How Not To Write A Book - Mereo Books
Mereo Books editor in chief posed the question when asked to name their ideal job, more people in the UK say they would like to be an author than anything else. Yet with more than 200,000 books now being published here a year and over two million worldwide, the competition is getting fiercer by the minute. As editor in chief of a successful self-publishing house, Chris Newton spends most of his waking hours editing and ghostwriting books for other people, and he knows all about how books can go wrong and how they can be put right. He is also a successful published author, one of his books having been acclaimed by a professional reviewer as having a good claim to be the finest biography of an angler ever written.
Live An Adventure
ÿ "Life can seem mundane, ordinary or awful - or it can be an adventure..." In this book David King, an international lecturer and a church leader for more than 30 years, is sharing his journey in faith in the hope of inspiring the reader to live a life of adventure in his or her own way, without letting the challenges and stumbling blocks of life deter them from their goals. "Whatever your adventure, I trust you will find helps, hints and concepts which progress you forward... most of all, I trust that my adventure will encourage you to explore Christ, His claims and His church, with a view to including these in your adventure. Remember, the best is yet to come!"
Jealous Justice
Alan Thorne, the son of a soldier and a midwife from the Welsh Valleys, rose through the ranks of his local police force to become a chief superintendent in his early forties, with an outstanding reputation and several awards and commendations to his credit. However, along the road he made one or two enemies. This is the story of how a decent `top copper' found himself framed by jealous colleagues for a non-existent offence and had no choice but to resign from the force and rebuild his life - and how he then found himself facing a terrible personal tragedy. A fascinating and very frank insight into how policing works - and how sometimes it doesn't. ÿ
Risk V Reward
None
Marching Orders
ÿClive Hopkins's parents were Salvation Army Officers, which meant their sons had to endure six hours of religious meetings every Sunday (and no football), most kinds of pleasure (including girls) were off limits and friendships were disrupted by frequent moves to new postings. When finally at the age of 14 Clive was coerced into becoming a Soldier himself, it was a step too far, and like his older brother he rebelled and became a 'backslider'. He has now written this entertaining and moving memoir of a youth spent trying to balance the desire to enjoy a normal boyhood with the demands of his parents' calling. In his story, Clive captures evocatively a lost world - and finally resolves a family mystery.
Pigeon Man
Jim Emerton bred and raced birds for 40 years and had birds return to the loft from as far as 879 miles away. Now in retirement from active racing, he devotes his time and energies to sharing his experiences, his observations and his expertise with the rest of the fancy. Here in one volume is a comprehensive collection of his thoughts about pigeons and pigeon racing, ranging from short pieces originally written for the leading fanciers' magazines to full-length articles and interviews. "What unites us in principle is the common good of the sport, and with this in mind I do what I can for others - it all oils the cogs of the sport. Some will see me as a know-all, yet I am a quiet little man making my mark, that's all. What is true is that I have made a life study of pigeons, and as a teacher I like to impart knowledge and experience...My aim is purely to tell it as it is to me, and if this is illuminating to others, then so be it."ÿ
An Extraordinary Sacrifice
ÿOn September 18 2012, PC Nicola Hughes and her colleague PC Fiona Bone were shot dead by a psychopathic criminal called Dale Cregan who had lured the young officers to his doorstep by making a false 999 call. The crime shocked the whole of Britain. While Cregan serves life sentences for the murders with a recommendation that he should never be freed, Nicola?s father Bryn, a former prison officer, constantly relives his memories of the day he lost his daughter. To try to deal with his grief and to create a force for good from an act of evil, he has set up a charity in her name which has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds to help young people who have lost someone close through crime. The police and the people of Britain have united to help him. Now Bryn has told Nicola?s story, from the joy of her birth through to the terrible circumstances of her death at the age of just 23, as well as the challenging aftermath.
Cycling into the Unexpected
Fran Adams and her family have been travelling abroad on two wheels for more than thirty years, and their adventures have ranged from getting shipwrecked in a mountain torrent to straying on to a Spanish motorway and getting stuck on a precipice, along with one or two painful road accidents and of course, frequently getting lost in the middle of nowhere. This is a collection of fond memories of Fran's cycling adventures with her partner and sons in England, Wales, France, Spain and Italy. ÿ
Living with Lisa
Lisa Keepence grew up playing football, climbing trees and racing pushbikes with the lads. Lisa had no doubt that she was a boy, but every time she looked in the mirror, she saw what everyone else saw - the face and body of a girl. When her world was plunged into disaster by a broken home, she drifted into a life of despair, drugs, abuse, crime and imprisonment. Terrified of sharing the truth about her identity with the world, she could only date girls by pretending to be lesbian. Finally, when there seemed to be no future, a series of supernatural encounters helped Lisa to summon the strength to face up to the truth about her gender and find a way of living a normal life in the body she - or rather he - should have been born with. This is the true story of a young man who grew up locked inside the wrong body, and the agonising ordeal he endured in order, eventually, to escape.ÿ
Sleeping With The Rabbits
Susanne Defoe suffered parental violence and bullying at school on a daily basis throughout her childhood, finding comfort only with her pet rabbits: "One of my first memories was of climbing into the rabbit hutch and snuggling down into the straw to sleep... I just stayed there until they found me. I was only two and a half and I was missing for almost two hours." Desperate to escape from her controlling father and ignorant mother, she found herself pregnant at fifteen by a boy who turned out to be a waster who spent all his wages in the pub. This is the story of how Susanne struggled to escape from a life of abuse, cruelty and ignorance to try to gain some self-respect and a decent life for herself and her four daughters.ÿ
