However, everything gets worse when his 19-year-old stepdaughter becomes pregnant with him.

The girls’ biological father and tearful mother, as well as the authorities, are struggling to prevent the family’s tragic drama from escalating.

Dodgson’s Dodo

This is the story of six characters, all birds. What begins as a quirky woodland tale evolves into a challenge to the mismanagement of the environment by humans, and their abuse of power over all other species. There’s banter between the birds, information about the natural world, there’s serious debate and there’s satire. It’s fun and it’s thought-provoking.

The title refers to the fact that Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) immortalised the otherwise extinct dodo in ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’. The dodo was yesterday’s bird, but what will be the fate of tomorrow’s birds, of tomorrow’s humans and of our fragile, suffering planet?

The hero of ‘Dodgson’s Dodo’ is a feisty rook, Rachel, who plays a smart role in this fascinating, imaginative and beautifully realised story. All the birds are real characters, and everyone reading it will be both entertained and better informed. It’s witty and memorable, but above all it’s topical and relevant. Its message is urgent.

Dog's Conundrum

Dog has a problem. His beautiful world is in crisis – again! Should he let events take their course, or should he interfere?

This book is an invitation to see planet Earth through the eyes of Dog and Mother Nature, from the era of the dinosaurs, though times of plenty, to our current and future crises. Who’s to blame? Is it us? Is it them?

This magical read takes us on an insightful journey where individual stories from around the world blend and unfold as Dog’s intimate understanding of the big picture grows. Despite the gremlins, can humans recognise what it is really that matters? Will the warmth and humour of the sprites be strong enough to help people rediscover the wisdom in their souls when faced with fear of losing everything they hold dear… or will Mother Nature not be prepared to wait any longer?

The best and worst of human nature is exposed here. Our assumptions are challenged as this book digs deep into ideas which will resonate with many.

Dolly King

Dolly King is thrown into a world where ruthless men rule; her dad, Michael King being one of them and Tommy Wright, being another. To survive she needs to be as tough as the men, if not tougher. Even though Tommy tries to shield her she rises to the challenge when a back street crook and his tart try to wipe out her dad and frame Tommy. She hunts them down and plans on making them pay in the worst possible way until her dad manages to trick her into leaving the barn so Tommy can mete out the punishment.

Just as things seem to calm down and life is on the up, another enemy strikes leaving Dolly vulnerable and in need of saving. Sometimes it’s those closest to you who you most need to worry about.

Don't Lie

“Gladys could tell fortunes but it was Harriet who made them.”

When Harriet tried her teenage hand at being a ball girl at the local tennis club the day after England won the World Cup, Ian’s wife Betty was intent on winning the doubles trophy. Betty still had time to encourage Ian to take up Harriet’s cause with the club officials who threw her out as unsuitable. Harriet may have had to leave Southport but she was prospering when Ian tracked her down in Whitstable and followed the notorious local trial where Harriet was a star witness. An end of the pier seaside romp where telling the truth is to no one’s advantage.

Don’t Fall in Love with a Dreamer

Louis Morin is a type-2 dreamer. No wonder he’s been drawn to Australia, the Dream Land of the Aboriginal people’s culture. In the wake of the new carbon trading laws, he dreams of turning the parched Red Centre back to green and the Great Salt Lakes back to blue. As always in Australia, big business is not far behind a big, profitable dream.

It is October 2000, at the beginning of the Southern hemisphere summer, and at the end of the Sydney Olympics, which troublemaking-tragic Helen came to watch. While a three-day affair with Louis is in the swing of things to expect, falling in love with him isn’t.

Along comes Horace, another type-2 dreamer who also wants to change the world, with powerful allies to back up his "LFV" dream and a more radical approach to making it come true, including body count. It also includes his, unfortunately.

A challenge to her sanity, already heavily tested, Helen fears for her son’s life. Compelled to blend two dreams in one, Louis finds himself on the shaky grounds of corporate and political worlds, places he, as a researcher, had never been prepared for. But there is always the next dream, and it may well be just waiting for him... at home!

About every seven years, the Great Australian Lakes flood, and flamingos return.

Don’t You Believe Me?

Will someone not wonder what you are about,

If the truth remains hidden and does not come out?

An opportunity to get your husband the £10,000 that he owed.

Does that not sound good? Is that not what Kelly would have thought, and gone along with, when presented with this once in a lifetime offer?

But those who presented her with this opportunity, were they really her friends? Were they thinking of her? Or, were they using her, and thought only of themselves?

And what of the malicious gossip going on in the background, accusations of which she was totally unaware.

If only she had told her husband the truth right from the start, then all the uncertainty and mistrust would not have ensued.

But she did not. She wanted everything to be a surprise. Thinking it was the right thing to do but she kept quiet. And the quieter she kept, the more guilty she appeared...

As Christmas drew near she decided to tell him the truth. But had she left it too late?

Her nonsensical story, her ridiculous version of events sounded so far-fetched and absurd.

After all of this time, after all of the secrecy, was she expecting too much to imagine that he would believe her?

Draw Me a Fish

The world was falling into a downward spiral and there seemed to be no stopping to it. The news was bad on TV and the radio all the time. People from the city were getting sicker and sicker with illnesses that didn’t have a name yet.
Needless to say that the village’s infrastructure could not bear the load of more new arrivals. The fresh settlers were using the lake as, a public swimming pool, a bathtub and as a washroom, and the streets as a playground for their children.
Does this image stir some odd feelings inside of you?
Do you believe that we can just sit back and let go?
Well, I don’t!
What about another chance to turn the odds towards a better tomorrow, one that resembles our children books’ images, a place where it is still possible to dream of pink clouds in a blue sky.
What about teaching our children to do so, in an easy and smooth way. If we start today, before tomorrow, we have better chances to make that dream come true.

Dream Is Another Word for Hope

“It seemed, at the time, back on the 29^th of July 1996, that the newspapers’ black, thick and bold headlines were screaming – you could almost hear the foul cries.

Talkback radio programmes didn’t discuss any other topic but that one and the TV networks – ALL TV networks – were working around the clock, sending their best reporters, trying to outdo each other: crews from around the globe – even from the USSR – assembled in Beijing, China’s capital, and in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Switzerland was in shock – after all, the Schmidt family members were Swiss citizens and held Swiss passports…”

This is how Uri J Palti begins his amazing novel – a delicate love story well-spiced with ingenious and unbelievable spying.

From the first chapter to the last, you won’t be able to put Dream Is Another Word for Hope down, eager to find out how the story develops and how it ends…
