As a nurse and a woman, who intended to have a family, I did not think too far ahead and any thoughts on how it would manifest itself in relation to my nursing career were limited to family-friendly options. However, this phrase became embedded in my subconscious and would end up influencing my goals, dreams, and aspirations both personally and professionally.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For me, having it all was not based on greed or a materialistic wish list, instead, it described the tight rope walk that was my life, a finely balanced juggling act between my career, and my family. The truth was that I had survived a period in my life that physically and emotionally pushed me to the edge, and I was literally saved by the deep-seated love for my children. Now as I looked forward there was a ray of light beckoning and telling me it was time to start over.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Might this be my happy ever after at last?</span></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3DlF9Bt" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3375" data-original-width="2115" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxGB2R86nNf61ip6jG0TgZT2ycV6mxcNP8eEZoovGxmFNw-Yfo6_PneQrfwjpHJ83ZQZjsjLBGdta0QNNaxlLuYxXtaSKs5xvhEyiHH7YsbWP26l8gp-oWmt5jvdqV_rD7szVqk8X0qtqKTTLExk1lmAViVvfCp0uutNWxmg67iFVPMYtsp1rZoP3WZQ/s320/The%20Nomadic%20Nurse%20Series%20(10).jpg" width="201" /></span></b></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 1cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-size: large;">In
the words of the singer, and songwriter Beyonce, is my love affair with
nursing, “a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare?” To be honest it has been a
combination of the two, since I qualified in 1986, for a variety of reasons.
However, despite the challenges and circumstances that could have been made
easier by walking away or diluting my passion for my nursing career, here I am
still in awe of the privilege it is to be able to call myself a nurse.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 1cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-size: large;">Over
the years, since I entered the realm of nursing, I have experienced some of the
many facets that make up the ever-expanding and developing healthcare sector.
The majority have indeed been a sweet dream for me. I can recall only a few
nightmare nursing situations that I have found myself in and for that I am
eternally grateful as it has added to my love affair with nursing. I feel
fortunate and privileged that on my journey I have met, practiced with, and
worked alongside numerous unique, highly qualified, and experienced individuals
who have added numerous positive encounters to my nursing journey and healthcare
experiences. One of my early nursing career mentors told me that my nursing
qualification was the key to, “Having it all,” and that I should protect my
registration against all odds. At the time I had no idea of the magnitude
surrounding this advice and I could not foresee any event or issues that would
threaten my registration or my career if I always did my best, worked hard, and
maintained and applied my professional knowledge. The thought of my
registration giving me the opportunity to have it all was exciting, but I had
no idea what that meant or could look like for me or my career. Why would I
need to protect my registration, and from what? That said, as I did with all
advice and guidance from my mentors, I stored this statement away in my
subconscious. Little did I know, or realise, that events would happen both in
my personal and professional life that would challenge my career and make me
recall and heed this sage advice. </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 1cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdKjxhPF5uKMnDTLBWjG6Is64CLE8Lwak4iQDI00YcUbrgdqIWk8-elN9iOYdzCLPDHm_HB-cUccXQqMPb2dyZNe1dwN4O6aDGzULbIMQ_rnlTHJw9KuyYaJ9qFRJbZUjsDDOg6PNu84LiLhAvOvTEsdktJFRjDN0iZS9JE2xCMrjZE0lCJJ7TyvN24A/s624/profile%20new.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="624" data-original-width="613" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdKjxhPF5uKMnDTLBWjG6Is64CLE8Lwak4iQDI00YcUbrgdqIWk8-elN9iOYdzCLPDHm_HB-cUccXQqMPb2dyZNe1dwN4O6aDGzULbIMQ_rnlTHJw9KuyYaJ9qFRJbZUjsDDOg6PNu84LiLhAvOvTEsdktJFRjDN0iZS9JE2xCMrjZE0lCJJ7TyvN24A/s320/profile%20new.jpg" width="314" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; text-indent: 1cm;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Continue reading as an ebook or paperback</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; text-indent: 1cm;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Click the links below:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; text-indent: 1cm;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3Dqhyjd" target="_blank">Amazon</a> and all online stores via <a href="https://books2read.com/HavingItAll22" target="_blank">Books2Read </a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; text-indent: 1cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3dbfeBS" target="_blank">Paperback available on Amazon</a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; text-indent: 1cm;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p></p>Sarah Jane Butfieldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14056863818596652917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4788481249069685000.post-62410819894210627812022-09-05T09:42:00.000+01:002022-09-05T09:45:53.036+01:00First look at some of the #photographs from 'Having It All' ahead of the #book launch<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3q3xEr0" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="7031" data-original-width="4406" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ7KY6Sm4MeESEkCYBsb_m6pxHCjCP28hEFVBCakEAExU6MQO_yaP0qqqiihMYB_hjVgpfqc-I92ffRhL6W74UcPmtk_t3IHjYrZgiFqVN2EIlI-aiZJ-_kETRyJPc-yFO7a0lCGidsYvtfs02ndM6lCTxBplIjVooMh3jYrc-QqPoWYLBMmyWh4m6Uw/s320/The%20Nomadic%20Nurse%20Series%20(4)%20(1).jpg" width="201" /></a></div><h2 style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />The wait is almost over...<br />Book 3 in The Nomadic Nurse Series launches on 14th September 2022</h2><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3q3xEr0" target="_blank">Having It All - My love affair with nursing</a></span></b></div><h3 style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">available in ebook or paperback format</span></b></h3><h3 style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3wQq4DW" target="_blank">On preorder now only 99c/99p </a> but not for much longer!</span></b></h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The book picks up the story at a time when my nursing career was on hold with no prospects of a return to my beloved career, which I had worked so hard to achieve.

As a nurse and a woman, who intended to have a family, I did not think too far ahead and any thoughts on how it would manifest itself in relation to my nursing career were limited to family-friendly options. However, this phrase became embedded in my subconscious and would end up influencing my goals, dreams, and aspirations both personally and professionally.<br />For me, having it all was not based on greed or a materialistic wish list, instead, it described the tight rope walk that was my life, a finely balanced juggling act between my career, and my family. The truth was that I had survived a period in my life that physically and emotionally pushed me to the edge, and I was literally saved by the deep-seated love for my children. Now as I looked forward there was a ray of light beckoning and telling me it was time to start over.<br />Might this be my happy ever after at last?</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"></h3><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">99c/99p discounted price last only until release day </span></h2><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Get your copy on preorder now!</span></div><span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">(The regular price will be £3.99/$4.79 ) </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="animation-name: none !important;

However, this phrase became embedded in my subconscious and would influence my goals, dreams, and aspirations both personally and professionally. The art of having it all is rooted in the belief that you already do have it all and my vision of having it all was not based on greed or a materialistic wish list, instead, it described the tight rope walk and the finely balanced juggling act that was my life, my career, and my family. The truth was that I had survived a period in my life that physically and emotionally had pushed me to the edge, and I was literally saved only by the deep-seated love for my children. As I held onto my dream of a brighter, better future for me and the children a ray of light appeared at the end of the tunnel, with an inner voice telling me to start over, could this be my chance to have it all and be happy ever after or were there more significant challenges ahead? </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="animation-name: none; text-align: left; transition-property: none;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">Publication day will be the 14th September 2022, the publication anniversary of the multi-award-winning book 1, Ooh Matron!</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3NGaaSc" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="488" data-original-width="328" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC-tAfyhHqyCjMzgjAPcIZ-y4SQHSQq3Uk5pBLUfpnVgZx9r7R9qIjFJ8X_mHHT4eauVgMi2VaxEJ9QjcqRHM37L7fKDR9HNQ8uO0Jzj09Vz2rgVOhEu7uIZz-Ehuvv_UGQWWucaaPyAjrTGrRSqz4ciMMXECbxyajVO8Jtn3tBWn5QKMkOP8hvx5CQw/s320/ooh%20matron%20awards.jpg" width="215" /></span></a></span></div><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">Pre-orders will start soon at a special discounted price, so watch this space.</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">To celebrate the cover makeover of Bedpans to Boardrooms, and the pre-launch of book 3, there is 99c/99p sale now running, so what better time to catch up on the story so far...</span><p></p><p style="animation-name: none; text-align: left; transition-property: none;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3NGaaSc" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2250" data-original-width="1410" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl63QvEGoYQoV9sqCNSEURMVIUNDxJ9XPD6fWaTGsGEPxERjY6ByS71Uq3eSp1vmqlDt-D3RWc0qLxE5QU7C7u23jruTmv8pHOC5-47EL1WvwuUERTwJc9qY6xpi44qn05Z1QzMaTZsvbSFMQDyKDosx6YnR6uvphi_QyT3dGEUqqsCGjVREsRKQv5Dw/s320/The%20Nomadic%20Nurse%20Series%20(5)%20(2).jpg" width="201" /></span></a></span></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">The Nomadic Nurse Series</span></h2><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #0f1111; white-space: normal;"><b>5-star professional reviewers say:</b></span></span><p></p><p style="animation-name: none; text-align: left; transition-property: none;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #0f1111; white-space: normal;"><b><br /></b></span></span><i><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #0f1111; white-space: normal;">"I would liken it to Call The Midwife in its style and content"<br /></span></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #0f1111; white-space: normal;">"I laughed out loud at the hilarious antics, and was sobered by the genuine emotional moments that all health professionals will recognise."<br /></span></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #0f1111; white-space: normal;">"This is a book that will make you laugh and cry and you’ll feel better for it - The perfect prescription."<br /></span></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #0f1111; white-space: normal;">Bookworm "This funny, yet poignant nursing memoir has Sarah Jane's trademark honest writing style which shines through in every story she tells. From starting her student nurse training in Essex to coping with patients in happy, sad and heart-breaking situations. It gives you a young woman's view into the realities of entering the world of nursing in the 1980’s.

break in writing, publishing, and blogging during my marriage break-up and
divorce, and returning to writing full-time has been a long-held dream of mine.
I longed to continue sharing my stories to inspire and motivate others to
follow their hearts and dreams. I must admit it has been daunting writing this
book as self-doubt set in about whether I could complete it, and I am extremely
happy to report that I did it!<br />
I am so grateful for the support of my close friends and family, encouraging me
and believing in me during the times when I was unsure if I could make this a
reality, however now that the book is complete and in the hands of my
incredible editor Martin I am enjoying the preparation for the pre-order
launch, title and cover reveal in addition to the revamping of my back
catalogue. <br />
As part of this revamp book 2 in <a href="https://amzn.to/3mKjwRO" target="_blank">The

may appear counterproductive as my time should be spent writing, however, I
justify this to myself in two ways. Firstly I believe that reading, especially
across multiple genres, makes you a better writer. Secondly, for me, downtime
away from my writing is important to prevent author overwhelm.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span face="Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b>Is it a conscious or subconscious decision?</b></span></span></p><p><span face="Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The desire to read more comes with the need for more books and it

last 38 days and realised they have been a mixture of romance novels and new
for me sports personality autobiographies. Those of you that know me will also
know that I have no knowledge or interest in sport, which begs the question, what is it about
these books that drew me in? After further consideration of these subconscious
book choices, I discovered that my book choices reflected my desire to achieve
my goals, to be the best that I can be as a parent, grandparent, family member,
friend, writer, and book promoter. There are many sports personalities that have
inspirational and motivational stories to share about how they overcame obstacles
to achieve success in their given sport or how they coped with challenges
caused by their success, physical or psychological factors. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span face="Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Let me know in the comments how you choose your books? <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span face="Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Is

Despite numerous attempts to get back to some form of writing or book promotion, even in some small way over the last 4 years, nothing seemed to work and it became frustrating that I couldn't feel or pursue the passion that had previously filled my life. The harsh reality is that the act of writing and publishing is all or nothing for me. I am not conditioned to do 'half a job' in any area of my personal or professional life. To feel productive and add value to any project I need to give 100% to every element and this meant facing the fact that until I was in a position to do that I would continue to be the author in the background watching my author friends pursue their passion the way I used to. I felt unable to contribute or talk in our normal forums, despite encouragement, because I felt as if I didn't belong or deserve to be there.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><i>A rescue mission originally thought of as lasting for a year or two turned into a 35 year lifetime love affair with a beautiful old building.</i></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There were to be battles royal with neighbours not wanting their status quo to be altered, and with the local fire authority who sought to impose draconian new safety measures. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">John Searancke came to the role of hotelkeeper almost accidentally, and most definitely with much reluctance. After his parents’ marriage fell apart, he was dragooned in, at the age of 22, to pick up the pieces of their new venture, a barely-trading country house hotel that had, frankly, seen better days. Not only was it posting an annual loss, but the fabric of the building was crumbling and there was no money left to make improvements. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Over the years, and with the steepest of learning curves, the grand old building was renovated and transformed to meet the requirements of the modern discerning traveller. Accolades for the hotel and its restaurant were won; together they became a well-regarded destination for a number of celebrities – and those that deemed themselves to be celebrities but were not. Stories abound featuring idiosyncratic guests, overbearing public bodies, fractured family life and animals of all shapes and sizes. The local fire station next door was demolished one foggy night, people were frightened by flying dogs and snakes in the long grass, and there were, as befits a country house, strange goings on in the night. Many were the guests who checked in who really should not have been seen together. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a tribute to all the people behind the scenes who helped to make the hard-won transformation into a great success.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>A SAMPLE</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile, for my part, I recalled the tale of how one morning, on the way to the new kitchen, and walking through what remained of the old original hotel kitchen, I thought that I had been transported into another lifetime, a cross between Dante’s Inferno and a Victorian Christmas. I had stopped dead in my tracks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There at the far end of the room was an unrecognisable person covered almost entirely in feathers. Any feathers not attached to that person were swilling around the room like a cloud, all but obscuring the far doorway, before landing softly to form a light covering on the floor tiles, much as I imagine the interior of a duvet to be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On closer inspection, the mystery person turned out to be my mother! What had got into her mind I do not know, but she had, unbeknownst to anyone else, decided that her contribution to that particular Christmas was going to be the plucking of all of the pheasants that had just been delivered. Swooping on the box of birds and snatching them away from the hapless potboy, she maneuvered herself into a spare space, which happened to be adjacent to the top of a chest freezer. Clearly, tidiness was not going to be her watchword during this process. Feathers were pulled out, legs and heads were chopped off with gay abandon, and finally, the right hand was plunged into the bloody interior, emerging clutching a large handful of intestines, slimy heaps of which adorned the top of the freezer. Cleaning up after her was a bit of a trial, but I was glad that she had made the effort. I suppose that she could identify that with long bygone times and tasks that she had undertaken all those years ago.</span></div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;">"</span><span style="font-size: large;">The Reluctant Hotelkeeper by John Searancke is an engaging memoir that takes readers into the life of the author who ended up reluctantly being a hotelkeeper, and how his rescue mission ended up being a love affair with an old building. His parents had bought the place in the countryside to save their crumbling marriage, and the author was pulled into this venture when he was just 22. The role of a hotelkeeper is not as easy as many think because the reality of life in a hotel is very different, and the hours required to make it a success are punishing. The memoir is also a tribute to all the people who worked behind the scenes and helped in making this grand transformation a huge success.</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>The memoir is straightforward and honest, entertaining and insightful, and the author opens up about the difficulties he faced, and how he managed to keep his faith in long-term planning. There are a lot of interesting stories about eccentric guests, how many guests who checked in should not have been seen together at all, and how it ended up being one of the favored stops for a number of celebrities. The author goes through the entire process, speaking about transforming the hotel methodically and in detail, taking readers along with him and his experiences while getting the old building renovated to cater to the needs of a modern traveler. There is not one boring moment in this memoir and the positive narration and outlook make this memoir an encouraging and motivating read. The author's story and experiences are enriching, and the ups and downs of his life and the accolades he received for the hotel and its restaurant will encourage many readers out there to become hotelkeepers."</i> - </span><span style="font-size: large;">Readers' Favorite(Mamta Madhavan)</span></div>

<b style="font-size: x-large;">‘Many years after the deaths of my parents, my aunt handed me a box filled with letters that my father had written to my mother over the period from 1940 to 1945. This was the starting point of a journey for me to rediscover the father I had never really known...’ </b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the story of John Searancke’s parents, told mostly from the side of his father, Eddie Searancke, from the time of his calling up in early 1940 to his release from a prisoner of war camp in Germany in 1945, thence his return to England to try to pick up the pieces of his old life. Nothing could ever be quite the same afterwards. </span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The letters take readers through five captivating years, telling of the ups and downs, the plots and counterplots, as Eddie rose through the ranks to end his war as a captain, elevated to that rank in the field as his troops faced the formidable might of the SS Panzers. The letters also reveal where his battle came to an abrupt end, in an orchard surrounded by the enemy and captured after a series of bloody skirmishes as the British army spearheaded its way from the beaches of Normandy. The journey as a prisoner across France and Germany in a truck, with comrades dying each day, may be as hard to read as it is to tell, particularly when a new life and new harsh rules had to be learned and rigidly enforced in a prison camp in northern Germany, the final destination. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is written as part memoir, part fictionalised retelling and partly in letter format; John draws together all sources to recreate the five years of war and hardship that the letters span.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">On the brink of retirement, John and his wife Sally are determined to end a life at the grindstone in grimy and wet Lancashire. Together with their beloved Jack Russell/Staffie cross, Freddie, a rescue dog from the local RSPCA, they embark on the journey of a lifetime and relocate to the island of Tenerife. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Selling up, they make the move to the north of Tenerife, a part almost unknown to the casual tourist – their very own hidden paradise, a world away from the 'tourist trap' that is the south of the island. Relaxed and surrounded by stunning coastal views, life in their new home, set amidst orange groves and banana plantations, is very different indeed! The weather is fantastic, the temperature idyllic, the people so friendly and the cost of living outrageously low… what more could they ask for? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Adjusting to life abroad, and all of the costs that come with it, are explained in the book – from buying a new home and sorting out living taxes, to integrating into the local community and taking the dreaded Spanish driving test. Follow John and Sally as they learn a new language and take on a couple of new hobbies, while Freddie takes off on some unbelievable (but true!) exploits with his new canine friends. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With a colourful collection of characters, travelling anecdotes that stretch from the English Midlands and all the way through mainland Spain in an old classic car, and some not so perfect moments that bring us back down to earth from time to time, this is a series of adventures that you will not want to miss. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dog Days In The Fortunate Islands is an ideal read for those contemplating retirement, moving to the Canary Islands or an extended trip through Spain. The book will also appeal to any dog lovers and holidaymakers who enjoy an interesting story. </span></div>

<b>Prologue<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<b>Silo Six, Toldax.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>The sudden blast from the alarm pulled him from his reverie.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>“Luka get over here now, we’ve got an unauthorised intruder,” he said urgently. As soon as the words left his mouth he regretted them.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>“Isn’t by its very nature of being an intrusion make it unauthorised?” Luka replied, his voice coming through as if he was standing next to him.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>“Just get the fuck over here,” he said. In all the months the three of them had been stationed there this was the first time anything had broken through the boring routine.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>The alarm was strident and he could hardly think straight. As the door opened behind him he heard Luka say, “Can’t you shut that thing off, can hardly hear myself think?”</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>He was already on it and the sudden quiet was almost as disconcerting as the alarm had been shocking.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>“There’s someone in the elevator,” he said unable to tear his eyes from the bank of monitor screens in front of him.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>“We’re not due to be relieved yet, are we?” Luka asked already knowing the answer.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>“You’d better get Vasiliy up, this could get tricky,” he said.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>“Have you got visuals on the intruder?” Luka asked as he accessed the three way comm channel they all shared whilst inside the silo via his Neural Interface.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>“No, it’s being jammed,” he said. He took out his sidearm from the holster on his hip and jacked the slide to prime the battery clip. His Magerov P9 was now ready to fire.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>He heard Luka standing behind him do the same.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>“What now Tovaric, it’s your call,” Luka said.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>Without taking his eyes from the monitor screens arrayed before him, he said, “Computer, initiate full lock down procedures, Captain Leonid Ilyich commanding, authorisation code Alpha Zero One.”</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>Without prompting Luka said, “Lieutenant Luka Petrovich, authorisation code Beta Zero One, implement.”</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>Leonid turned to look at the man behind him, his grey eyes wide in confusion as he said, “It’s not working.”</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>He saw Luka’s eyes dart back to the monitor screens, his brow furrowing in concern. He spun back around to what caused such concentration to see each screen go dark, one at a time.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>“How are they doing that?” Luka asked.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>“Somehow they’ve taken over the system. We have no idea where they are or how many of them there are.” </b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>Leonid stood up; his arms extended holding the P9 in a double handed grip. He nodded to Luka and they both headed for the door. They stood either side of it as Luka opened it ready to fire if a target presented itself. The corridor beyond was empty though so Leonid gestured to Luka to check it out as he gave cover.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>He watched as his friend ventured out of the command centre looking first right then left.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>“Clear.” Luka said so Leonid followed him into the empty corridor.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>“Wait,” Luka held up a hand halting Leonid, “What’s that?” he added and Leonid heard it too. Before either of them could do anything a group of large, powerfully built men armed with assault pulse rifles rounded the bend at the far end of the corridor to their right.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>“Halt, identify yourselves,” Leonid ordered aiming his P9 at the figure in front of the group.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>“Take one more step and I will open fire,” he added when they ignored him. Seeing he had no choice Leonid gestured for Luka to follow his lead but before he fired he saw the lead intruder bring up the muzzle of his rifle and fire.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>The pulsed plasma bolt struck Leonid’s torso and sent him crashing into Luka. The pain was immediate and overwhelming. He found his strength had deserted him and had difficulty in breathing.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>The corridor had somehow tipped over onto the side until he realised he was lying on the floor.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>He saw flashes from other rifles pass by him and heard a body hit the floor out of sight behind him and knew it must be Luka who had been shot.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">
<b>Light was fading fast as his life drained away and the last thing he remembered was looking up into a pair of opaline green eyes before darkness engulfed him.</b></div>

After work she joins her friend, Whit, to celebrate his Judge of the Year nomination. When she goes to return his jacket he left in the bar she finds herself smack in the middle of a crime scene. The doors to his home and security gates are wide open, his dog is nowhere to be found, the safe is empty, an ex-wife is standing at the top of the stairs and the Judge is face down in a pool of blood.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The problems only get bigger. The list of gang members the judge sentenced is longer than the line waiting for king cakes at Mardi Gras. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Besides a list of felons with a long reach for revenge, the police find the Judge had a list of ex-wives, girlfriends and women he had wronged, not to mention enough gambling debts to rival the National deficit. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Brandy is front and center at the crime scene when her ex boyfriend, NOPD Captain Dante Deedler, shows up. Will they reconcile their differences when she finds information regarding the case? Will Dante be willing to set aside differences and let her help the police in the investigation? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">New Orleans has long had a reputation for crime and corruption. Has Brandy stumbled into a world where doing a good deed might get her good and dead?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Chapter One </span></b></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Lancey’s restaurant and bar is one that many in the neighborhood couldn’t afford to frequent. This was not the place to celebrate anything ordinary. Lancey’s hosted an influential crowd whose New Orleanian blood ran the shade of blue specific to the privileged class. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The clientele was the political elite of the city. Mirrors on the dining room walls allowed patrons to discreetly watch and observe every person at every table. A former mayor eating with several council members was a regular. Their caricatures appeared on the walls over the mirrors along with the famous and infamous New Orleans had to offer. Some were leaders in the community, while others’ malfeasance left them waiting for indictments or verdicts to be rendered. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Frances Whitmer, I’ve known since grade school, now a Judge, made no secret about wanting his caricature on Lancey’s wall. He used or abused anyone he thought could help make it happen. After the local news rag published their Annual Best of New Orleans list with Whit as Judge of the Year, he was sure his face would soon look down into the room. It was the reason for today’s celebration. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">My name is Brandy Alexander, and no, it’s not a stage name nor am I an exotic dancer or stripper on Bourbon Street. I work in an unglamorous fraud detection unit at a major telecom firm in downtown New Orleans. My gift, or claim to fame, is I can find discrepancies in patterns—from numbers to just about everything. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The traffic from my office on Poydras to Lancey’s uptown took only twenty minutes via Tchoupitoulas Street, a direct route along the river with very few signal lights. Jiff Heinkel, a criminal attorney and the man I am now dating, is also a friend of Whit’s, and waiting for me to join him in the bar. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The bar area was packed with those considered the inner circle and long-standing friends of Whit who worked to get him elected just two short years ago. At thirty-five he already had made a name for himself as a brilliant trial lawyer for the prosecution. But he wanted the power and prestige only sitting on the bench would give him. He’d run for Judge in New Orleans Parish Criminal Court and won. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Whit sat at the bar holding court with his campaign manager and Jiff. When Jiff saw me, he motioned to the bartender and a drink was waiting for me by the time I squeezed my way past those vying for an audience with his honor. As I kissed Jiff hello, I felt a tug on my shoulder-length blonde hair from Whit trying to get my attention. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Well, if it isn’t Miss Brandy Alexander,” Whit’s said in his normal voice, which could be heard over jackhammers busting up concrete. He was at least a foot talker than almost everyone, except NBA players, which helped his booming voice to travel, a fact he was oblivious to. My dad once described Whit’s six feet seven height as a long drink of water. “If you’re ever gonna give me a kiss on the lips, this is the day to do it,” his voice bellowed over the din in the bar while his eyes darted over the crowd taking in those arriving, leaving or just watching, “I’m really popular today.”</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Never gonna happen,” I said kissing Jiff hello. I nodded to Whit’s campaign manager, Justine—soon to be wife number four. She had a perpetual stoic expression on her face that never showed a hint of emotion. Could it be Whit’s attraction to Justine had to do with her name? It wouldn’t surprise me since he named his dog, Justice.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Get over here, we’re saving a seat just for you, baby. That alone deserves a kiss,” he boomed over me until I gave him a peck on the cheek in greeting. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Justine was the love interest du jour. She started as his campaign manager, and was now his law clerk. Her job was to get him to meetings on time, home after celebrating, like tonight, or after the endless political dinner parties on his agenda. I imagined her driving skills were not the only thing Whit appreciated about her. She was Chinese, smart and twenty something. Add a facial expression that made it impossible to know what she was thinking, plus she was tall, brunette and wore expensive clothes that showed off her dynamite figure. Tonight she was wearing a body hugging sheath in a nude color which made her appear, well…nude. While Justine and I are the same height, 5’9”, I’m blonde and have what many call a great figure, men didn’t walk into walls looking over their shoulder at me, like they did staring at Justine’s exotic beauty. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Justine decided it was time to go. As she ushered Whit by the elbow to the door, he boomed, “Don’t stay out late, all of you. Monday is a school night. There’s a long week ahead of us.” </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> He glad-handed all his pals who showed up to celebrate with him on the way out. I spotted August Randolph and Pierre LeBlanc, two of Whit’ golfing buddies with serious looks on their faces as Whit shook their hands. They both left moments after Whit and Justine.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">There were quite a few friends and colleagues who only showed up to stay in his good graces. Whit had a big mouth and would broadcast anything he thought would make someone feel uncomfortable under the guise of a joke. Many did not find him amusing. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Jiff and I finished our drinks and started to leave when I noticed Whit’s jacket on the back of my chair. I picked it up and checked the pockets to make sure he didn’t leave his wallet or keys in one. All I found was a cellophane wrapped praline in a side pocket. It was from his run for office and said ‘Whitmer for Judge’ on the wrapper.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>“I’ll drop it off to him,” I said to Jiff as we made out way out the door. “It’s on my way home.” Jiff put his arm around my shoulders and even with four inch heels, he was still three inches taller than I was. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>“Brandy, it’ll take you an hour,” Jiff said rolling his eyes. “Getting past the security gate and in the front door adds fifteen minutes to your stop. Gracefully avoiding an invitation to have yet another celebratory drink, will require a couple of white lies and a lot more time.” He kissed me good night and added, “Try not to get sucked in. I’ll call you later.” </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I waited in the driveway for the gates to open after I punched in the security code of Whit’s home. It was the same code he’d used since high school—007. I was about to call his cell when I noticed the front door was ajar by several inches. Something was off. If nothing else, Whit’s dog, Justice should be running around barking in the yard. Then I saw the iron gate had not automatically closed and locked by the security system. When I got to the massive leaded glass front door I pushed it open with the back of my hand far enough to step inside. The security panel was not blinking nor was the system displaying the green on light. It appeared to be disarmed. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The feeling I was being watched made me look up to the top of the stairs. There was Suzette, the Judge’s second and third ex-wife—Whit married her, divorced her, remarried her, then re-divorced her. She was standing with her hands on her hips staring down at me. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>“Suzette, what are you doing here? You scared me half to death,” I said and put a hand on by chest. The staircase in the grand center hallway started at the end of the first two room and the landing set it back two more rooms overlooking the beveled glass front doors and marble foyer.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“I could ask you da same thing,” she said in her unmistakable y’at accent. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“I stopped by to drop off Whit’s jacket. He left it at the restaurant,” I said and held up my arm with the jacket draped over it by way of proof. “When I got here both the gate and front door were open and the security system isn’t on.” I said. “Did you disarm it?” </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>“The alarm was already off. I came in da kitchen and went up da back stairs,” Suzette said. “He was probably drunk when he got home and forgot to lock up when he left to take Justice for a walk.” </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Whit’s not here?” I asked and noticed the doors to his study just off the foyer were closed. That’s odd, I thought. I’ve never seen that door closed in all the years I’ve been coming to this house. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“His office door is closed,” I said. “Don’t you think that’s odd?” </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Whit is odd.,” she said. “I’m here for my son’s tuition money he’s supposed to have sent me a week ago. Whit is always late sending it to me. I want to get it and leave before he gets back.” Suzette had a fiery temper and once she was revved up, she was hard to throttle down. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Was Justice here?” I asked. “Did you see or hear him when you came in the back?” I asked wondering if Justice ran out the front door and gate. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Some watchdog. You’d think he’d at least bark at me. Dat dog never liked me,” she said turning to go to one of the upstairs rooms.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Wait,” I said a little too loudly, but it made Suzette stop. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Whit is probably stumbling around da neighborhood taking his precious Justice for a stroll,” she snarled. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“So, you haven’t seen Whit or Justice?” I asked. I had a cold feeling crawling up my back. Whit never left the alarm off when he wasn’t home. All of us knew the code and just let ourselves in if he was expecting us. He only turned it off if he was home and let someone in.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“How many times I gotta tell you dat?” she snapped and puffed out a breath. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Suzette stood at the top of the stairs while I opened the massive office doors that were normally left pocketed into the wall on either side. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Whit!” I gasped when I saw him on the floor in a pool of blood. I didn’t need to touch him to know he was dead.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">Ember harbors a number of fears. One stems from a bad date and prevents her from getting intimate. The other is her new-found magic abilities. Both are holding her back when it comes to the hot nursing student that just wants to be with her, however she’ll take him. She strives to overcome her past so she can relax in the arms of the man she loves, but she’ll need to embrace her future if she is going to save his life.</span></div>

Added to that, she is having strange dreams about her ancestor, Mary Parker, who was one of Salem’s witches. Her human roommates remove most of the eeriness of her predicament, but the intangible roomie is making himself at home too. After a close call, the identity of her resident ghost is revealed.

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">FROM THE AUTHOR:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">When I sit down to write a story, the characters are as real to me as if they are people I know. Perhaps more than any others, Captain Jane has always lived in my head as a fully-formed person in three dimensions. I know her so well, I always think I know exactly what she will say or do. It’s always fun when she surprises me, though! When I wanted to do the first version of the book cover, I went looking for an artist who could take what was in my head and bring Jane to life on a digital canvas.</span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">A rescue mission originally thought of as lasting for a year or two turned into a 35 year lifetime love affair with a beautiful old building.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">There were to be battles royal with neighbours not wanting their status quo to be altered, and with the local fire authority who sought to impose draconian new safety measures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">John Searancke came to the role of hotelkeeper almost accidentally, and most definitely with much reluctance. After his parents' marriage fell apart, he was dragooned in, at the age of 22, to pick up the pieces of their new venture, a barely-trading country house hotel that had, frankly, seen better days. Not only was it posting an annual loss, but the fabric of the building was crumbling and there was no money left to make improvements.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Over the years, and with the steepest of learning curves, the grand old building was renovated and transformed to meet the requirements of the modern discerning traveller. Accolades for the hotel and its restaurant were won; together they became a well-regarded destination for a number of celebrities - and those that deemed themselves to be celebrities but were not. Stories abound featuring idiosyncratic guests, overbearing public bodies, fractured family life and animals of all shapes and sizes. The local fire station next door was demolished one foggy night, people were frightened by flying dogs and snakes in the long grass, and there were, as befits a country house, strange goings on in the night. Many were the guests who checked in who really should not have been seen together.</span></div>

<b><span style="color: #bf9000; font-size: x-large;">A Short Excerpt</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Meanwhile, for my part, I recalled the tale of how one morning, on the way to the new kitchen, and walking through what remained of the old original hotel kitchen, I thought that I had been transported into another lifetime, a cross between Dante’s Inferno and a Victorian Christmas. I had stopped dead in my tracks.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">There at the far end of the room was an unrecognisable person covered almost entirely in feathers. Any feathers not attached to that person were swilling around the room like a cloud, all but obscuring the far doorway, before landing softly to form a light covering on the floor tiles, much as I imagine the interior of a duvet to be.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">On closer inspection, the mystery person turned out to be my mother! What had got into her mind I do not know, but she had, unbeknownst to anyone else, decided that her contribution to that particular Christmas was going to be the plucking of all of the pheasants that had just been delivered. Swooping on the box of birds and snatching them away from the hapless potboy, she maneuvered herself into a spare space, which happened to be adjacent to the top of a chest freezer. Clearly, tidiness was not going to be her watchword during this process. Feathers were pulled out, legs and heads were chopped off with gay abandon, and finally, the right hand was plunged into the bloody interior, emerging clutching a large handful of intestines, slimy heaps of which adorned the top of the freezer. Cleaning up after her was a bit of a trial, but I was glad that she had made the effort. I suppose that she could identify that with long bygone times and tasks that she had undertaken all those years ago.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>This is a love/hate/love story where two hearts from different worlds collide, I'll say no more, you'll have to read the book yourself to find out what happens.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Coping with a past tragedy, Stella lives on hope in the present. She plays the game and hopes that one day her dad will get well and return to the father he once was and could be again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wandering the streets at night, she knows it can be dangerous and yet Stella cannot stop.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Shame is something hard to hide as Stella tells her own story. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Can Kelly save Stella, and will she finally reveal the truth? Then in one final twist, their fate will finally be sealed?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Down by the arches, underneath the fly over I handed out sandwiches. “Here you are, here you go,” I repeated to bundles of blankets.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Thanks,” muffled replies responded. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The noise of traffic from above didn’t matter to those sleeping rough. As I held my hand out with another, ‘Here you go,’ an arm shot out and a hand locked around my wrist. I squealed and tried to pull back but the grip was firm. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A shadowy figure rose in front of me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Hello little girl,” said a voice as I tried to wrench my arm back again. He was wearing a tatty black woolen coat with sleeves that were too short revealing grimy hands. His hair was thick and matted, sticking up like a perm gone wrong. His beard was also matted and his wild eyes told me he was on something. I gasped, my heart racing, my mouth suddenly dry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“I eat little girls,” he said stepping out of the darkness as I stepped backwards.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Let go, please let go,” I whimpered, knowing he wasn’t going to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Come with me, little precious.” He pulled me to the black shadows of an old building.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“No, please. Stop! Let go! Let go!” My pleading fell on deaf ears.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Out of the darkness came a voice. “Let her go.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pivoting round, my captor growled, “Says who?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Let her go,” the voice said again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There was a movement, and another voice joined him. “Leave her alone, we said.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Oh yeah, two of you now. Wanna take me on, do you?” The man’s eyes lit up. “I’m up for a good fight.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Looking round wildly, I couldn’t see anything. I was so terrified, I sobbed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I clutched my red shoulder bag and glanced down at my matching shoes. I felt good in my outfit. With this handsome guy by my side, what could go wrong? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The minute the door opened, I knew I’d made a mistake. The other women were all casually dressed. Tailored jeans and cut off pants with smart casual shoes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kelly did the introductions, and I shook hands with them all. I knew they were judging me, I could see it in their eyes; this stupid overly dressed girl </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Their dazzling false smiles told me they’d had their teeth done. A row of false eyelashes, molded brows, and painted nails stood in front of me with blouses and tops that were made of silk and cashmere. My stomach dropped.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Meredith Wellington receives a call that her sister has been murdered. Her two young nieces land on her doorstep. An instant family is the last thing she needs as she reaches for the top rung of the corporate ladder. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Jeremiah Crown, aka Coach, lives a simple life managing his family’s Kentucky horse ranch. When a damsel in distress decked out in a suit and spiked heels needs assistance, he’s more than happy to help out. Happier still to realize this corporate powerhouse doesn’t recognize him as the man she'd deemed an enemy in high school twenty years earlier. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once she realizes Coach’s identity, any chance of a romantic relationship disappears. When Meredith places her nieces low on her priority list, Jeremiah reconsiders his attraction to her. When danger comes calling, Meredith realizes this kindhearted veteran has the skill set to help her, if only she could set aside her pride to ask. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Can two people overcome past misunderstandings in time to thwart approaching danger?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Valerie Clarizio lives in romantic Door County Wisconsin with her husband and two extremely spoiled cats. She loves to read, write, and spend time at her cabin in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She’s lived her life surrounded by men, three brothers, a husband, and a male Siamese cat who required his own instruction manual. Keeping up with all the men in her life has turned her into an outdoors enthusiast, of which her favorite activity is hiking in national parks. While out on the trails, she has plenty of time to conjure up irresistible characters and unique storylines for her next romantic suspense or sweet contemporary romance novel.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Would you swig a magic potion or plot to kill your husband in order to marry your lover? These are just two of the many romantic and sexual customs from British history that you will explore as eight authors take us through the centuries, revealing that truth is stranger than fiction when it comes to love. From bizarre trivia about courtly love, to techniques and prostitution, you’ll encounter memorable nuggets of provocative information that you'll want to share.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's all here: ménage a trois, chastity belts, Tudor fallacies, royal love and infidelity, marriage contracts (which were more like business arrangements), brothels, kept women, and whorehouses. Take a peek at what really happened between the sheets. Each story provides you with shocking detail about what was at the heart of romance throughout British history.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sexuality and Its Impact on History: The British Stripped Bare chronicles the pleasures and perils of the flesh, sharing secrets from the days of the Anglo-Saxons, medieval courtly love traditions, diabolical Tudor escapades—including those of Anne Boleyn and Mary Queen of Scots—the Regency, and down to the ‘prudish’ Victorian Era. This scholarly yet accessible study brings to light the myriad varieties of British sexual mores.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"As soon as I got offered the chance to review this book, I jumped at it. True it’s not my usual reading material but I was intrigued by the premise of this book, it caught my attention. I do like how very easy to read this is, I have read history compilations before that I found very difficult to connect with and hard to follow, due to the amount of scholarly wording. But this is beautifully written so that everyone can enjoy it. You don’t have to be a scholar or someone with a hundred A level’s in history to be able to enjoy it, I can guarantee that if you enjoy learning about less known aspects of history then this is the book. I am so pleased that I got the chance to read it, it is way beyond my expectations.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>This is a fascinating compilation of stories written by seven incredible female writers who know their craft well, they come together to tell seven stories of how sexuality and the varied custom’s over eras has influenced British History. With a look into all aspects of sexual history including tales of Lady Godiva, Medieval love traditions, shocking tales from the Tudor court and prostitution during the Victorian era.</i></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Each section is carefully crafted and cleverly written, it enriches the mind and this whole book is hugely satisfying, knowledgeable and highly addictive to read. Each chapter is a different story and written by a different author, and as such it keeps the reader engrossed and you are compelled to keep turning the pages to see what comes next and see what new little titbit from history you will garner. Each tale is fascinating to read, they are thorough and wonderfully researched that keeps the whole thing very real and adds to the enjoyment that you get from the overall book.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>There isn’t anything I don’t like about it, it has something from every aspect of history. It is a wonderful read that captivates you and keeps you turning the page.</i></div>

A special stone hidden in a quiet cove in Cornwall more than 200 years ago, is the object of a desperate search by two opposing factions. When Harry and his school friends discover a code whilst holidaying in the cove, they assume it will lead them to hidden treasure. But dark forces, with seemingly supernatural powers, are working against them. The teenagers soon find themselves caught up in a deadly battle, and will be lucky to escape with their lives, let alone get their hands on the treasure.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Richard Smith’s motto: Never give up; it can happen. And his first book, <a href="http://www.timetrap.co.uk/p/about-time-trap.html" target="_blank">Time Trap</a>, is proof of that. </b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>And now. I'm pleased to reveal his new book, The Darziods' Stone, which took seven years to complete, including a couple of years of inactivity, when he struggled with the plot. It's aimed at a teenage readership, but enjoyed by a wide age range and twice the length of Time Trap.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Born in London, the youngest of three children, Richard has loved writing stories since he was nine; and regularly got top marks for his essays at school – where his favorite subject was English. After leaving school, he worked in a succession of dead-end jobs. None brought him as much satisfaction as writing - which he kept up, with his mother’s constant encouragement. Richard credits his father, a taxi driver, who enjoyed writing as a hobby, for his talent with words. </div>

Researching and writing Time Trap took many years of hard work – which Richard describes as a labor of love. One of his proudest moments came when he returned to his junior school to read extracts of the story to 9-year-old pupils, who loved it. He polished up the MS, self-published in 2012, and created the <a href="http://www.timetrap.co.uk/p/the-trail.html" target="_blank">Time Trap Trail</a> for young readers to follow and convinced both the British Museum and the Museum of Childhood to stock the book. </div>
