Suicide By Death
"Unavoidably inspiring." - Kirkus Reviews
For years, Clair has wanted to end her life.
To her, death seems like a rational solution to her problems. Clair is convinced there are no rainbows in the sky, and certain the greener grass does not exist on the other side.
With many suicide attempts and as many failures, Clair feels she is once again at the end of the rope. And this time, it is shorter than ever before.
Many have suffered the loss of a loved one, friend or acquaintance to suicide, often without warning. All too often, drugs, alcohol and sexual abuse play a vital role.
This story is about all three.
Praise from readers:
★★★★★ - "Awesome emotional rollercoaster."
★★★★★ - "An eye-opener."

It's A Strange Place, England
This small book looks at some of the strange things that make England unique, starting with the English language itself and looking at concepts such as sports, ghosts and the English love for eccentricity - like the sportsman who rode his horse naked.

For example, there is the canal across Southern England that was dug to keep back Bonaparte’s hordes in the invasion that never took place. There is also the impressively masculine Cerne Abbas Giant, to which women once flocked when they wished to become pregnant. The mysterious Stonehenge also deserves its part in this book.
