Each of my stories portray settings that seem as though they may have really happened, but could not possibly be so. Each and every concept is straight out of my head, and figments of my imagination. None of the content is real, even if I wanted or willed it to be. All of it is pure fantasy, as much as it would be nice that any of it is real. It is my strongest hope that I draw you in to imagine along with me for a while.

This collection of simply-told, compelling stories is a vivid kaleidoscope of scenes from life. Sometimes heart-warming, sometimes poignant, always told with passion and compassion, these tales mine a rich seam of human experience. They often probe social issues. Some are parts borrowed from John Needham's full length novels and some are stand-alone short stories.They are tales of the seasons of the year; stories from the seasons of life. Stories covering the full gamut of human emotion. They are tales of people of the present and people from the past playing out life's dramas, major or minor, with consequences shallow or profound.An un-named black girl finds awakening of love in her barren life. A writer reminisces about recent events in recollections bitter-sweet. An old man speaks tenderly and nostalgically to the wife who is no longer with him. A new mother talks to her new-born baby, wishing him good luck, wisdom and happiness. These are examples of the themes of sixteen stories that will tug the heart strings or sometimes make you smile. And sometimes too, perhaps, they might provoke another sort of smile: a wry, nostalgic one of remembrance.

Since it was founded in 1810 by Lewis Tregonwell, the Dorset resort of Bournemouth has developed to become a favourite destination for holidaymakers across the decades. Many people have happy recollections of summers spent there, but although the memories remain constant, the town has witnessed many changes, some good and some bad. In Lost Bournemouth, local author John Needham brings together 160 colour, black-and-white and sepia photographs from throughout last century to show what has changed and how the way of life has altered through the generations. The book will focus on certain areas of the town such as the seafront and the pier, and the cinemas, theatres and the Winter Gardens that entertained the many visitors and residents of the town that have now vanished. Even everyday street scenes show how Bournemouth has developed, while pictures of the magnificent Victoria Gardens, with its once great fountains that have been replaced with flower beds, reveal what has been consigned to the history books. There are countless changes to the town that have taken place and this book will bring back many memories, using images from the past and some from the present day. Lost Bournemouth shows the reader what has been forgotten and what has disappeared through time. It is an engrossing visual chronicle, providing a wealth of history and recollections for residents and visitors alike.
