Marvels, Mischief, and Mishaps

Immerse yourself in this new collection of funny tales, advice, and observations. Once again, the author provides amusing and embarrassing stories of life, wearing her heart on her sleeve.

This is the author’s second collection of poetry and poetic tales, following the success of A Few of My Favourite Things. Laying her emotions bare for all to see, she hopes to bring a little joy and a large helping of humour to as many people as she can. The book is so relatable, and it should come with a warning as it will journey you through many emotions. You could be in tears at one point and then laughing out loud the next.

As with her first book, Amanda continues her efforts to raise money for Alzheimer’s care and research. So, once again with every book she sells, she will donate £1 towards charity.

So, sit back, hold on to your hat, and let us take this rollercoaster of emotions together!

Lucy and the Others

Lucy and the Others is the first collection of poems by Danny Horn.

By turns thoughtful and funny, and sometimes frenzied and despairing, this collection of new poems captures the unique perspective of a generation trapped between frequencies.

Love, Life, Death and Therapy

The complexities of heartbreak, the shadows of trauma, the struggles of mental health, and the warmth of love – all find refuge within these pages.

Delve into a journey that captures the essence of the human experience, where every emotion has its sanctuary.

Let this book be your haven, a space to confront, reflect, and heal.

Love Fool

‘They said
never love a fool
’coz your eyes shine in a fool
but
when love knocks on you
grab love like a fool
’coz you are indeed a love fool

They said
never be a fool
’coz love runs from a fool
but
when love stands in your eyes
you can’t hide a fool
’coz you are the fool’

We live life only once, let’s love freely as far as destiny takes us.

Love And Other Thoughts

I floated to the West

I floated through the water
Through the air and the land
Then I became the raindrops in the sand
I floated in the night
Weightless. No effort was made by me
And all the stars were smiling
In the morning I arrived
From the Middle Kingdom far away
I floated
I floated to the West
That’s what they say

Little Heart Beats

Imagine when you first fell in love. What did it feel like?

Little Heart Beats captures a love journey stemming from when you first met your soulmate, how you reacted, how you knew you were in love, what it felt like, and what it means to not only give out love but also to be loved back.

It is subdivided into four sections that will leave you believing in love again.

Light Behind the Shadows

Light Behind the Shadows is a collection of poems that will touch most people who read them, for they deal with many aspects of life as we know it. Each poem is well-made and imaginative but not hard to read. Susan Skinner is not afraid to face many difficult subjects and fundamental thoughts that face us all. There is often a sense of hope and light in many of these poems that will possibly give people courage in their own experiences. These poems each have their own individual rhythm that suits the theme they are dealing with. Susan has always been convinced that there should be music and rhythm in poetry because those two attributes have made us mentally dance ever since we were taught nursery rhymes and responded to them unselfconsciously when we were very little. Poetry is for enjoyment and those quiet moments in a busy life.

Life Through Poetry

Life through Poetry is a selection of poems that look at life through the lens of an author who has experienced a lot throughout the years.
Just as seasons come and go, these poems reflect moments in time: some funny, others sad; some justifiably angry, others thought-provoking. All show a deep understanding and sympathy for those whose lives have been marked by misfortune.
These poems will take you through a life lived and make you question the world around you. Some poems will resonate with the reader; others will bring a new perspective on topics that the reader has not experienced.
Either way, Life through Poetry is a book that adults can read and enjoy as well as reflect on. While not everyone has had the same experiences in life, we all have lived; and this book is a celebration of that.

Life On A Page

Step into the mind through others’ eyes, and feel what they feel for a moment.

Step in the shoes of a lonely person, isolated from everyone and read their thoughts.

Imagine if you could see through the eyes of another, but the person was never able to tell you how they feel?

Embrace love, happiness and sadness all at once, and come out the end with a fresh perspective on life!

Lady Moon

Living abroad, travelling the world, dreaming, exploring, discovering,

Learning and seizing life,

Too independent, too much of a dreamer,

A hopeless wanderer.

Closing my eyes, I feel anything is possible,

I feel powerful I can do anything,

I can be anyone.

But I am just a wandering soul,

A dim moon in a bright world.

Kaleidoscope

Come and marvel at how life at large can be encapsulated into a microcosm in the form of poetic license.  Let this book be your companion when seeking to have some me-time and to chill out in your own chosen surroundings.

Or, discuss Mallory’s poems in more depth with others. Poetry can truly dazzle and serves as an equal alternative to the excitement of reading novels.

The beauty of poetry is the choice given to read any extract to another appropriate age group that can introduce them into this wonderful genre of literature. Similar to music, the titles stay with the reader and will, in virtual speak, stamp its date and location to induce its messages across the wide spectrum of what everyone likes to imagine or likes to encounter.

Poetry is the perfect treat or gift for anyone who would like to travel on a magic carpet away from the madding crowd. Soothe yourself instead - in contrast to an edge of seat thriller novel or film.

Enjoy!

Journey to the Centre of Ourselves

Journey to the Centre of Ourselves is a path into discovering who we really are. It speaks the stories of fantasy and real life. It encourages us to live for the now, laugh in the moment and love whoever we desire. Life’s too short for anything else. It has assisted me in walking through my past to discover who I was, the present to stay the course and the future to reassure myself that living my dreams is a star to always reach for. No matter what they are, I encourage the readers of this book to do the same. Create, walk and cherish your own path of dreams. Know that your head and heart work together to make sure your life shines as brightly as the dreams you follow. It may take more courage, strength and preservation than maybe anything has before but, as cliché as this sounds, I’m a small-town girl with a big dream and I’m getting to live it. As long as your heart is in everything you want, never be afraid to dream. One more thing to you riveted readers out there; no matter how alone or in the dark you may feel, there is always light. That light always stays, never diminishes and provides all of us with the inner strength we need.
