Join Donna L. Jones on Tuesday at The Institute to find out how she came to write 'The Rise of Global'. "ONE Language, ONE Version, ONE Vision;"  "ONE Global Law - accept it or be Labelled!" Global - "super or killer language"? Apollos Popov has no doubt. He fears that Global will spread throughout the planet, like a disease eventually killing all Mother Tongues. He believes the spread of Global will usher in a new age of language superiority; a return to just one spoken tongue as in the days before Babel. He is convinced that the consequences for all native languages would be catastrophic. One man is responsible. 'The Rise of Global' tells the story of that one man's obsession to eradicate his true identity and replace it with a new one; one that will afford him power and status, one that will give him a new name - a name that all citizens will recognise as THE LAW...

Join Ken Melber, author of 'A Brush With Chaos', at the Boston Spa Literary Festival on the Saturday 15th July. Ken and two other authors will be at the Methodist Hall speaking about their novels and how they were created. There will also be a Q&A session. Make sure you come along for your chance to find out all about 'A Brush With Chaos'. Karl and Anna consider themselves to be veterans of Africa, having spent three years teaching in Uganda during the brutal despotic rule of Idi Amin Dada. In this semi-autobiographical novel set in the 1970s, they take a teaching post in Nigeria, with the promise of adventure, a high wage, affordable help and the allure of the African pace of life. Were they brave or foolhardy? Perhaps a bit of both. Before leaving, Karl receives a letter from an old friend with the warning to ‘Remember, Nigeria is not Uganda,' which he elects to withhold from Anna who is pregnant with their first child. Living in a remote area of central Nigeria, in a house without electricity and running water, they both need and find the resilience to help them cope with their struggles with culture shock, maladministration, chaos, apathy, violence and bribery, interspersed with moments of humour, happiness and joy.

Peter Morgan is launching his new book 'The Spice Boys' on Thursday 24th August. The event will take place at The Management Office in Manchester. Peter will be available to answer questions about his book and you may even be able to grab yourself a signed copy. It's certain to be a wonderful evening. 'The Spice Boys' is the tale of four young men from Manchester who are homeless and addicted to the legal high ‘spice' which has plagued the city. The novel shows the harsh reality of the hardships, politics and truths of modern day homelessness and how society manages those young people who have been through the care system, prison system and are homeless. The story revolves around Ricky, Mo, George and Vinnie and takes the reader on a twelve-month journey with these individuals from drugs, the care system, prison and life on the streets. Peter Morgan's gritty and distinctly Mancunian novel is an astoundingly relevant and detailed depiction of the realities for those addicted to this horrific drug.
