McCreed

Ashton struggles with university. He doesn’t have many friends but fills his time with coaching and training, looking to become a professional fighter.

One day, his twin sister reminds him of an expensive event that their parents are hosting. Loads of rich and significant guests will be joining the family for food and business conversation. Gorgeous women and suited men littering their mansion.

The security business is booming.

A person can change forever in a single moment, their whole world in a series of them.

At this high-profile and heavily-guarded event, Ashton and his family’s lives are turned upside down.

Meandering Ideas

Meandering With The Months

Embark on a journey of nature’s beauty and wonder with Meandering With The Months, a collection of poetry that takes you on a lyrical journey through the seasons.

Be transported through a kaleidoscope of colours and emotions as you travel through the year, discovering the treasures each month has to offer.

Meanwhile Back at the Nest

Only through dialogue with nature and the animal kingdom can we hope to fathom the human condition. Such conversation enables us to establish a fresh benchmark by which to gauge the significance of what it takes to be human in a truer sense of the word. This collection of poems represents the findings of a man who is still very much a work in progress!

beyond observer’s books

and climbing boys

there nests a bird

that only takes

to wing

to prey

on feeble-minded men

designed for toil

and useful days

but who stand too long

and gaze

gathering sunlight at its tail

it swoops unseen

and strikes

with song caresses

ear and mind

while talons grip

the heart

and choke all talk

this bird

part nightingale

part hawk

Meet Me in the Maze

Miss Alice West spent more than one London season making friends rather than finding a husband. She was often seen as a friend instead of a potential wife. However, that changed when she met a man in a maze and found herself in much deeper than she would have liked.

Nathaniel Coleridge, more commonly known as Duke of Winslow, was uninterested in marriage. He was content seducing widows and running his dukedom. That was until he met a mysterious beauty in a maze.

Who is she?

And why can’t he get her out of his head?

Will Nathaniel get what he wants or will Alice slip through his fingers?

Melancholy of the Heart - Echoes on the Wind

From an early age Ruth had always struggled to fit in. Her only solace was provided by the abundance of nature she enjoyed living by the beautiful North Cornwall coast. She took pleasure in seeing the resilience of sea pinks, small pink flowers clinging to the cliffs and the warm coconut aroma of vivid orange gorse. As an only child she felt lost and isolated until her gift made itself known to her. This gift gave her a reason to live in a world she barely understood. She was not prepared however for the toll on her emotional and physical self her gift would exact from her, never knowing when she would be called upon to help those no longer of this time find forgiveness.

Memoirs of the Village Idiot

‘How is it possible that life, for the life of it, could be painful and joy-less? Yet it has survived for ages?’…

Is the ability to see the world in its most unflattering state, without reason nor rhyme, a gift or a curse with a pinch of mental instability?

Memories and More

The basic idea of this book is to share life experiences, and thereby give comfort and encourage smiles, by showing my own and others’ reflections on different life-situations. I am sure that many of them are comparable to those that occur in your life, or to others around you. By sharing experiences, we all learn something. Women are probably sharing thoughts more often than men. Many of the events in this book have also been discussed in female groups. They have not all been personally experienced by me but are the consensus from these fruitful discussions. Now I am pleased to share them with you. Among the experiences discussed in this book: heartbreak, the #MeToo movement and my own experiences, divorce as its complication as a parent, and my own thoughts about the pandemic. I also share with you my thoughts about the aging process that we all must endure, if we are lucky enough to live that long, since life is still a gift given to us all. We ought to remember that and enjoy the journey.

Mental Awakenings

Mental Health Matters – Volume 2

Mental Health Matters – Volume 2 will give you an insight into mental health through poetry.

My own mental health battles have been difficult, I hope to grow as a person and make people believe in themselves. I also want people to relate because at some point we all struggle with mental health.

Mental health can make you feel like you’re living a constant nightmare that will never end. But things do get better, I’m living proof of that. I hope to share my poems with you because life is precious and, most importantly, you are precious. Sometimes in life we just survive instead of living. If you ever feel like this. I hope you realise how beautiful a place this world is. Remember. it’s raining but eventually the sun will rise.

While in the darkest of places, I found poetry a beautiful way to express emotions. so give it a go and read some of my poems: some happy, some deep. Whatever it is you’re looking for – a poem to cheer you up, a poem you can relate too – this book has it all.
