The stories of breeders Henk Nijhof and Johan Venderbosch and trainers Roeli Bril and Jan Oortveld, men she knew, or knew of, during her youth in Gelderland, give a wonderful impression, not only of how life was, but also how life changed.
Starting with the breeding lines of Totilas and Valegro as the prime examples of the Dutch breeding success, the book, with Liz’s younger years as the common thread, gives owners of a Dutch sport horse anywhere in the world the chance to connect the breeding papers of their warmblood to this heartwarming tale of some brave Gelderland horsemen, who dared to stick their neck out, never shy of taking a little risk. |

Wolverhampton Historical Society
Button Gwinnett
We are currently working on a biography of Button Gwinnett by his descendant, Colin Gwinnett Sharp. Gwinnett was a signatory to the Declaration of Independence and his signature is now the most sought after in the United States.
Colin will be speaking to the Wolverhampton Historical Society, at the Old School, 73 Dudley Road, on 16 September at 14.30 pm, Wolverhampton being Gwinnett’s place of origin.
The talk will, among other things, examine the dubious means by which Gwinnett rose to become one of the largest landowners in the State of Georgia and leader of the Populist Party, before placing his signature on the Declaration of Independence and becoming successively Speaker, Commander-in-Chief and President of Georgia. He died an untimely death in a duel.
Songs in the Key of Death
Seamus Carron
|
The subject is MURDER. The players include the Metropolitan Police, the FBI, a satirical journalist and a professional musician. In the background a mysterious hidden manipulator pulls the strings of the establishment. More of a ‘why done it?’ than a ‘who done it?’ the story reveals a twisted thread of music, riddles and missing girls. A trail of smoke & mirrors leading toward an end game that questions: is anyone safe, will justice be done, can law and order prevail? This compelling book paints a rich and unusual reflection of the characters & events, their unfolding meanings filled with irony & satire. |

R Gilbert - A Pacy Thriller - 30th August 2016
An entertaining and pacy thriller from a first-time author with obvious talent as a storyteller.
Sadly the novel is published posthumously meaning that this is the only glimpse readers will get into the mind and imagination of someone who clearly had a gift for writing and story development. Recommended.
D A Grieve
Not the genre of book I would normally read (ie murder mysteries) but I am glad I picked it up.
It is a big book that keeps you engrossed from the first page right through to the last.
A true 'Hard to put down' book .
Book advertising
Kath Hirani’s moving account of her trans-racial life, treated in fictional form in Not Quite the Full Chapati, has found unlikely endorsement on the back of the buses of the Island of Jersey. In addition there is a video which is now on LCD screens at the airport by the baggage conveyor belts.

Times Literary Supplement
“No synopsis of the movements and adventures of that battery could give an adequate impression of the scope of the book and quotation will do it less than justice. In style it is simple, light yet adequate; the humour is never forced and the ever present sense of tragedy is never unduly emphasized”.

Henry James
Today a hundred years ago, Henry James became a British citizen. He had been living in England, in Rye, Sussex, since 1897, but by becoming British citizen he hoped to express his solidarity with his adopted country during the struggle of World War I. He died a year later in Chelsea – but his ashes were taken back to Cambridge Massachusetts for internment.
