One Last War
Think you have a nightmare neighbour... Surely no-one's neighbour could be this vindictive over a few birds? Former special forces soldier Carl hopes to put his wars behind him and moves his wife and young children to Scotland. They find a peaceful village with a school nearby. Their nightmare neighbour soon starts a battle of wits with them, does this SAS Trooper have one more war left in him? One Last War is an angst-ridden suspenseful novel with a wicked twist from the dark mind of C.G. Buswell Reviews for his last book: "I started this book today and could not put it down till I finished, it had me glued to it from beginning to the end." "A great book with a huge twist at the end! So well-written and totally believable. I didn't see the twist coming at all! If you like crime and mystery books, you have to read this!" "Loved this book. I have read a few of Chris's books and enjoy them all. With this one though, I did not expect the ending! Super, most worthy of a read, maybe even twice."
Bill Gibb
"Crowned Designer of the Year by British Vogue in 1970, Bill Gibb [1943-1988) was set to become a major name in fashion history. Famous for his love of romance, Gibb's flamboyant flights of fancy appeared revolutionary in the 1970s and still have a resonance today. But his career came to an abrupt end in 1988, when the fashion industry lost one of its most adventurous and exciting designers. It seems a fitting time to review Gibb's contribution to fashion." "This stunning book explores the work of a prolific and, at his best, truly visionary designer: his background and the enduring themes that inspired his designs. Gibb's fashion philosophy is revealed through the words of the designer, its...
Nathan Coley
Nathan Coley (*1967 in Glasgow) is interested in the idea of "public" space, and his practice explores the ways in which architecture becomes invested-and reinvested-with meaning. Across a range of media Coley investigates what the built environment reveals about the people it surrounds and how the social and individual response to it is in turn culturally conditioned. Using the readymade as a means to take from and re-place in the world, Coley addresses the ritual forms we use to articulate our beliefs-from hand-held placards and erected signs to religious sanctuaries. Whether highlighting in illuminated letters the testimony of a New Yorker recalling the World Trade Center attacks or erasing the names of the dead from their gravestones, his work frequently turns the specific into the general, thereby testing its function as a form of social representation; simply, does this aphorism, this gravestone, this building, speak on my behalf?
The Mermaid and The Bear
Isobell needs to escape. She has to. Her life depends on it. She has a plan and it's a well thought-out, well observed plan, to flee her privileged life in London and the cruel man who would marry her, and ruin her, and make a fresh start in Scotland. She dreams of faery castles, surrounded by ancient woodlands and misty lochs... and maybe even romance, in the dark and haunted eyes of a mysterious Laird. Despite the superstitious nature of the time and place, her dreams seem to be coming true, as she finds friendship and warmth, love and safety. And the chance for a new beginning... Until the past catches up with her. Set in the late sixteenth century, at the height of the Scottish witchcraft accusations, The Mermaid and The Bear is a story of triumph over evil, hope through adversity, faith in humankind and - above all - love.
