AN EXPLANATIONI am not a gossip but I enjoy telling tales. And this is the important part; as strange as it seems, I am a book.Some of my stories are perhaps funny, others sometimes sad. Most of all they are to meant to provoke your thoughts and emotions as they reflect what I have gathered from the previous consumers of my observations in my other books.We all like to know the distasteful secrets of others but it can be difficult to get them at first hand. Yet, something seemingly detached and innocent can be the receptacle and the exposer of those hidden truths about lies. Most of us will know that with other people we hear the stories they want to share but not the ones they want to forget.I do not know your story, but for others their tales are an open book for all to see. There are stories about criminals, cheats and lovers, and one about a man who tricked his way into a care home, fell in love and got thrown out.AND THERE ARE STORIES ABOUT HOW I KILLED PEOPLE.

IF YOU, OR SOMEBODY YOU KNOW, HAS BEEN HURT BY A NARCISSIST, THEN THESE STORIES WILL MAKE YOU FEEL SO MUCH BETTER.The mirror is the narcissist's best friend because it reflects them. If it breaks, they are beaten. This is a set of short stories and metaphors about escaping from the narcissistic emotional and physical traps and clutches.Sometimes serious and at others light hearted, they tell how narcissists got their just deserts. They, of course, will hate the stories but anybody who has been the victim of those predators, male or female, will enjoy reading about how the cravers of admiration and the abusers of power met their true destiny.The author worked for many years as a therapist. He found that metaphors gave insights into the difficulties of people and showed the ways in which his clients could escape or improve. If the stories strike a chord, then they also show a way out.Metaphors open shutters in the mind that have somehow become closed. They have been used to help us from childhood with fables, folk tales and other stories that tell of dangers without lecturing in rational words. Images are developed that have impact and stay in minds as permanent as lighthouses that protect sailors.These tales have been written to cast a light onto the dark shadows in people's lives. Narcissism hurts the victims who are expected to feed positive admiration back to the egotistical perpetrators of physical and emotional pain. Remember, they are NOT after you for you. They want you for themselves.

Through the lens of a single day, we are offered a glimpse of the whole life of Hilkka Mednis. One of five daughters of Pauli and Anne Polvinen, Hilkka enjoyed a happy early childhood until her mother died in childbirth. Then, at the age of thirteen, on the invasion of Finland by the Red Army, she, together with her father and three of her sisters were deported to Siberia.On the day she finds out her son, an up and coming ballet dancer, has defected, Hilkka describes her experiences including the interrogation, and, in so doing, we are dipped into the tough, mundane and, sometimes, sublime nature of Soviet life. Whilst the book is set in the past it is very much about determination, grit, bravery and resilience, the Finnish term for which is 'sisu'.

Original in its perspective and unusual in its setting, 'Caught in the Baltic Tide' offers a valuable addition to historical fiction of WWII.Following the fate of a British engineer, stranded in occupied Latvia, its focus is on the deep cultural and political tension of the Baltic frontier and the insidious realities of the internment of the blameless and the ordinary under Russian military occupation. Yet, the sweeping shadow of war is not the only tide that washes through the novel. Clean, quiet and innocent, 'Caught in the Baltic Tide' is, above all things, a book about love in a time of war. Its themes of rebirth, discovery and humanity sit against the backdrop of a poignant romance. At its core, 'Caught in the Baltic Tide' is the story of a man, lost and found, a stranger in a strange land and the sheer power of ordinary, human love in the face of hatred and despair. While its story resides in the past, 'Caught in the Baltic Tide' carries a timeless message for us all: to love and be loved is to conquer every enemy. Told with an incisive and personable voice, touching with subtlety and grace on heavy socio-political themes, evoking strong setting and possessed of well-drawn character, 'Caught in the Baltic Tide' is a well rounded read with considerable heart. 'Caught in the Baltic Tide' is a love story. It is also a personal journey and it is about the fate of a proud, prosperous and independent country. It is a 'must read'.
