From the Holocaust to the Highlands
This is the story of a man who grew to love and serve the country which gave him and his family sanctuary when they fled the horror of the Nazi holocaust. Not only has he lived an incredible life, but he has managed to record it in a unique style that allows his personality to shine from every page.--Michael William Molden.

Grassmarket Blood
Stanley Hobbes is a neat, quiet, verging on OCD obituary writer for the Edinburgh Times - who usually keeps himself to himself and hasn't had much to say after two years in the same boring job - when he unexpectedly lands a potentially huge story through a ridiculously strange obituary scenario and gets promoted to a 'proper journalist'. When he is sent to report on the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, he meets dangerous Russian dancer Marcella Dimitrieva and gets swept up in the strange and confusing world of the Fringe shows whilst inexplicably finding himself at the centre of a mystery. When the first murder takes place, Stanley feels he has to find some answers, but things just seem to get stranger and stranger. Haunted by his past and mourning the recent loss of his substantial tie collection, is Stanley completely out of his depth? And W.W.D.D - What would Data do?

A Lot to Tell You
This is a collection of letters written by Charles Saunders, a 29yr old 2/Lt in the 15th (Service) battalion, West Yorks Regiment, 'The Leeds Pals.' The letters home to his loved ones, detail his training in the army before being posted to France and his marriage to his sweetheart, Alma Calver. They express his hopes for the future and the promise of a better life to come after the war's end. Sadly for Charles this was not to be and his letters serve as a testament to a young man who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of his country. The letters do not contain any startling revelations or stirring tales of action but are presented here as a monument to one of the 'Lost Generation' who went to war between 1914-1918 and never returned. His final letter home to his wife, Alma, three days before his death in action makes for particularly poignant reading. Lest we forget.
When I Followed the Elephant
When I Followed the Elephant offers a glimpse of dodgy American ideals shortly before the rise of Barack Obama and Obama-mania. It's an uncertain time that preludes the explosive growth of the controversial Tea Party Movement. America is entering into yet another grim cycle of extreme religious and political polarization. The year is 2007 and the Presidential Primaries are right around the corner. America is electric with a new sense of political fervor.

Desi's a...

Under These Stars
Sarah, an early twenties writer for a respected San Francisco literary journal, is getting more and more recognition in the art world. As her budding status slowly climbs into the upper echelon, so does her punishing consumption of alcohol. Sarah soon finds herself about to be terminated at the journal due to her extreme indulgences with drinking libations. Sarah decides to take to the road all by herself for wanted escape and freedom, as well as to ponder her conflicted relationship with her boyfriend Theo. After many provocative and dubious romps with many friends who she visits in select cities around America, Sarah soon accepts her addiction to alcohol and seeks to sober up. Sarah's passion for literature and indie music helps her sail along the many difficult and lonely miles around the country. Under These Stars is a contemplative road odyssey that shakes the beehive of post-college, early-career existence and distributes sweet honey to all who seek to better their damaging, cyclic ways.
Dear Everybody

Michael Kimball fills in the story of Jonathon's life through his letters, bringing the reader to laughter and tears in an involving and sympathetically written work of fiction.
