Valley of the Kings
Valley of the Kings is both excavation of family history and an incantation of voices telling contemporary stories that startle. This is a visionary debut which, in Graeme Ryan, introduces an exciting new voice to the UK poetry scene.
David Graham
Widely regarded in the golfing world as arrogant and abrasive, David Graham is deeply respected by a few close friends for his unswerving loyalty and honesty. A loner, yet devoted family man, he has risen from a difficult background of ridicule and failure to the highest levels of acclaim in professional golf. The only Australian to win two US majors, this book tells the story of a troubled figure who, like Hamlet, faced "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune".
Nemesis
Alexei has a secret. He is an angel who decides to remain on earth and live life as a child. And he has wings! So far, he has restored his sister to a normal life, survived a kidnapping attempt, and saved the life of his cousin. But further, even bigger, battles await him. Now that they are aware of what their adopted son really is, Steve and Evelyn – his foster parents – have decided to settle on a remote island to give him a better chance of a normal life. In a chain of events that begins with Alexei saving the life of a young hang glider pilot, his life seems, at first, to be taking a turn for the better. But a far more menacing problem is still waiting to test him. Will Alexei, in all his child-like innocence, survive the brutal act of revenge that lies in wait for him?
Beginnings
Alexei has a secret—a secret that makes him different from every other boy in his class. Very different, in fact, from any child he has ever seen—boy or girl. So far, nobody else knows his secret. Not even his foster parents or his sisters. While he has managed to keep it that way for more than a year, it is starting to get more and more difficult to keep his secret with each passing day. More especially now that he is into a new school year at a new and very strict school, a school where he has already been subject to some nasty bullying, because of his slightly “quirky” behaviour and the peculiar way he looks in his rather too large school uniform. Today is Monday—the first day of the third week of the school term—and once again, Alexei has a P.E. class, which means swimming lessons. So far, he has managed to avoid all of them; but there is no way that he can keep doing so without getting punished, quite severely. Going swimming, however, will also reveal his secret, and he is not sure if his classmates, his teachers, his school, or even the world, is quite ready for that! Alexei has wings!

Stableford
Known as the 'Patron Saint of Club Golfers' throughout the world, Dr Frank Barney Gorton Stableford is recognised as one of the most prominent figures in the history of golf.

The Toughest Half
Lasting barely two centuries throughout the 1700s and 1800s, the Industrial Revolution in Britain propelled the country into the role of the world's premier industrial nation. Known as the 'midwife of the Industrial Revolution' coal was, literally, the driving force behind this power. Although referred to as 'the black diamond', coal is not a thing of beauty, yet like the true diamond, it is representative of power and wealth. Coal mining usually evokes images of tough men, glistening with the sweat of underground toil. We talk about man-power and manual labour; the industry has become synonymous with men. Rarely, if ever, do women come to mind, yet, until an Act of 1942 banned them from wor...
