Set in the Yorkshire Dales of the 1950s, Yorkie Boys tells the down-to-earth story of the growing pains of a gang of kids. In a pre-PC world, their behaviour mirrors the innocence of a lost age. Their humorous exploits explore the pains and delights of their early sexual encounters. Mischievous adventures and hilarious conflicts pervade the book in a beautifully-crafted re-creation of post-war Britain, a world without toys, a world where the kids had everything, but nothing. Tragic elements are sensitively drawn in this fascinating portrayal of a forgotten world.

Let Me Tell You Something is a compilation of J.A. Lovelock's oftentimes satirical and always engaging columns where her musings and observations on modern life and the big issues of the day are seasoned with her signature humour and wit. They are applicable to a wide range of readers because they are just so timely, pertinent and funny as hell. She is not afraid to go where other columnists fear to tread and tell it like it is on varied and diverse subjects including crime and punishment, politics, religion, scam artists, love cheats, flying pigs and free samples, weaving in deep truths that jump out at readers and have them nodding along in agreement. This book with its lively, current, questioning and wide-ranging topics will inform (including step by step instructions on how to bag a billionaire) provoke, entertain in equal measure and even make the reader laugh out loud. Or pigs will fly!

To the words of a showman who said he never met a man he didn't like, someone responded with '- probably because he never stayed in one place long enough to get to know anyone'. Possibly true, for while there are some wonderful people around, some are also wonderfully destructive. But from many years travelling, I met far more good people than bad, more kindness and understanding than threatening or harmful. A beautiful nature can be inside many a belying façade. People living simple lives, often have no idea of the beauty of their own nature. They are completely themselves. Perhaps none of us knows what we have to give. But I was always the receiver. The pieces in One Man's Gold are a tribute to some of the people met, who taught me a lot, with no idea of just how much they were giving. In all walks of life and means of living they were a pleasure to know. Joan Baxter hopes you too will enjoy meeting them.

This is a story of violence, cruelty, and injustice. The events took place behind the closed doors of an ordinary family and then in the dark recesses of a society. Robert Sheriff recounts a childhood behind the myth of Australia, the lucky country. Born into a blue-collar family Robert charts his experience at the hands of his violent father, complicit mother and an indifferent society. Then, in his darkest hour, he is consumed by the South Australian State at its most perverse and exposed to institutional abuse, rape, and murder. This is the true story of the powerless exposed to the brutality of the powerful, where children were commodities and the law turned a blind eye to unimaginable evil. Robert writes about the men and the mechanisms that consumed the innocence of children and then discarded them to a life of shameful silence. By speaking out, against the odds, Robert is concluding his miracle of survival.
