RUPERT, CARLA & THE GENERAL. KOBO https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/rupert-carla-the-general ITunes Book Store https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/rupert-carla-the-general/ id1350339317?mt=11 Google play https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=x8ZMDwAAQBAJ Barnes & Noble https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/rupert-carla-the-generalpaul-white/1128003541?ean=9783743856578 Rupert DeVille is happy.

This evening Rupert has planned to surprise his girlfriend, Carla by proposing to her over a romantic meal.

When Rupert is on his way to work that morning, he is snatched off the street by two men in a white van.

Live with Rupert during his abduction, learn about his dysfunctional parents, his fears, his dreams for the future and his love for Carla.

Meanwhile, at home, Carla learns that Rupert is missing.

Carla starts a frantic search to find Rupert and enlists the help of Rupert's employer, George, who is just about to retire.

As Carla searches for Rupert we find out about her Fathers sudden death, her Mothers depression and Carla's own wayward past.

Rupert, Carla & the General is a thrilling suspense romance written with a touch of wit and humour that will keep you turning page after page.

Paul White has the rare ability to bring characters to life, making them real people with feelings, worries and inner doubts, just like you and I. Paul White has masterly crafted Rupert, Carla & the General into a work that leads the reader astray, down the dark alleyways of the past, before bringing them back into the glaring light of the present.

Paul manages to do all this while weaving a mixture of laugh-out-loud humour and offbeat wit into the story.

TALES OF CRIME & VIOLENCE a collection of three books of short, and not so short stories.

The ideas and inspiration are many and as varied as each of the individual tales themselves.

Although all the stories in these books are about committing crime, or being involved in acts of violence, the real story is of the people involved, why and how they came to be in this position, whether they were forced or coerced, willing participants or victims themselves.

Are they committing the crime, or are they simply the victims... sometimes it is not so easy

to tell.

Tales of Crime & Violence exposes the human element of all involved, the stories even ask questions of you, the reader.

Just how far would you go to protect those you love?

The stories Within the Invisible Pentacle may, at first glance, seem a rather eclectic collection, but there are several underlying unifying principles employed in their careful selection.

The titles all have a feminine association as does each story's individual focus, whether direct or implicit.

These stories explore the depths of human character, the quintessence disposition of living and of life itself. Questions we shy from, the ones we are afraid to ask ourselves are unearthed, revealed and brought screaming into the daylight of recognition.

The prevailing factor is, they are written with consideration for our fragile human disposition, the fears, the dreams and wishes, the uncertainties and self-doubts we all carry inside ourselves, the human element of love, of life and of survival.

This is a collection of poignant, emotive, yet entertaining stories everyone should read, at least once.

DARK WORDS We all have dark times in our lives; times when the clouds of uncertainty gather about us, when the shadows in our minds slam shut the doorway of hope.

These are times when the future looks bleak, when tomorrow is nothing more than a harbinger of anguish and our past lives a wasteland of futile labour.

Sitting in darkened rooms, listening to sad songs and reading dark words lends a little comfort to our souls as we contemplate the tattered remains of our world.

This book shares those days, the long cold nights of loneliness and apprehensive dread of what bleakness awaits us when the sun rises.

Like you, I have visited this world of soulless existence. It is where part of me shall always remain, huddled in the gloom, in corners of the deepest recesses of my mind.

T H I S I S N O T A ‘ WA R ’ S T O R Y. Life in the War Zone A collection of poignant, stories and articles, written primarily as fictional accounts, yet based on true experiences from major war zones around the globe.

Each story and article has been formed from interviews, discussions, reports and

dialogues from those directly involved and affected by conflict.

Life in the War Zone brings you the emotional truth about the effects and the long -lasting legacy of pain and suffering, to both combat troops and innocent civilian lives, devastated by war and armed conflict.

Revealed, the cold hard facts; tales from the front line you probably do not want to consider. Situations you do not want to believe are true. Yet these things have happened, are still happening now.

For many, the fight continues long after the last shots of the battle have been fired. Physical trauma, disability and PTSD linger for years, even entire lifetimes, following conflict and struggle.

These are the sad facts of modern warfare.

The Rabbit Joke Are you looking for a special Christmas gift, one which keeps on giving?

Then The Rabbit Joke - as told by ‘Fatboy Pops', is exactly what you are searching for.

This wonderfully entertaining children's book, about a warren of rabbits during a severe winter, has been written as a 'read to me' book; one which parents and older siblings can read aloud to the younger ones.

My own granddaughter, now six years old, reads The Rabbit Joke, (her favourite bedtime storybook), to her one-year-old 'baby' sister.

Children learn by listening, then reading along with an adult, before becoming autonomous confident readers themselves.

The Rabbit Joke was devised to be that book, a book and a story which will be read, over and again, for years and generations to come.

Winning awards in 2017 & 2018 The Rabbit Joke is an outsized (A4) fully illustrated, full colour, perfect bound hardcover, makes an amazing gift and a worthwhile investment in a child's education.

The Rabbit Joke is available worldwide directly from the author's printers

Jacks Dits - Tall Tales from the Mess is the regaling of all those sea stories and ‘true’ tales spun during Standeasy’s and Make & Mends in the ships mess.

The many sailors' yarns are mixed with one or two from the Royal Marines, Pongo’s and even an odd one from a Crab fat, all of which relate to the Royal Navy.

Apart from being exceedingly humorous and entertaining, Jacks Dits captures a period before ‘political correctness’, recording life as it was below decks.

The Andrew, Jack & Jenny A comprehensive recording of traditional and modern Royal Navy Nicknames, including etymology, taxonomy and elucidation Those who have served in the Royal Navy will enjoy this book which also creates a documented recording for posterity.

These issues are portrayed through the characters which inhabit the worlds within the pages of my Novels and Short stories. They are reflected in my Poetry and various essays in my Blogs and Social Media Posts.
