A young man struggling to find the lasting love and happiness he yearns for after a disastrous start to life, defends his daughter against sexual abuse and is soon on the run from a murder charge. He flees across Europe and takes refuge in North Africa, right at the start of the brutal Arab Spring uprising of 2010/11. This tense, fast-paced thriller pulls no punches in describing how a sidelined social misfit steps up to the mark and tries to prevail over his past; to overcome the obstacles in his future, and at last succeed in any way he can. It chronicles the people he meets along the way, some of whom will stay in his heart forever, and an unlikely love affair which persists against all odds. This book also includes some of the animals that they and any of us could meet on our journeys through life, and how they can so often enrich that journey. The backdrop is the author's move to a new life in Spain and his experiences there.

Jessica's Garden is a wonderful children's story about the need every child has to go outside and play ... and get dirty! Jessica wants so badly to play in the garden and get dirty like Katie, the little girl next door, but Jessica's mummy doesn't want her little girl to ruin her pretty clothes. Daddy tries to console Jessica, but everything changes when Nanny comes to visit. Nanny soon sees to it that Jessica has lovely new play clothes as well as seeds to plant in her garden. Now Jessica can see how flowers and veggies grow, and she can enjoy herself with Katie and not worry about her clothes. Jeanette O'Donnell is retired and spends much of her time in the garden. She plans to write more children's books, naming the characters after her grandchildren. "I grew up in the West Midlands of England and emigrated to Australia with my parents as a sixteen-year-old. I love Australia, but have never forgotten the pretty gardens and countryside of England." Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/jeanetteannodonnell

When school-leaver Jessica’s reclusive great-grandfather bequeaths her a haunted castle in the Welsh borderlands, she’s thrust into a world of hostile strangers, troublesome Romany tenants, and a strange gift that shows her disjointed visions of the past. And that’s only the start of it. She thinks she’s going mad, until old family stories and the superstitious fears of locals convince her that something sinister really is going on at Kidd Castle, and all the while the gift keeps drawing her deeper into the secrets of her ancestors. The only person who seems to understand what’s happening is the young Romany street artist, Joe. In the face of deadly danger to them and their loved ones, Jessica and Joe must master the gift before the past imposes its terrible will on the present.

On 4 August 2012 Jessica Ennis kicked off what some described as the greatest night in British sporting history. For her it was the end of a long, winding, and sometimes harrowing road. Nobody was under more pressure at the London Olympics than 'the face of the Games'. Yet Jessica delivered the heptathlon gold medal, and the huge outpouring of relief she showed afterwards hinted at the roller-coaster journey she had been on. Behind the smiles and politeness, Jessica has endured much. Bullied at school for being small, she proved to critics and rivals alike that size really didn't matter. Hers is an inspiring tale of following your dreams no matter what life throws at you. In 2008 Jessica thought her career might be over when she was injured on the eve of the Olympic Games in Beijing. But she overcame this setback to rebuild her career and technique, becoming the world and European champion in successive years. Her biggest test was yet to come, though, when her rivals overhauled her in the build-up to London. Unbelievable is a refreshingly candid account of her rise to fame in a highly charged world in which body image issues and drug abuses lurk. From the unique pressures facing her, to behind-the-scenes glimpses into the greatest show on earth, and a revealing account of her love-hate relationship with her long-term coach, Jessica reveals the truth behind the smiles for the first time. Unbelievable includes exclusive behind-the-scenes photos. This is the story of how the girl next door became London's poster girl, and how an ordinary woman used an extraordinary talent to claim the title of the world's greatest all-round female sports star.
