Send the Healer

Ben had always harboured hopes of becoming more than he was, but nothing could have prepared him for this sudden leap forward. Up until recently, it was him watching others helping the sick where he worked, but now he had the power to do far more than all of them. He could actually take away people’s cancer or diabetes in an instant. The only problem was, he had never healed anyone before, and the person who had given him this power was a complete mystery.

There was only one thing he could do: he was going to have to take a leap of faith. This would mean putting his trust in a person he didn’t fully know. It would mean running the risk of losing all his friends. On top of all that, it would mean facing enemies who were determined to stop him at all costs.

No-one ever told him that believing would be easy, but he would never have imagined it would lead to this much adventure or such a stunning conclusion.

Scrabble Babble Rabble

Four prison inmates are thrown randomly together during recreation time, to play scrabble, with the added zing of occasionally telling stories about a word on the board. The stories reveal their characters and histories, but the scrabble itself is a mere transient remission from the vagaries and harshness of prison life, which continues unabated around them and through them.

We are party to a voyage through calm settled waters of support, camaraderie and story-telling, to storms of violence, abuse and abject despair in a rigid, alien and unforgiving environment. We feel the emotions of the highs and lows of prison life through the victimisation, determination and hope of our players, who ultimately all show resilience in one way or another.

It is a fable about humanity, garnered with wit, insight and encouragement, with a little whodunnit? thrown in for good measure.

Raspberry Juice

Although this is a novel, it is full of true life experiences that we all encounter at times: the break-up of a marriage and the anger and heartache it brings to all who are involved, our children being bullied at school and the pain surrounding that, the feeling of failure, lack of confidence in ourselves and the torture of following the procedures when someone dies, let alone dealing with our emotions. This book offers a possible way to look back at these experiences and view them from a totally different perspective, a more healthy and accepting one and not full of guilt for not being ‘good enough’. We are all ‘good enough’ and we do the best we can with the resources we have at the time, we can do no better. Scattered throughout there are references to books, song lyrics and poetry that give a positive aspect to changing our whole view of our lives and seeing it all as a true learning experience to accept and welcome even though some of our experiences may have been horrendous at the time, there is still a way to gain from them, in retrospect.

Pig

“We can do what we like,” said the burly policemen to Bill. “We’re the law.” That sounded just the sort of job that might suit him. Do what you like with impunity, have a bit of power over folk, and get paid a half-decent wage at the same time. It was the moment of his epiphany, but it was a change of life that brought Bill into a larger game than the one he was used to, a world where more powerful people than he exercised their entitlements, a world where he was returned to a familiar struggle against unfair laws and the plight of desperate people. Using his native wit – and a GCSE in Latin, he would proudly claim – Bill treads a risky path to help foil organised people trafficking, sustained throughout by his sense of humour and an old-school irreverence. If you can’t beat them, join them, may have been his motto, but he learns that sometimes one has to accept there are certain elements of established society that will never be beaten. Bill, however, remains optimistic to the last, he has his own inner advocate for survival, and survive he will.

Perhaps a Jealous Foe

The action begins in 2000 with Louise looking at her past. Then it moves back to 1970, where Louise has everything a contemporary woman could ask for: a loving husband, two children, a beautiful home, a good social life. The family is comfortably off, and while her life is circumscribed by her domestic duties and her involvement with the church, she is content with her lot.

Then, she meets Nicholas, and everything changes. While Nicholas makes his attraction to Louise obvious from the outset, he is apparently as conventional as Louise and too inhibited to proceed with more than flirtation and verbal innuendo. 

The relationship between Louise and Nicholas develops slowly, because of the lack of opportunity, and because Nicholas seems unable to make up his mind what he really wants. When they finally make love, all is not quite as Louise had expected. Nicholas eventually also admits to the secret in his past which Louise has discovered by chance.

The story reaches its climax in a night of passion in which Louise, changes her mind, and exults in having finally got the man she loves so much.

Finally, the story returns to 2000, where the aftermath of that night is revealed.
