India Frances Hope writes of her experience growing up in Thailand under the influence of a difficult father. She tells with brutal innocent irony of her daily discoveries and developing relationships. Through the honesty of her stories, many fascinating cultural clashes and contradictions of language in a mixed race family come to light. But it's still very funny.
Sex, drugs, rock and roll; Featherstone does it all. And all leads to one thing: Trouble. As the swinging sixties dawns, Featherstone sets out in search of his 'first time'. That is no easy task in the days when most girls kept their legs together during passionate embarrasses. He doesn't really know what to do when allowed onto third base anyway. It takes an older woman to teach him what's what. Art College is a liberating experience. Featherstone discovers the joys and perils of loose women. And free love that comes at a price. Events sweep him away into a dangerous world of sleaze and easy money where he rubs shoulders with criminals and ignores the rules. Running away isn't the answer, as he finds out when he arrives in Amsterdam. He has something sex goddess, Velma Ventura, craves. His reluctance to supply could cost him his life. Groupies, cannabis and money are a dodgy mix. Featherstone discovers this as lead singer in a rock band. Mayhem and murder pursue him to an uncertain future. Featherstone Rogue Tales take you back to a time, not so very long ago, when life was easier for all, fun for most, and lucky for some. His antics will shock, excite, amuse, and may disgust, but hey, who wants to die old?
Golden Guineas, Golden Guineas, London Full of Gold is Mary's lullaby. In the year 1716 she seizes her destiny and flees Dublin to seek her fortune. But it's all in the pockets of the rich. Mary decides her nimble fingers are better employed than sewing shirts for a shilling a piece. She uses her skills to great success and becomes the most celebrated of thieves known throughout the underworld as Jenny Diver. The Regulator, however, sees her as a threat to his criminal empire. There's only two ways to deal with rivals. Make them partners or crush them without mercy. Jenny takes up the challenge. London cannot serve two masters. Stakes are high. The hangman holds the prize for losers. Friends, lovers, foes alike, they fight and fear together in the Shadow of the Fatal Tree.
Many mistakes, few regrets, lessons learned and forgotten. Four men lie dead in a Bangkok morgue. Mike Dean doesn't feel it is his fault in spite of what others might think. He holds up in his Goa hideaway craving the bliss of ignorance, hoping his troubles will somehow blow away. But he has it, and they want it. They won't go away. Mike Dean thought he'd left the seedy underworld behind in the East End of London when he moved to the East End of the World. But trouble follows wherever Mike goes. Fortunately, he has friends; men you don't mess with, and the love of two women. The Ricketts are nasty people. For two generations they've fed off the perversions of their victims. Mike Dean has the means to put them away. That's how his latest problem begins. September is the month good things used to happen. This is Another September.
