What if time was broken? Would life continue as normal? Or would everything just stop?For Norman Coleslaw, a young trainee journalist, a regular bicycle ride propels him into a week like nobody has ever experienced before. A week free from reality, and the constraints of time.Norman's search for truth leads him into the path of great danger, and eventually places him nipple-to-face with the most dangerous man Miranisha has ever known, General Alain de Wilderspin.Mourning Morning, the second novel from Scott Andrews, takes you on a riotous romp through the kind of absurd landscape which can only occur in a post-modern dictatorship.

From the ages of 15 to 25, Scott Andrews struggled with mental illness, and was committed to several psychiatric facilities throughout the area where he still lives today. Told by the patient himself are the stories of strength, struggles, violence, fear, hope, friendship and day to day life in the wards he was locked away in. The book also describes the conditions and practices that were common to him and became a sad but normal reality.

The truth is, the average British person moves house only once every 23 years and nowadays we are staying in our homes longer than they did in our parents' generation. So, it's not surprising that the house-move can be one of the most traumatic experiences that most of us have to take. What's even more challenging is when the move takes us urban dwellers from our familiar cosmopolitan roots into a place we've never experienced before - the countryside. So, this is us - Scott and Rachel - and we have made the life-changing decision to move for the first time away from the familiarities and conveniences of life in the town, to explore a whole new life in a 300-year-old thatched cottage in the middle of a small village, with next to none of the amenities that we normally rely upon for day-to-day living. Wondering what village life will bring, how would we will cope as we left the familiar surroundings of our life as 'Townies' behind us? It soon became clear just how unprepared we were for the comical, testing and often heart-warming challenges that lay ahead.
