Wreckers and other strange tales
With over thirty tales in this collection I agonised over which of them should be the cover story. However, the bleak solitude of those storm-tossed light-towers, often built off some wild and windswept, rocky coast, has always fascinated me, and so I chose the drama of the sea, with: ‘Wreckers.’ Even the most elevated families seem to have a black sheep who does not conform, and in ‘Twice Loved’ a wayward young son is to be disowned and banished forever. In the ‘Curse of Khartoum’ a despised mis-fit goes off at a tangent, with surprising results for everyone concerned. Things are rarely as black and white or as straightforward as they seem, and I hope these little tales will show that nothing in life should be taken for granted, or at face value. I leave you to decide if you think I am right. H.R. Book reviews online: PublishedBestsellers website.

Death & Lighthouses on the Great Lakes: A History of Murder and Misfortune
The author of Michigan's Haunted Lighthouses shares tales of disaster and misfortune on the Great Lakes. Losing one's life while tending to a Great Lakes lighthouse sadly wasn't such an unusual occurrence. Death by murder, suicide or other tragic causes--while rare--were not unheard of. Two keepers on Lake Superior's Grand Island disappeared one early summer day in 1908, their decomposed remains found weeks later. A newly hired and some say depressed keeper on Pilot Island in Wisconsin's Door County slit his own throat after a consultation with a local butcher about the location of the jugular vein. A smallpox outbreak in the late 1890s led to the tragic death of a lighthouse hired hand on South Bass Island in Lake Erie. Join author Dianna Stampfler as she uncovers the facts (and debunks some fiction) behind some of the Great Lakes' darkest lighthouse tales.
Eastwood Nottinghamshire
What is there to say about Eastwood? Well, there is quite a lot say and see and do, with an ever-increasing number of community groups and healthy activities going on, around and about, this wonderfully, gritty old Heritage Town and it's surrounding villages. However this book was not meant to be written, or read, as a student's thesis for a university degree, but more of a celebration of Eastwood, the north Notts and Derbyshire countryside, and its' many talented sons and daughters, both past and present. In effect, it is a labour of love, garnered by the author over four decades of living, bringing up a family, and working amongst the varied and forthright residents. Inevitably there will be omissions, people and places and activities equally deserving of a mention, but I hope you will enjoy this brief snapshot of the kind of place and people who inhabit this area, and that you will come back to sample more.

Wooing the Farmer

At least that’s what she tells herself when she retreats to Axedale to record a new web series and write a cookbook.

Farmer Sam McQuade is immediately attracted to Penelope, but the ultra femme and high maintenance city girl seems way out of her league. When Penelope struggles to get her health on track, Quade insists on being her knight in shining armor, much to Penelope’s displeasure. Quade is annoyingly good-looking, not to mention kindhearted, and falling for her would be so easy. If only it didn’t force Penelope to face the secrets she’s hidden from everyone. Can love alone bring a complex city girl and a simple rural farmer together?
