Fourteen Days in August

One August day in 2017, Christina Davies receives a life-changing message about her supposedly long-dead husband Cador. The Native American sender of that message claims to be in possession of documents and items that Cador has left to his son Jonny. One of these items turns out to be an unknown Gainsborough painting worth millions, and it hides a map with directions to a secret hideaway full of fabulous treasures.

This map sets Jonny, Christina and her friends on a dangerous quest that will change their lives forever. But the painting is claimed by ‘other parties’ who want it because it clarifies ownership of land in Boston Massachusetts; ownership granted by King George II for services rendered by a direct relative of Jonny Davies – the pirate Captain Robert Davies. The land is also claimed by a Boston religious community that has become rich off the back of its ownership. But over the centuries their accountants have morphed into a Mafia-linked community holding company that is using the money to fund global criminal aspirations. The secrets of the painting could destroy their plans.

The authors have framed a cast of characters that builds and sustains the story through a well-conceived developed plot. Deep emotional and sexual attachments are formed as their adrenalin-fuelled 14-day journey encounters murder, kidnap, drug running and extreme violence – all addressed head-on by the authors. Their detailed and dynamic writing style drives the plot at a frantic pace, drawing the reader into a breath-taking story packed with desperate chases on foot, speed boats, cars, the London Underground and horseback.

From Inside The Beast

'The wild waters
Spoke in frenzied sounds
The thunder about a mile away
Barrel staves from the bayside
Broke through the Beach
Finally free
When the water and the wind
Swept the sand away...'

This is a collection of 100 poems and appropriations of the many hundreds Salander wrote while serving time in the New York State Department of Corrections.

From Sitzkrieg to Blitzkrieg

I’d seen chaps killed before, of course: Tuppy Horton was the first; accidentally garroted by his own braces, whilst playing ‘Cowboys and Indians’ back in 1922. There had been raw terror in poor old Tuppy’s bulging, bloodshot eyes as he dangled by his neck from that apple tree, while the rest of us just stood and gawped. Then there was Stiffy Plantagenet; who was knocked down on the tennis court at his home, by a motor car driven (in reverse) by his inebriated Aunt Agatha – I seem to remember that Plantagenet was absent from school for quite some time before it was announced by the Headmaster that old Stiffy had finally shuffled-off his bucket, kicked his clogs, and popped his mortal coil.

I have just remembered another one, too: Benjamin Alistair Drayton, who drowned in Tatlock Pond (whilst I warmed my palms on his sister Millicent’s bare breasts in a nearby thicket). I didn’t actually see him drown, of course (having, as I did, my hands rather full at the time), but I watched Mr Mulgrew and Constable Pinchworthy fish Drayton’s lifeless, floppy corpse from the stagnant water afterwards.

This was the first time that I’d seen a chap killed so horribly though; a shell had exploded nearby and shrapnel had completely smashed Simpson’s face in; his belly was torn wide-open, and his wet, shiny innards spilled out onto the brown earth. (Needless to say, he did not live for long.) I paused for a moment, drew a deep breath, and then vomited so hard that my backside trumpeted loudly. (“Pffrrrt!”)

From the Heart

Two women from different walks of life meet up in London.

One who is divorced and nearing her 60s, starts over in a new country, away from the States, with a new career. The other in her 40s, a policewoman who is nonchalant about love after falling in and out of love.

Both women think that they are “over the hill” and have got used to just living their lives. They have a chance encounter and find they are instantly attracted to one another. Going through the “will they, won’t they” when it comes to staying together.

A heart-warming and heartfelt story. A realistic love story that is emotionally charged. A love story that knows no bounds – sexuality, colour, or age. We all carry baggage and it’s how we adapt and fit another person into our lives once we fall in love.

Loving anyone requires faith that the person won’t crush your heart. It’s very painful. It requires hope, optimism, and living in the moment. No one is bound to us. They come and go on free will. The very fact that they chose us out of free will to be with us is wonderful! We too have free will to learn, grow and love without being chained down with promises. We don’t know what the future holds! 

From the Mountain to the Waterfall

Come one, come all

Lace up your boots

It’s time for the hike

Side by side

Or single file, if you like

Pack your bag

With new & the old

The familiar, yet unfamiliar

Dress for the cold

Off on the journey, sticks in the ground

The guide leads the way

No map to be found

One foot in front of the other

The sun up ahead

The path unfamiliar

Companions, friends, lovers

Waiting to be led
