What If?
What If? is a contemporary work of magic realism that asks young adults this question, “What is it that you really seek and want from this life?” When swimming in a primeval lake, Bridie ‘finds’ a casket that has a map and this riddle: ‘YOUR HEART’S DESIRE LIES IN THE FOREST…’ To solve the riddle, Bridie, with three other girls who attend an international boarding school in Cornwall in England, set out on a journey that leads to a series of adventures in which they meet, inter alia, HEBS (Highly Evolved Beings), ancestors who live underground on sacred ley-lines, and those who compose the Tablets of Destinies. The girl’s quest centres on their heart’s true desire and is the thread that both sustains the narrative arc and the reader’s interest throughout.
Nature's Interpreter
Inspired by the life and times of Alexander von Humboldt, 1769-1859 , this biography follows Humboldt, who is considered the father of the Natural Sciences and in his day was as well known as Napoleon, and traces his childhood in what was then Prussia, his education at various Universities his training as a mining engineer and how he progressed into the sciences. Duringing the Age of Enlightenment, Humboldt's journey to South America between 1799 and 1804 with Aime Bonpland, changed the course of both their lives and during this period of exploration, they sent back to Paris and Berlin some 6000 samples of new species, minerals and animals. En route the scientists collected a mass of detailed information - cartographical, geological, astronomical, botanical, anthropological and linguistic - that took a life time to decipher.
No Ordinary Man
Hailed by Choice as "a fascinating story," this profile of Cervantes will captivate both scholarly and lay readers.

Robin Rainbow
Robin Rainbow is a contemporary work of fiction written for young adults. The discovery of a casket that contains a map with a riddle sends Robin and his school friends on a quest that leads them to encounter the ever-present forces of Evil that lurk everywhere. Dramatic turning-points that include their capture, escape, recapture, their rescue via celestial beings and their return to ‘everyday reality, dictate the novel’s narrative arc. When at war with the powers of evil, concern at their disappearance from home and school soon becomes global. To find the missing children, huge rewards are offered that tempt bounty-hunters from across the world. Their disappearance is taken more seriously than any illegal invasion of another country or outbreak of Covid-19 and its variants or any alleged alien abduction! Conversational in style, the text both challenges and entertains. The element of surprise, a deep thirst for adventure, the search for knowledge and happiness sustain the reader’s interest throughout.
