."The Scrapping Sky Pilot" chronicles the early life of the Rev. J.U. Robins, as he grew up in Port Rowan, a small village on Lake Erie in southern Ontario and as a young man, taught in Detroit. Then after hearing the "Call" of God headed West to British Columbia in the late 1800's to open Churches in Rossland, Golden and serve in Revelstock and Sandon British Columbia. Mission life was hard, dangerous and had its humourous times. Leaving his true love thousands of miles behind was one of the hardest things he did. The man, places and many of the events are true. The people he interacted with over these years are fictional The source for this novel comes from a tape recording, made on an old reel to reel tape that Robins made when he was well into his eighties. I praise God that he shared such rich stories with the family and now I take this opportunity to share them with you. May you loose yourself in a time long ago, in snow storms, lumber camps, fights and a love that lasted a life time - through the stories of a man who "fought" for God. Shalom Keith

The 'Liverpool Lambs': The role of the Liverpool Irish Volunteers in the Easter Rising (1916)

The Easter Rising was an implosive rebellion that, although a failure, resulted in partial Irish independence in 1921 and later an Irish Republic in 1949. Within the implosion was the Liverpool Irish Volunteers whose role has been overlooked significantly by historians. This book explores in-depth the role of the Liverpool Irish Volunteers both before, during and after the Easter Rising with some interesting findings.

This book was originally submitted by Declan as an MA thesis at Liverpool Hope University in 2020, later turning into a book in 2022.

After 1848 political revolution disappears in England and grows in Ireland. Like countries in southern and eastern Europe, Ireland was not developing its population, technology, wealth, or its middle class as was England. Celtic Ireland was at the edge of extinction. How did the Irish turn this around? There were three kinds of response to this challenge: One acquiescence, supporting the Act of Union with ‘Great Britain’ (1800); Two, compromise, partial administrative repeal of the Act of Union, ‘Home Rule’; Three, fight for an independent Irish republic by revolutionary means, like George Washington in 1776.

The Untouchables

The Untouchables: Anfield's Band of Brothers chronicles the rise and fall of one of the greatest Liverpool teams ever. In 1918 an enlisted man, Tom Bromilow, stepped off the streets of Liverpool and straight into the team. Still in uniform, he was one of tens of thousands of Liverpudlians who fought in World War One. His signing completed a jigsaw that eventually revealed an image of footballing perfection, a team so great they were called 'The Untouchables'. The book brings to life a host of incredible characters, uncovers friendships and rivalries and reveals amazing backstories. Meet men like Bootle-born Walter Wadsworth, tough-talking Irishman Elisha Scott, champion boxer Jock McNab and many other fascinating figures. The Untouchables reveals previously unknown detail and sheds new light on old controversies, including the real reason behind the departure of the club's manager, Dave Ashworth. Meticulously researched and lovingly told, the book breathes new life into a fascinating and long-forgotten story.
