body was different and that he wasn’t alone. As he stood there in awe and disbelief, suddenly, he was surrounded by seven individuals adorned in bodies similar to his. He responded that for his first mission, he was inclined to pick Combat Ghosts from one class only, from the class of the dead evil men and women. It was just the beginning. He was in for a rude shock!

The Unsung Hero

When the rest of the world was closing, lots of people were scared. Mums and dads worked from their homes, and children began remote learning too.

But what about the little boys and girls, who weren’t yet ready for school, where did they go? What did they do?

There are lots of special places filled with lots of special people too, that remained open for all the boys and girls who are too little and not yet ready for school. These special places and the unsung heroes that work there kept their rooms filled with lots of fun things to do and worked tirelessly supporting the children and their local communities too.

But just like all the front-line heroes, they also kept our families healthy, our environments clean too, and kept food on the tables, with lots of learning too.

But who are these unsung heroes? This book explores how and why teachers go above and beyond for their boys and girls, every day.

The V.I.P Who Came to My School

The author wrote this story for her five-year-old son. It describes the excitement that children experience when anything new happens or they have someone important visiting their school. The visitor might be a person or a something that was living in the school garden all this time without them knowing.

The Vicar of Abchurch

At the end of his working life, a vicar in the City of London thinks of himself as a failure: no one now seems to treasure the beliefs and religious practices of his youth; the church hierarchy is seemingly obsessed only with modern marketing and business methods which he doesn’t appreciate; and any love between him and his wife has long since vanished. Lacking any personal ambition, he takes on a rundown church and conducts his ministry there in the only way he knows: with understanding, compassion and Christian forgiveness. But in a few short months, the very building and its circumstances change him and his wife forever.

The Watcher

A footloose young graduate replies to a job advertisement and quickly finds himself swept into the world of counter-espionage. His journey through the system eventually places him in a series of difficult and complex situations as he struggles to find his place in this complex and tangled world, where things are rarely as they seem. We follow his journey, which is sometimes humorous and sometimes deadly serious, as he finds out about himself and journeys through the world of subterfuge and treachery. The author has applied a blowtorch to the world of “spookery” in a humorous and insightful exposure of the deep state.

The Way We Are

The Way We Are is an account of a life passed in England, Saudi Arabia, and 50+ years in post-war Japan.

How a search for peace of mind became an attempt at self-realization – “satori” or enlightenment, and an acceptance of why we cannot be other than we are – involving (for no clear reason) an induction into a local secret society, learning to deal with voices in the head and telepathy, hypnotism and “Ki” (being manipulated by another person’s will), prescience, visual and other apparitions, 'ghosts', 'poltergeists' etc. All personally experienced without the influence of any stimulants.

This book deals with questioning the limitations of ‘self’ as sufficient identity in this truly modern world, a world where every single one of us is now almost certainly, at some stage, going to be obliged to recognize themselves as that very much rejected and unwanted ‘other’. It also explores moving the mind away from conflict as a solution and examining the fine line between political, commercial, philosophical/religious guidance and control.

The Wet Patch

You can read into the title of this book anything you wish. Some of my coastal friends on Magnetic Island, North Queensland, and some folks in our little town of Ravenshoe in far North Queensland—anything north of Townsville is far—have, without reading my poetic yarns, jumped to their own conclusions.

Some say, “You’ve written about our wet tropics and rainforest. Others say it’s about our ‘Big Wet’, a nice mild term for our cyclone season. Yet others have truly mucky minds.
What I will say, is that The Wet Patch along with all of the other humorous poems in this little book are true stories.

The book is scattered with North Queensland colloquialisms. The characters, even those with silly names, are real people. Dave, who features in my poems, is my husband, David.

Hope you enjoy the book as much as I did living it.

The Wheels on the Bus

This wacky animal alphabet story is best sung to the well-known tune…The Wheels on the Bus.

The bus is empty, so will the cat, the dog, the elephant, the frog, the goat, the horse, the ibis, the jelly fish and the koala catch up before nightfall?

When will this animal alphabet nonsense finish? Sing along to discover…

…where all small children must drift as the sun goes down.

The Widowers

Paul has been a widower for three years and he would be the first to admit that he feels lost in the seaside town that was to be the retirement home for him and his late wife. Only Paul’s faithful dog, Zeno, gives him comfort. Through a chance encounter, Paul meets Geoff, another widower and dog-owner, in the same boat as Paul. As he reflects on his marriage and his experiences, exchanging thoughts with Geoff, Paul begins to form a new perspective on his life, exploring his sense of loss but beginning to glimpse the possibility of a life after the death of a partner. He is not so old. He’s not too old to change. Each sunrise in the bay brings a new day. There are still journeys to be made before the sun sets at last.

The Wild Ones

The stars of this book live all around you. You may not have noticed that cockatoo in your clothesline and realised he has a brilliant military mind. He may be plotting right now how to steal your lunch. And that cute, cuddly-looking possum – he would rather bite your hand than enjoy a tasty treat from you. Watch out! You may not have realised that those magpies in your garden are telling their kids all about you and your family. They know who is good for a feed and who is a dangerous baby magpie killer. Or at least they think they do. They have probably trained your dog and frightened your cat. There are so many characters out there living wild and uncivilised lives, having romances and adventures, teaching their young and protecting them, hiding from you or maybe even trying to make friends with you. Open up this book for a little inside view into their world.
