In God's Footprint

Ridge Mason’s world was just a remote and secluded corner of Northwest Tennessee that lay barricaded between a mighty river and a beautiful lake. Yet it knew no boundaries. Only moments after taking his first breath, Ridge suffered the most devastating loss a child could ever experience – the death of his mother. Yet it presented no barriers to him. His father and uncle, by contributing equally to his rearing, made sure of that.

As a young man, Ridge’s life on the enchanting body of water had become so rich and colourful that he thought he could never be torn from it. But when the beautiful and alluring Madelyn Fleming entered his world, it was suddenly turned upside down. The unusual and complicated situation this created, forced Ridge to abandon the only place on Earth where he ever wanted to live, in order to save the one he loved. Fearing he would never be able to return home again, Ridge was almost torn apart by his insatiable love for Madelyn and the lake that never stopped beckoning him. When it appeared that only a miracle could appease the two opposing forces, that’s exactly what happened.

La Vida Loca

“I once read that life was a book. It is a true statement. The next part was that if you don’t travel, you stay on the first page, so while you’re young you should embrace life and travel the world. That part is the bit I have a problem with. Just because you don’t travel doesn’t mean you’re living any less of a life. You’re just rewriting your story, which is what you do when you travel too. No one’s stories have set endings. That’s the wonderful thing about life. We are the ones to write the story we live in.”

A trip abroad offers an opportunity for Isabelle Torres to find herself with her two best friends, Danielle Roane and Catherine Peters, before they go off to university.

The group of guys and girls they end up with are all wonderful, and it is a holiday filled with excitement, romance and many fun times and trips which are sure to change their life for the better.

From secret trips to city breaks, the ten teens were set on finding themselves, but instead manage to find friendships that are bound to last forever.

What can Izzy say – they really are living La Vida Loca.

Living The Dream

Cornwall has the most beautiful landscape you could wish to set your eyes on, made still more dramatic with the evening silhouette of St Michael’s Mount in the background.

Jean’s story will tug at your heartstrings, whilst Steve’s tragic tale will show you that a moment of madness can change your life forever. Typical families and friends keep village life moving.
The landlord’s foreign name has not gone down too well with the crowd. “It’s enough to make a man curse,” some would say. “And now they are taking over our pubs too,” some others would say.
So will Lori and Irene win over the locals, as they tirelessly try to get involved with the local community?

Living with Jo

Then, one day, out of the blue, she arrives at his apartment.

a handle on where two-dimensional fantasy ends

and reality begins.

Will she be his saviour … or will she gradually drive him

towards the unwelcome hands of a psychiatrist?

Living with Jo is a love story with a difference. It explores a world familiar to many who find themselves single and adrift in later life. Sometimes they come across unusual and imaginative ways to fill emotional gaps in their lives. In Oliver’s case, it’s an imaginative step too far …

Love or Lust

Have you ever been in love? This book will make you think on this matter of the heart. It takes some men a long time to tell the difference between love and just plain lust.
