By the end of the 18th century, Corsica had been occupied by France for over thirty years. Islanders yearned to recover their lost independence, and the French Revolution gave them the opportunity. Their leader, Pasquale Paoli, realized that alone they could never defeat the well-organized French forces. He offered Corsica to King George III of England, on condition that the French were driven from the island.Based on documented historical fact, the author paints a detailed portrait of Corsica through the captivating adventures of Damian Berra, a young man from what is today the Swiss canton of Valais.

Edward’s Lost Treasure is a story of history … and mystery. It all starts in the late 1800s and takes a century to unfold. It’s about a treasure that’s been discovered, lost, and searched for. Treasure may be precious to one person, but mean nothing to another. And sometimes the search can be more interesting than what is found.Adventure means different things to different people. It can be as simple as a bored schoolboy looking for something to do while on holiday from school, or teenagers wanting a different lifestyle than the one they find so boring. Some may want change so much that they embark upon a journey that takes them to the other side of the world.This tale is about a treasure, how it was originally found, how it was lost, and how it was searched for with very little evidence that it could still be found. It’s also about the people involved with the treasure and where their search for adventure led them. For some, the search was a positive experience. For others, not so much. It all depended on the treasure seekers’ personalities, and if adventure brought them what they were truly seeking.Bronwyn Heeney grew up in a suburb of Sydney, Australia, which became part of her book, and now lives near Melbourne. She wrote this story over a period of years and the characters became real to her. This is her third book.

Praise for Terence Roberts“For artist Terence Roberts, ‘Fresh’ is the perspective.” – Linda Rutherford, editor“The celebration of the sensuous, and his championing of it as an expression of humanism and progress, has been a feature of his work. His focus is on the act and processes of creativity … There is much to hold one’s attention at different levels.” – Alim Hosein, linguist/critic, University of Guyana“What he offers (is) … an invitation to contemplate the creative genius of the artist in a surprising, non-academic, anti-Mannerist way.” – Neil Marks, television journalist“Even when deeply rooted in his native culture, his language is universal and speaks directly to our soul, our spirit, and the dancing patterns of his art vibrate in harmony with the natural rhythms that are etched in our tiniest cells and molecules.” – Jean-Francois Pulvenis de Seligny, ambassador“For Terence Roberts art is constantly evolving, and this point of view allows him to maintain a freshness and vivacity to his endeavors; his works speak to the emotions quietly … he succeeds like nobody’s business, and we are all the richer for it.” – Rashid Osman, senior editor

The Last Time I Saw San Francisco: And Other Stories follows the author’s adventures of gay erotica at different sites around the world.From the book’s Introduction:“My near namesake – William Jennings Bryan – has written a typical story In His Image, which speaks of 2000-plus years of common knowledge. (‘BC’ means, by the way, ‘Before Common Knowledge’) … But mine is a story that goes back hundreds if not thousands of years. It is the story of an intrinsic beauty represented in centuries of stone carving – the beauty of the male form.“In the museum of antiquities in Athens, Greece, there is row upon row of ancient attempts at casting this divine image in stone. There is an entire room of kouros, the early attempts of sculpting this image – it is like entering the shower room of modern-day football athletes.”About the Author: Born in Florida, William Joseph Bryan has experienced a good portion of the 20th century.

Fats' mother names him Ian Wendell Thomas at birth, something his friends correct in early childhood. A true connoisseur of the finer things (women, beer, music, food, general self-indulgence, women), Fats leaves school behind as soon as possible and devotes his time to, well, the finer things.The central California coast of the aimless 1970s is the perfect place for such devotions. His friends (who call themselves the Holy League of Rudy) invoke the dying spirit of '60s activism by daring to deface the grotesque new downtown mall, delaying its bicentennial grand opening and costing its owners millions.Not long after the mall raid, Fats falls for and marries Amanda, achingly beautiful heiress to the largest family-owned vineyards in California. Nothing is ever simple, however. Amanda's father, unaware of Fats' past crimes, is also the primary investor in the afore-mentioned mall, and a man whose dangerous displeasure only a fool would willingly invite.When the marriage goes south, Fats finds himself on the Z-list of the brutal neighborhood mafia, forcing the Holy League to fight back with the most vicious weapon at their disposal: unrelenting, irresistible mirth.Barton McGuire lives in the coastal northwest with his beautiful wife, his brilliant son, and his dog. This is his second book about the Holy League of Rudy. The Holy League of Rudy: The Book of Bones was published in 2013.

I moved from Manchester to Sheffield, when I married a steelworker.“We brought up six children and I have always been happy as a homemaker and mother. I live very happily in a garden suburb on the border of a national park. I like music and books and the theatre.“My late husband and I used to go rambling, but I can't walk far now. This is my first book and my last!”Breaking FreeCame an exotic bird to my quiet bowerAsked: Is there anywhere you’d rather be?You could see birds of paradise, rare flowersOr explore coral reefs beneath the sea.I’ll fly you anywhere … say MandalayOr sail around the timeless isles of GreeceRevel in the excitement of BombayOr in Tibet find spiritual peace.So! All the world to choose from – how surreal!Kaleidoscopic, spins your head round. I tried imagininghow it would feel …Someone like me who needs family around. Fear of the unknown led me to refuseAnd restless now I sit bemused.
