Avenging Angels
The clock is ticking in this fast-paced novel, in which a man who has lost everything journeys his way down a path of deceit, with deadly consequences.
While trying to come to terms with his tragic loss, evil forces are at work, which make him realise that all is not how it may seem.
The man is Mike Feather, a builder and family man, he could be any of us, which leads you to ask yourself the questions: how far would you go for your family or a friend in need? Who do you trust with your life or more importantly, with your family?
We put our faith in a system that is there to protect us from the wickedness of evil people, but what we expect and what we get are seldom the same thing.
The story encourages the reader to re-evaluate their belief of whether the end justifies the means, as ethical lines are crossed, and whether taking the law into your own hands is ever justifiable.
Everyone has their breaking point, and when you’ve nothing left to lose, but your whole world to gain, what would you do?

Awaken, Broken Soul
All my life, I was hiding behind a Girl, who was scared of showing her true self.
Who wanted to be somebody else so urgently.
Nevertheless, it should be okay to show, that we struggle with self-esteem sometimes,
that we hurt ourselves because we cannot confront the ones who hurt us.
We are forced to hide the parts that define us, whether it is a depression you are not supposed to talk about,
a man who uses his power to abuse you mentally,
a family that rips you apart,
or a life you never chose to live.
I want to end the hiding and stop the silence.
All of us went through,
go through,
dark thoughts,
and miserable times like that.
And I survived.
We survived.
You survived.
Or will survive.
So, will you listen?£3.50 -

Baz, Ant and the Boys
The summer started with ‘Brown Sugar’ and it ended with The Who at The Oval cricket ground, where they turned live rock music into a mesmerizing, pulsating miracle. And bound up in this heady atmosphere of 1971 was the pure, unadulterated love of football and all its absurdities, where sex, snakebite and the slide tackle scythed their way through everything.
Shortfall College, a gaunt and brooding building, reminiscent of the Industrial Revolution cut a dark slice of shadow across the South London sky. It was here that an oddball, dotty selection of students set out in search of the Holy Grail – the South London Intercollegiate Cup – aided by spurious tactics and hindered by countless distractions.
From Marlene, the landlord’s wife, a goddess and vixen with a predilection for ice who couldn’t keep her hands off Baz, to Norman, a ringer, with a rather unhealthy lopsided grin who completely snapped when trying to remove an opponent’s ear with his teeth.
Driven ever onwards by The Bear, their captain and inspiration, and Baz, his defensive henchman, they try to rein in the Ant, who possesses the aerodynamics of a spear and a footballing philosophy whereby the ball isn’t absolutely necessary.
