North East of Eden

...these kids were born with a smile on their faces to two loving parents. I thought it was there for good. Then dark clouds started gathering in the Northumbrian sky. They became entangled in a justice system regulated and controlled by a right-wing, feminist cartel that wiped the grin off their faces.

This book came about as a testament to the unconditional love between a father and his children; it is nothing less than a solemn promise of a father who vows never to be able to rest until he puts a smile back on their faces.

I want to share with the world this treasure I found when I freed my soul. I explored the valleys and found places I never knew were there. I searched the surface of the earth, went around the mountains and into their depths. I saw wonders and magic beyond my dreams. I was enriched and fulfilled. I had never seen such majesty. I hope every soul can have this experience, so they can grow in spirit and improve their lives by realizing that they can let their minds wander too. That if they open their hearts and minds as they read the different scenes in this book, they will discover a world of wealth within themselves. They will soon realize that they too can travel to places of wonder and magic beyond their imagination. May my words entertain and be profound to inspire positive changes to many as they go beyond what was once considered ‘impossible’.

D.A.N.'s Little Book of Everyday Poetry Stories

This second book by D. A. Nicholson is structured similarly to his first, D.A.N.’s Little Book of War Poetry, published by Austin Macauley in summer 2022: each poem attempts to tell a single, self-contained story. 

The first poem in the book, for instance, tells the story of Mike Tyson (‘The Champ’), and the book contains many others that celebrate such figures as the late Queen, the famous English steeplejack Fred Dibnah and, of course, our own ‘Captain Tom’, who captured everyone’s heart back in the dark days of Covid. 

Interspersed with these tributes to well-known personalities are more domestic poems, some clearly autobiographical, some written from other people’s perspectives.

The author hopes the reader enjoys this book as much as he did writing it.

The Other Side of the Flag

A small group clustered on the outer deck of the ship, watching the dock and shoreline slowly recede. On one side of me stood the next King of England; on the other, ‘The Best Prime Minister Britain Never Had.’ Beers in hand, we listened as the familiar strains of Rule, Britannia! rose from the crowds ashore and from the countless small craft dotting the harbour. The Royal Yacht of the same name slowly departed from the last vestige of the British Empire, mere minutes after Hong Kong was handed back to Chinese rule, marking the end of 150 years of British governance.

Those standing on the deck were lost in their own thoughts. For me, it was the conclusion of my 17-year odyssey in this most vibrant of city-states. What began as a quest for adventure – a stark contrast to my comfortable but unexciting life in England – ended with my intimate involvement in a pivotal moment in history.

My career in the Royal Hong Kong Police Force had unfolded like a Hollywood script: from the riot squad to bodyguard duty, to a decade in counterterrorism, and finally as the last Aide-de-camp to the last Governor of Hong Kong. Along the way, I experienced countless headline-making incidents – and some that never made it to the press. It was a career rich in exhilaration and variety, far beyond anything I could have imagined when my journey began.

Get ready to laugh, be amazed, and be completely enthralled as Jane makes her choice and discovers what lies beyond the clouds in this quirky and humorous adventure.

Fredrick Frog

With a hop and a leap, he sets out on an unexpected adventure, only to find himself face-to-face with a very hungry bird! After a day filled with narrow escapes and surprising discoveries, Fredrick learns that what he was searching for was never far away.

This charming story celebrates the magic of friendship, the thrill of adventure, and the comfort of knowing you’re always right where you belong.

Jamie

Jamie Timms struggled with his fragile mental health. Surrounded by the suffering of war, famine, and personal loss, he longed for heaven. He wrestled with a profound question: Is Heaven a place beyond Earth, or must humanity use science and ingenuity to transform this world into a paradise where we can reunite with loved ones?

One day, five-year-old Fiona from Plockton’s Primary School arrived at his door. She carried a letter etched on a twig, a message from Sharon, a hunted bear living with her family in tunnels beneath Frithard Hill. The bears believed that only Jamie and the children could save them.

Tami, a beautiful queen from the planet Wahoko Chu, traveled to Earth in search of the sacred bears. Disguised as a robin, she discovered their descendants living in the tunnels. But upon meeting Jamie, whose kind heart shone through, she fell deeply in love.

Jamie’s mission became clear: transform Earth into a heaven before global warming destroyed it. With Tami by his side, the force of goodness known as ‘the power,’ the children of Plockton’s Primary School, and the eccentric extraterrestrial vet Dr. Lab, he would fight for Earth’s survival. But time, and hope, were running out.

The Mozhaisk Road

The time is 1978 and Moscow is still the capital of a Communist country. The political police continues to suppress the protests of dissident leader Alexander Razumovsky and his tiny group of supporters. Western observers Howard Wilde and Gels Maybey face an uncertain Christmas after a public rally is roughly broken up in the city’s Pushkin Square.

But when the elderly Razumovsky suddenly steps down in the New Year and a new young leader emerges, the whole world sees a sign of hope. Can this sluggish, downtrodden Russia, despised by its own leaders, suddenly change, inspired by the courage of one Boris Marlinsky? As the Kremlin responds behind the scenes, how close can Western reporters come to grasping the hidden ways of power which seem to seal Russia’s troubled fate?

This forcefully imagined prequel to the real events of 1991 changes the lives of Howard Wilde and Gels Maybey, and their American friends Arthur and Harriet. But what then of their Russian friends? Is it only Western hearts and minds that long for freedom along the Mozhaisk Road?
