The Secret Catamite: 1. The Book of Daniel
A trilogy telling a story of love and loyalty, passion and perversion, betrothal and betrayal, triumph and tragedy; biographical novels that chart one man's attempts to rise above the legacy of a traumatic childhood, going to the very brink of suicide and the efforts to understand and come to terms with himself and his actions. This first book follows the protagonist Simon through childhood, growing up with a distant father and his developing friendship and eventual love affair with an older boy. This account is not suitable for those under 18 years of age or those who find explicit sexual narrative and descriptions of sexual violence offensive.
Apostrophe Catastrophe
The apostrophe causes more problems in the English language than any other aspect of grammar. Grown adults with a university education don’t know how to use it properly, and our high streets are filled with hilarious examples of its misuse. Join the pedants as they revolt against the misuse of this essential piece of punctuation and with one simple rule learn how to use the apostrophe correctly – once and for all."Welcome to the pedants' club. I'm struggling to find a way of faulting your theory...and having a bit of trouble. Well done." - John Humphrys, BBC Journalist and Presenter, BBC Radio 4 'Today'
Pray the Gay Away
2013 Finalist for the Lambda Literary Awards, LGBT Studies category Barton argues that conventional Southern manners and religious institutions provide a foundation for homophobia in the Bible Belt In the Bible Belt, it’s common to see bumper stickers that claim One Man + One Woman = Marriage, church billboards that command one to “Get right with Jesus,” letters to the editor comparing gay marriage to marrying one’s dog, and nightly news about homophobic attacks from the Family Foundation. While some areas of the Unites States have made tremendous progress in securing rights for gay people, Bible Belt states lag behind. Not only do most Bible Belt gays lack domestic partner benefits,...
A Little Book of Islam
Islam is scary. Muslims are scary. Or so many westerners think, and after the recent history of terrorism carried out by Muslims in the name of Islam, one can understand it if that is all they know about approximately 1.25 billion people on the planet, or about one in six people on Earth. Islam is more than just a religion as the term is usually seen in the west by most people. It is a whole way of life and is central to a Muslim's existence. But is this scary? Fear can often be explained by ignorance of the other and I hope that this little book will help in a small way to spread a little more knowledge of Islam and its followers and help to bridge a widening gap between Muslims and the societies in the west where they live.

A Kill in the Morning
" I don't like killing, but I'm good at it. Murder isn't so bad from a distance, just shapes popping up in my scope. Close-up work though a garrotte around a target's neck or a knife in their heart it's not for me. Too much empathy, that's my problem. Usually. But not today. Today is different . . . The year is 1955 and something is very wrong with the world. It is fourteen years since Churchill died and the Second World War ended. In occupied Europe, Britain fights a cold war against a nuclear-armed Nazi Germany. n Berlin the Gestapo is on the trail of a beautiful young resistance fighter, and the head of the SS is plotting to dispose of an ailing Adolf Hitler and restart the war against Britain and her empire. Meanwhile, in a secret bunker hidden deep beneath the German countryside, scientists are experimenting with a force far beyond their understanding. Into this arena steps a nameless British assassin, on the run from a sinister cabal within his own government, and planning a private war against the Nazis. And now the fate of the world rests on a single kill in the morning . . ."

One Man's Poison
Martin Winthrop and Christine Tyler find themselves posted on a top-secret joint intelligence mission to Istanbul.

But all is not as it seems, and the deeper they dig, the more worrying connections to his past Martin finds.
Street Kid
Sexually abused by his father and barely tolerated by his mother, Steven vows revenge but "because I couldn't take it out on my father directly, I knew that it would have to be with someone else. It would be some poor, unsuspecting sucker who would have to shoulder the responsibility of my father's licentiousness. This whole dilemma became my obsession." So, 13 year old Steven took his first tentative steps as a rent boy in an English provincial city. Taken in hand by Andy, Steven is inducted into the local gay rent scene by a tight knit coterie of lads who provide the care and security denied to him at home. Juggling the demands of the racks, school, home and his obsession with art, Steven embarks on a journey which would bring pain, laughter and sadness as well as discovering the value of friendship and what monsters some people could be. Steven's story features many eccentric and comic characters who add a touch of light heartedness and lunacy to a journey in which he lurches from dark encounters to absurd and outrageous situations as well as everything in between.
