DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn March 19, 1969, First Lieutenant Homer R. Steedly, Jr., shot and killed a North Vietnamese soldier, Dam, when they met on a jungle trail. Steedly took a diary -- filled with beautiful line drawings -- from the body of the dead soldier, which he subsequently sent to his mother for safekeeping. Thirty-five years later, Steedly rediscovers the forgotten dairy and begins to confront his suppressed memories of the war that defined his life, deciding to return to Viet Nam and meet the family of the man he killed to seek their forgiveness. Fellow veteran and award-winning author Wayne Karlin accompanied Steedly on his remarkable journey. In Wandering Souls he recounts Homer's movement towards a recovery that could only come about through a confrontation with the ghosts of his past -- and the need of Dam's family to bring their child's "wandering soul" to his own peace. Wandering Souls limns the terrible price of war on soldiers and their loved ones, and reveals that we heal not by forgetting war's hard lessons, but by remembering its costs.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn his book, the author describes his life from age two, after the second world war, to seventy today. His early life in an RAF nissen hut in Lytham St Annes; hard times at boarding schools; an archaeological dig at Milton Keynes; lengthy train travel to Istanbul; smallpox requiring departure from Turkey to Cyprus military base, thence by ship to Egypt, Port Alexandria and military train to Luxor, in a country eerily awaiting developments after the destruction of three jumbo jets. He also describes his time in New York, Washington and Philadelphia, meeting his wife while hitch hiking in Ireland; working for two legal firms and for the catholic church, both positive as the latter included the successful visit to the UK by Pope John Paul II, but negative as it involved appalling child protection cases.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWake Me, I Am Dreaming is a collection of over 80 brand new, never before published poems about life and self-discovery. It is a journey from whimsical imagination to the wilderness of vulnerability to the connectedness of energy and purpose. Drawing from the inspiration of nature, yoga philosophy, and the wisdom of the soul, the poems in this collection represent an inner tension between a state of dreaming and waking, between what is an illusion and what is real. A modern take on one of life's biggest questions, "Why are we here?", it is a journey of poetic meditation to self-awareness, acceptance and purpose. Wake Me, I Am Dreaming was written for wanderers, dreamers, trailblazers, lightworkers, truth seekers, yoga students and yoga teachers, nature lovers, and anyone on a quest for self-discovery or spirituality - finding purpose and believing in something bigger than yourself. This book of poems will be a beautiful inspirational gift for yourself or a friend. "It's time to decide, which mountains you'll climb. For settling in the valley, lies the enemy of change." This book is divided into sections, each dedicated to a different element which we may encounter on the journey to connection with the true Self. Some of these elements are rooted in nature: the trees, the ocean, the wind and flowers. Others draw from more abstract or unseen forces: the ether, time, the third eye (our intuition). All of them have great wisdom and inspiration to offer. The sections are placed carefully in an order meant to evoke the sensation of moving along a path from dreaming to waking. However, each poem stands beautifully on its own and the reader is invited to travel the contents of this book in whatever way resonates most.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor readers of Roberto Bolaño's Savage Detectives and Muriel Spark's Loitering with Intent, this "sublime" and "delightfully unhinged" metaphysical mystery disguised as a picaresque romp follows one poet's spectacular fall from grace to ask a vital question: Is everyone a plagiarist? (Nicolette Polek, author of Imaginary Museums). A scandal has shaken the literary world. As the unnamed narrator of Dead Souls discovers at a cultural festival in central London, the offender is Solomon Wiese, a poet accused of plagiarism. Later that same evening, at a bar near Waterloo Bridge, our narrator encounters the poet in person, and listens to the story of Wiese's rise and fall, a story that takes the entire night—and the remainder of the novel—to tell. Wiese reveals his unconventional views on poetry, childhood encounters with "nothingness," a conspiracy involving the manipulation of documents in the public domain, an identity crisis, a retreat to the country, a meeting with an ex-serviceman with an unexpected offer, the death of an old poet, a love affair with a woman carrying a signpost, an entanglement with a secretive poetry cult, and plans for a triumphant return to the capital, through the theft of poems, illegal war profits, and faked social media accounts—plans in which our narrator discovers he is obscurely implicated. Dead Souls is a metaphysical mystery brilliantly encased in a picaresque romp, a novel that asks a vital question for anyone who makes or engages with art: Is everyone a plagiarist?
