Moved by their struggle to make sense of such searing loss, Tracy has created an enchanting story about life, death and how to deal with it. Written in verse form for children aged ten and upwards, Afterlife explores the harsh realities of life that can effect us all, at any time and any age..

An ancient relic opens a family up to new beginnings, and dangerous forces, in this captivating new fiction inspired by the

author’s own experiences with losing a child to cancer.

The Eden Tree

By Peter Worthington

John is a happily married businessman, father and grandfather, living in Cheshire, in the heart of England. Happy, that is, until his family face a crisis. His grandson Wesley, son of his daughter Becky, is terminally ill. Darkness has come to Kirmingsham Hall. At the local market, a flower-seller tells John a story of a mysterious box that will change his life and those around him. Assured his destiny is in his own hands, John crosses the globe in pursuit of a religious artefact which has remained hidden for two thousand years. Finally in Tel Aviv he is presented with an antique box containing maps, parchments and a bag of leaves. On his return to the UK John witnesses a miracle. With the box in his possession, John and his family find new friends and enemies; lives are threatened and people die, although some will be healed. With the help of many different people, from all walks of life - from a Mossad Colonel, a group of cyber buffs, and his son James - John’s journey will finally lead him to the discovery of an extraordinary and mysterious tree. But what will this Eden tree mean to John, his family, their faith and their future?

The Eden Tree is author Peter Worthington’s first novel and is inspired by his own experiences with his son, John Wesley, who underwent treatment for cancer but sadly passed away shortly after his seventh birthday. Although a difficult time, Peter has never lost his faith, or exuberance for life, and The Eden Tree is his way of giving his much- loved son a happier ending.

Today Peter Worthington lives in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire with his wife Margaret.

Peter has enjoyed a bright and varied career as a church minister, financial adviser and internet consultant.

Now retired he is busier than ever thanks to his three grandchildren, studying for an Open University Degree in Creative Writing, voluntary work, playing World of Warcraft, serving on the board of a housing association and writing. He has previously published short stories in a number of Christian magazines.

Epic new crime novel explores the real-life goings-on within Sheffield’s underworld,

the South Yorkshire Police and the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA).

S5 Uncovered

By James Durose-Rayner

When a man released on police bail is murdered, Don Chaps, the deputy director of the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), is encouraged by his superiors to find a reason for the killing, beyond the standard, drugs- related likely motive. But there’s another reason why senior officials want Chaps on the case; they want him to eliminate South Yorkshire Police’s internal funding crisis and raise the number of convictions at the same time. With the aid of his executive director, Chaps creates a covert task force which will work solely on achieving these two targets.

In 2008, the BBC commissioned an hour-long documentary following an elite government task force which had been ordered to go undercover in Sheffield for an entire year. Their remit was to use the Proceeds of Crime Act to fill up the police federation’s coffers using illegally gained intelligence and cash, while overlooking - and in some cases even encouraging - major criminal activity, such as murder, kidnapping and torture. But that’s not all. The force was also busy surreptitiously acquiring pre-bargained guilty pleas from defendants, then reneging on those deals, leading to some of the heaviest sentences ever handed out in the UK. However, this programme was never aired.

James Durose-Rayner has over twenty years’ experience in journalism.

He is a member of the Writer’s Guild and the editor of NATM, the UK’s leading specialist civil engineering journal. His writing has been featured in over 210 magazines and his debut indienovel, S63: Made in Thurnscoe, published in 2001, received positive reviews. In 2015, I Am Sam (Clink Street Publishing) and itv Seven (New Generation Publishing) followed to more affirmative acclaim.

An accessible and enlightening guide explaining the powerful role of art as a

taught subject, its connection with science

teaching, and the need to respect its place in academic circles.

Art as Extraordinary Science

By Jenny Waller

Art education has gone through a number of paradigms since its origins in the medieval guilds. Yet ever since joining the university system in the 1970s, art departments have struggled to articulate a contemporary paradigm which accurately reflects what they do, to the extent that it often seems more realistic to say that art can’t be taught at all. At the same time, science departments have struggled with the problem first noted by science historian Thomas Kuhn in 1962 – that the history of science depends on the creative brilliance of ‘extraordinary scientists’ who yet have no place within the confines of traditional university teaching. In Art As Extraordinary Science: A Paradigm For The 21st Century Waller proposes her solution to this long-standing quandary by not only explaining the powerful role of art at the university, but also showing its relevance to the science disciplines.

Art As Extraordinary Science: A Paradigm For The 21st Century is an enriching and informative key text, as well as a real labour of love, which provides a blueprint to other disciplines to teach more creatively and to ensure art departments finally take their rightful place in our academic institutions. The perfect read for educationalists and academic leaders as well as art students and lovers.

Since completing her PhD in Fine Art at Reading in 2014, Jenny Waller is currently developing her practice as a textile artist based in Frome, Somerset. She is also responsible for educational development at the not-for- profit organisation The Simplification Centre. Previously Waller achieved an MBA at Cranfield University after which she moved to Coventry University as head of Graphic Communication before transferring to the private sector as a change communications consultant.

Her husband, her cousin and her shrink;

three people profoundly affected by the spoiled and enigmatic Francesca reveal their stories in this enthralling new book

Errors of Evaluation

about life, love and the Italian upper class.

By Paola Pica

Francesca’s presence pervades the lives of everyone she meets. From the therapist - an ambiguous and even more unscrupulous person than herself - to the husband who, after twenty years of marriage, is left financially ruined and suicidal; and her own cousin, who despite tirelessly attempting to help her in a time of need, has been left betrayed on two separate occasions a decade apart. Three very different characters tell their story about the inscrutable woman who has entered their lives, each one offering their own point of view on who the beautiful Francesca really is. Each has made an error of evaluation which they now realise has prejudiced their lives and their relationships. An omniscient narrator will have the final say.

Absorbing and reflective, Errors of Evaluation by the Italian writer Paola Pica has been translated into English by Janice Burberry for the first time. An exquisite exploration of human behaviour and relationships, it forces readers to analyse their own decisions, questioning whether they are superficial or have a deeper rationale behind them. Pica’s psychologically astute portrayals of her characters and their interplay with the allusive Francesca are born from a lifetime of observing how people operate and interact; her writing encourages us to be vigilant when choosing the people we allow to enter - and remain - in our own lives. While it is tempting to base a life on beauty alone, especially in an age of constant obsession over image, Pica warns that this not the path to fulfilment.

£6.99 / $10.99 Living just outside Rome, Italy, Paola Pica has studied and worked extensively in England and her homeland as a translator and interpreter.

Today she works for various embassies in Rome, as well as focusing on her writing. She is the author of five novels and one short story collection.

Optimistic new life guide prompts us

to question our beliefs, tap into our

The Best You

imagination and reconnect with our

unconscious in order to unlock our full potential.

By Mohammed Haroon

We have only 15% control over our lives; the other 85% comes from our DNA (the colour of our hair or our eyes, for instance) or our innate spiritual make up. All religions and philosophies share a basic tenet of understanding that there is one creator or source - whether we call this creative force God, Nature, the Universe, Consciousness, Vibration, the Matrix, the Field - from where all life and knowledge flows. Human beings have the most powerful brains among all living things; we have the ability to create our own reality. In other words we are co-creators. Mohammed Haroon draws upon the wisdom of age and experience - along with his passionately held belief that the greatest sense of satisfaction in life comes from helping others - to craft this uniquely enriching self-help book, designed with one simple intention: to enable the reader to become the best version of themselves possible and to realise their dreams as a result.

Enlightening, accessible and uplifting, The Best You: Awakening the Co-Creator in You is the perfect read for those looking for a refreshing approach in the field of self-help.

Born in Mirpur in Azad Kashmir, Mohammed Haroon moved to the UK in 1969. Already holding a degree in commerce, he completed two further degrees, in Accountancy and PG (dip) Law. Outside his professional career Mohammed continued to seek additional knowledge in order to discover his identity in the changing world and as well as practicing regular mediation he went on to study numerology, astrology and spiritual healing to seek the truth in these teachings.

Uplifting memoir charting one woman’s mountaineering

and

how

they helped her manage a debilitating childhood stammer, regain self-confidence and become fearless.

Shouting From the Summits

By Kala Ramachandran

At the age of nine, Kala was asked by her primary school teacher to read a passage from a book out-loud. A typical request, but one which proved to be a turning point in Kala’s life as she struggled to get the words out and felt herself becoming increasingly self-conscious. At such a young age Kala wasn’t to know she had developed a stammer and growing up in the late 1980’s in Malaysia there wasn’t much in the way of treatment or understanding. In addition, her father, who suffered from his own mental health problems, dealt with the situation with anger and frustration often shouting at Kala when she struggled to produce words. However, through the confusion one of his stories stuck with her and would inadvertently change her life for the better - the story of the first woman to climb Mount Everest, Junko Tabei - and it was at that moment that Kala realised her life ambition.

Since then the dream to climb Mount Everest has grown, and although still not realised, Kala has gone on to climb fourteen mountains in the past twenty years from Mount Perak in Malaysia to Ben Nevis in Scotland and Mt Aconcagua Base Camp in Argentina. Complimented by a selection of photos from her own adventures, Shouting From the Summits, provides not only a charming and motivational read but also a good dose of inspiration to adventure and travel enthusiasts.

£6.99 / $9.99 Mountaineering enthusiast Kala Ramachandran spends her professional life working for the finance department for Brent Council. She has been a member of the British Mountaineering Council and the British Stammering Association, the latter to whom she will be donating 20% of the royalties from all her book sales. Today she lives in Stanmore, London with her two sons.

A delightfully poignant life manual written

for his daughter on her eighteenth birthday,

How To Live

to help her transition into the adulthood

he feared she might not live to enjoy, as featured in the MailOnline.

By Peter Johns

What do you give your daughter for her eighteenth birthday? After considering dresses, pets and parties, one father gave his daughter something truly special: he wrote a book for her.

In many ways Meg Johns is an ordinary girl, but in one way she is different from most others: at the age of nine she was diagnosed with cancer. This took the form of a tumour that, by the time of her diagnosis, already filled most of her chest cavity. Later, despite months of chemotherapy, a second tumour started to grow. Normally this development is fatal and her parents were told as much. Fortunately, a bone marrow transplant and long sessions of full body irradiation - treatments so severe that doctors were initially reluctant to risk them - saved Meg’s life.

How to Live by Peter Johns, Meg’s father, is his tribute to his daughter’s tenacity. The book was written for someone who was once not expected to live, but who turned into a healthy teenager. Her father based the book on his own imperfect - though eventually successful - life and the lessons he has learned along the way, in the hope that they would both reassure and inspire his daughter. Despite Meg’s incredible recovery, her life was still that of the typical teenager full of bombast, anxiety, humour and stress. Rich with anecdotes — from his strained relationship with academia to setting goals that are challenging but also realistic, to embracing your failures — How to Live is an insightful, refreshing and easy-going life guide not only for those on the cusp of independence but for everyone.

Peter Johns worked in the investment banking sector for over thirty years. Although he retired in 2008, he continues to operate as a private investor and sits on the board of a number of start-up and early stage companies. Johns is also a founding trustee of Autistica, the UK’s largest charity funding research into autism, a cause close to his heart as his youngest son is autistic. A father of four, he today lives in Alderley Edge, Cheshire with his wife Rosie.

For the Love of Grace

thriller.

By AW Rock

A nurse during World War Two, Grace Backer had an early life full of tragedy. But despite everything, she had her young son Tom whom she raised with her dark secrets intact. So when the police come knocking on her door, telling her that Tom has been accused of murder, she refuses to believe it and instead helps her teenage boy escape from East London on a cargo ship bound for Russia. Heartbroken, Grace fears she will never see her son again, but she knows that she’s done all she can to help him embark on a new and prosperous life.

After meeting an ambitious Russian called Sebastian on the journey East, Tom quickly becomes embroiled in his new friend’s family haulage business, even falling for the charms of his sister Natasha. As years pass, and with memories of his mother and childhood fading, Tom feels like he’s finally building a secure new life in Odessa, enjoying success, marriage and even welcoming a young daughter. But all that comes crashing down after a bomb explosion at one of their factories which sets of a sequence of events that expose Tom to the unscrupulous side of the “family business”.

Under the guidance of Uncle Vlad, Tom is dragged down a violent path of revenge which has devastating consequences; after an assassination goes wrong his family become the unintended, tragic victims.

After serving in the British Army for over twentyfive years in the Parachute Regiment, Andy Blackman today lives in Bedworth, Warwickshire and works within in the IT sector. In his spare time he can be found visiting his three daughters and grandchildren.

The introduction of new technology threatens to upend the way of life in a

The Learn

Celtic Druid society as conflicting loyalties pit tribes against one another in this lyrical historical fiction from debut author.

By Tony Halker

Two thousand years before the Romans came, women and men of Britain worshipped the Goddess while developing their technology and culture. Working stone and building trails for their livestock, they made metal, pots and works of beauty. With purpose and endurance, they harnessed nature, laying foundations for a Celtic Druid culture that would spread through what are now England, Wales, Ireland and Europe.

In The Learn, debut author Tony Halker takes a fictionalised look at this mysterious and often misunderstood ancient civilisation that helped shape our world. Owayne is a young Celt in a small group of students studying to pledge their lives to The Learn, the pursuit of knowledge that has helped develop fire, metals and other life-changing technologies.

As these advancements begin to alter how their society operates, tribal and family conflicts arise as many view these changes as blasphemy against Nature the Goddess and a threat to the way of life that has sustained them for hundreds of years.

Born in London, Tony Halker studied geology at Leeds University after which he worked as a geologist, travelling extensively overseas.

Following an MBA at Cranfield School of Management, he became a manager in hi-tec business and later a businessman and entrepreneur. His writing is inspired by powerful natural landscapes and his interest in the people and technologies emerging from those hard places.

This is a real life detective story stimulated by extraordinary happenings on the film

set of ‘Monty Python’s Life of Brian’. The crime is the murder of Jesus Christ and the

aim is to discover and disclose who was the real guilty party.

Crucifixion’s a Doddle

By Julian Doyle

An open and shut case, you assume since everybody knows it was the Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate, who had Jesus Christ crucified. So the starting point for this book has to be, to prove that Pontius Pilate was not the guilty party. Clearly, this is such an outrageous idea that you will dismiss it as fanciful nonsense, or a Monty Python joke. So we are forced to confront your natural skepticism by presenting four pages from the book, about the crucifixion scene in ‘Life of Brian’, that proves, without doubt, that Pontius Pilate was not, and could not have been involved in any way in the killing of Jesus Christ.

Monty Python’s Terry Jones described Julian Doyle as a polymath and it was this varied range of knowledge that made him realize the serious implications of what he witnessed on the set of ‘Life of Brian’, which Doyle claims is the most accurate Biblical film ever made. Obviously as Python’s editor, Doyle has a natural comic and entertaining style but this cannot conceal the fact that this remarkably, detailed study will cause major waves in the field of Biblical research.

Julian Doyle is a writer, director, photographer, editor and has created the special effects for movies, all to the highest level. He is most famous for editing the Monty Python films and for shooting the effects for Terry Gilliam’s Time Bandits and Brazil, which he also edited. His occult movie Chemical Wedding has become a cult classic and his acclaimed play, Twilight of the Gods, about the tumultuous relationship between the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and the composer Richard Wagner, was described by the magazine Philosophy Now as ‘Masterful’. This entertaining but informative, Crucifixion’s a Doddle is Doyle’s third book.

Fifteen Words

striking novel, inspired by the author’s own family history.

Two young doctors form a profound and loving bond in Nazi Germany; a bond that will stretch them to the very limits of human endurance. Catholic Max - whose religious and moral beliefs are in conflict, has been been conscripted to join the war effort as a medic, despite his hatred of Hitler’s regime. His beloved Erika, a privileged young woman, is herself a product of the Hitler Youth. In spite of their stark differences, Max and Erika defy convention and marry. But when Max is stationed at the fortress city of Breslau, their worst nightmares are realised; his hospital is bombed, he is captured by the Soviet Army and taken to a POW camp in Siberia. Max experiences untold horrors, his one comfort the letters he is allowed to send home: messages that can only contain Fifteen Words. Back in Germany,Erika is struggling to survive and protect their young daughter, finding comfort in the arms of a local carpenter. Worlds apart and with only sparse words for comfort, will they ever find their way back to one another, and will Germany ever find peace?

Tenacious carrot, detective inspector Willie

Wortell is back to uncover the deviously delicious mind behind the crime of the

festive season in this hugely entertaining, and utterly unconventional, short story.

Who Killed the Mince Spy?

By Matthew Redford

When Mitchell the Mince Spy is horrifically murdered by being over baked in a fan oven, it falls to the Food Related Crime team to investigate this heinous act. Why was Mitchell killed? Who is the mysterious man with a long white beard and why does he carry a syringe? Why is it that the death of a mince spy smells so good?

Detective Inspector Willie Wortel, carrot and the best food sapiens police officer, once again leads his team into a series of crazy escapades. Supported by his able homo sapiens sergeant Dorothy Knox and his less able fruit officers Oranges and Lemons, they encounter Snow White and the seven dwarf cabbages as well as having a run in with the food sapiens secret service, MI GasMark5.

With a thigh slap here, and a thigh slap there, the team know Christmas is coming as the upper classes are acting strangely- why else would there be lords a leaping, ladies dancing and maids a milking?

And if that wasn’t enough, the Government Minister for the Department of Fisheries, Agriculture and Rural Trade (DAFaRT) has only gone and given the turkeys a vote on whether they are for or against Christmas...

Let the madness begin...

Born in 1980, Matthew Redford grew up with his parents and elder brother on a council estate in Bermondsey, south-east London. He now lives in Longfield, Kent, takes masochistic pleasure in watching his favourite football team snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, is a keen chess player and is planning future food related crime novels.

To counterbalance the quirkiness of his crime fiction Redford is an accountant. His unconventional debut crime thriller, Addicted to Death: A Food Related Crime Investigation was published by Clink Street Publishing last summer.
