Running Out of Tears
Child abuse.
If Not Now, When?
TV personality, founder of Childline, writer and broadcaster, Esther Rantzen has spent her life tirelessly campaigning on behalf of children and mental health sufferers. In this personal and anecdotal handbook, she turns her attention to the baby boomer and shows how, ultimately, reaching your fifties and beyond is just the beginning. Starting from her own experiences whether it be her childhood, the death of her husband, her battle with prejudice against women in the media, laughter and the love of friends, irritations with brainless ageism, the importance of travel, sex and good health all is of huge relevance and will give the fifty-something-plus-year-old a huge jolt of recognition, or a shocked gasp, or a laugh. Interspersed with practical advice and the occasional nostalgic rant, this is a fun celebration and an inspiration for the nations 17 million baby boomers.

Happy Old You
Be bolder as you grow older, and make sure you float above any challenges that threaten to overwhelm you. Multi-award-winning broadcaster, founder of Child Line and Silver Line, campaigner, journalist, author, not forgetting mother and grandmother, joyous life force of our times Dame Esther Rantzen dazzles in the glory of getting older and ever bolder. And now in this punchy, energizing A-Z, she looks back from her ninth decade, and shares her most significant memories, from meeting Princess Diana to creating a national outrage with a short film about a driving dog, and reflects with candour and humour on the lessons she's learnt, revealing the hints, hacks and personal philosophies that have been her secrets of surviving almost everything. Although she covers her most recent challenge in a powerful Afterword, this is a book about living, not dying. We may not all achieve what Dame Esther has, but here we can soak up her wisdom, laugh with her, learn from her, embrace the passing years and march boldly on.

Psychic Quest
Following a formative childhood meeting with the soul of her recently deceased grandmother, Natalie Osborne-Thomason's consuming interest has been to research and write about ghosts. As a natural psychic, she is blessed with the gift of being able to deepen this quest beyond the capacities of most ghost hunters, allowing her to sense, perceive and experience what many cannot. Following on from her acclaimed Ghost Hunting Case Book, Psychic Quest features Osborne-Thomason's many personal experiences of ghosts and her own search for answers. Interlaced with autobiographical glimpses, Osborne-Thomason tells of psychic episodes and ghostly encounters, including her meeting with the ghost of Pengersick Castle and the haunting spirit of Woodford church. She also tells of clairvoyant intuitions in Jerusalem, how she prevented a car crash, her opportunity to read the U.S. President's palm, the delights of overnight vigils in musty locations and much more. In her thoughtful conclusion, the author suggests a solution to the mystery of ghosts, and indicates how ghosts might manifest. She also gives a list of ghostly locations for would-be ghost hunters.
