Fiona Morgan

Ava owes everything to Nathan, her boyfriend. Without him she is useless and incapable of independent thought or action. Ava knows this because Nathan has told her, repeatedly, and just to reinforce the point, the occasional slap or punch helps, doesn't it? After all, it is her fault, as she does ‘push all his buttons' and cause him to be so angry.

This seems to be the pattern of Ava's life until she has a chance meeting with Neil, a man who is different, who seems to understand, and she takes the brave step of asking him to help her leave her possessive, abusive relationship. Leaving is never that easy and Nathan's persistence in pursuing Ava is the cause of much mental anguish for both her and Neil, for whom the long-buried memory of an abusive father is brought back into focus.

They are both caught up in uncertainty and physical violence, which test the tender love that is growing between them.

And Forever More

Elizabeth Love

Carrying on from the romantic hospital story, Forever, Jodie grows up to be a self-assured, talented artist. At an early age she goes to Canada on an exchange visit, working with children in a hospital and meets up with another young girl. She then goes to college to study for her degree in embroidery, where she meets her prince charming Scotland, also an artist. They go on to a charismatic partnership with successful careers in their chosen subjects. It is a home-spun story of love and devotion.

Through the Leaves of My Tree

Liz Gillespie

Poetry is a unique craft of words driven by the inner thoughts of the poet's personal experiences. In this collection by Liz Gillespie most of the material is gleaned from her personal life and family. The enjoyment of poetry is not only to absorb the subject but to read it... unfettered with grammar and punctuation conventions. If you have a musical aptitude, you will automatically create your very own song with the natural cadence of the verses. A well-written and thought provoking list of stanzas.

The Morning Tree

Claude Randall

The discovery of a manuscript written by a Tibetan monk reveals the Morning Tree - powerful esoteric knowledge that can transform people's lives and lead humanity to a golden age.

The Morning Tree, protected for centuries, now needs to be released - but dark forces are determined to destroy it.

The manuscript tells how Thaza, a Mongolian horseman with his own inner demons, is led to the Morning Tree and eventually risks his life for truths he comes to realise are vital for humanity.

The manuscript is discovered by Daniel Clifton, an English academic seeking a quiet life. His life too is turned upside down as he grasps the importance of the Morning Tree and the urgent need to reveal it to the world.

Thaza and Daniel's extensive journeys span 1930s Tibet to modern day London. They offer a fresh way to understand life, see death in a new light, expand consciousness and recognise the spirituality now coming in.
