Cocoa the Cat
‘I arm myself with an extra sweater and some garden gloves, fully expecting him to dig his killer claws into my chest, potentially infecting me with the coronavirus in the process. I have anxiety issues, you see.’
It is the spring of 2020: the world is in the grip of a pandemic. In the midst of the national lockdown, a lonely, anxious woman is self-isolating at home with no one for company but the bird-slaying tom cat terrorising her garden, whose violence she detests. Love at first sight it is not. Until one day Cocoa, the tom cat, manages to get inside her flat and all of a sudden shows his vulnerable side. Slowly, a friendship develops between these two unlikely bed fellows. Cocoa the Cat is a story about isolation, loneliness, friendship and acceptance. It is a homage to all those furry friends without whom lockdown would have been an even lonelier place.

Cometh the Witch
Little Green is a witch. Not your ordinary, wearing black, pointy hat, cat-owning witch. She is more of a feisty hippy, green dress, bare feet, blonde-hair with-flower-in-it and no-cat witch, and you mess with her at your peril.
Armed with only a garden gnome, she fends off marauding goblins. When homeless hillbillies arrive in Brooklands, she’s there to help: racing against bullies in Lord Maxwell’s horseless chariot race, using extraordinary magic to help the circus Indian find his way home, dealing with cruel and wicked witch-finders. All this and it’s her birthday too. She really doesn’t want any fuss, so who’s the strange sailor knocking at the door?
Oh yes, Little Green is certainly a witch and, my word, what a witch!
This is going to be magic!

Dancing with Jezebel
Three of the most fascinating characters in Israel's history are contemporaries and opponents. There is Elijah, the fiery prophet of God; Ahab, the weak and unfaithful king, and Jezebel, the beautiful pagan queen who leads the northern kingdom of Israel into deeper apostasy and paganism. Dancing with Jezebel is told through Obadiah, a righteous and God-fearing man in the court of Ahab. The Bible gives us little information about this man who both serves the king and befriends the prophet, but he is perfectly situated to tell what it would have been like to witness the manipulation of the king by the beautiful queen from Sidon. In this book, Obadiah is the grandson of Dan, one of the counsellors sent to Rehoboam, the foolish son of Solomon whose arrogance led to the rupture of Israel and the formation of the Northern Kingdom that became Samaria. Obadiah's wife, Naomi, is from Judah, the cousin of King Jehoshaphat, king of Judah. Obadiah gives a brief account of the kings of the Northern Kingdom, the origin of Samaria, and the conflicts with Judah and the revival of faith in the southern neighbour. This historical fiction is faithful to scripture concerning a forgotten era from Israel's history that speaks to issues of our day: the loss of historical faith, the rise of false religions, and the consequences of apostasy. There are fictional characters and narratives, but the actual history of Judah and Israel are faithfully recounted. It is a history we need to remember.

Darling Untold
Lovely Jan,
With her radio, knee-high socks, and curls.
In some ways she was different to other lovely girls.
She had two wonky eyes that made things hard to see.
If you held up two fingers, Jan most likely saw three!

Not one little bit,
It made her ears better at listening to trumpets...
