Tales From the Hills
Tales From the Hills is a collection of stories from the author's travels in Europe's mountain and wilderness areas including the Alps and Norway as well as closer to home outings in the Lake District, Snowdonia and the Scottish Highlands. The easy to follow and often humourous narrative takes the reader on the road less travelled to Alpine glaciers, Lakeland tarns and the wilds of Scotland. On the way we encounter Dutch caravanners on the mountain roads of Norway, part time peak baggers in the Lake District and a walker in Wales who is so lost he has climbed the wrong mountain. This will appeal to anyone who has a love for walking and the outdoors as well as those who enjoy a good travellers tale.
31 Days in a Campervan
New Zealand or to the native Maori Aotearoa - which means the Land of the Long White Cloud - is a country of almost unrivalled natural diversity. Misty mountains soar above the still waters of the fiords, lonely beaches of golden sand separate the restless ocean from deep primeval rainforests, while towering volcanoes brood above green and pastoral farmland. 31 Days in a Campervan is the story of a journey around New Zealand made during the summer of 2005. Travelling by campervan is arguably the best way to see this fascinating country and the route itself is perhaps one of the finest journeys in the World. If your love is for nature, the outdoors and the freedom of the open spaces then this is a must!
A Long Walk in the Alps
There can be no more enduring symbols of the Alps than the Eiger and the Matterhorn. These two great mountains have inspired climbers throughout Europe while the towns at their feet, Grindelwald and Zermatt, have become World famous resorts. A Long Walk in the Alps describes a journey beginning under the shadow of the Eiger's infamous north wall and finishing in the high meadows beneath the soaring ridges of the Matterhorn. The trail from Grindelwald leads first through the idyllic Jungfrau Region before heading off to high passes, forgotten valleys and sleepy alpine villages on the way to its destination in Zermatt. If you are after a book that gives an insight into the experience of travelling in Switzerland rather than just directions, then A Long Walk in the Alps is for you.
Requiem
The girl’s body lay on the riverbank, her arms outflung. Her blonde hair lay in matted clumps, shockingly pale against the muddy bank. Her face was like a porcelain sculpture that had been broken and glued back together: grey cracks were visible under the white sheen of her dead skin. Her lips were so blue they could have been traced in ink. When the body of troubled teenager Elodie Duncan is pulled from the river in Abbeyford, the case is at first assumed to be a straightforward suicide. Detective Sergeant Kate Redman is shocked to discover that she’d met the victim the night before her death, introduced by Kate’s younger brother Jay. As the case develops, it becomes clear that Elodie...

D-Day Dakotas
On 18 December 1935 when the first flight of the Douglas DC-3 took place, few could have imagined that it would become one of the world’s most celebrated aircraft of all time, not just as a commercial airliner but also as the C-47 military transport. When production ceased in the summer of 1945, a total of 10,926 had been built. This wonderfully versatile aircraft played a significant part in airborne operations around the world; but perhaps its most notable employment occurred during the June 1944 Normandy campaign. This important episode within the wider history of ‘D-Day' is enlivened here in classic fashion by Martin Bowman, in a narrative that features both extensive historical note...
Auburn
Auburn has been a town of many names. Native Americans referred to it as Ilalko, the town's founders called it Slaughter, and finally, city leaders, hoping to attract more visitors and business from the expanding railroad lines, named it Auburn. Auburn has been a hops boomtown, a major railroad hub, and "The Little Detroit of the West." The city has been a home to immigrants from countries around the world, including Japan, Italy, Ireland, and Sweden. Auburn is a growing suburban city with the heart of a small-town farming community that has always been proud of its local businesses and its hardworking citizens.
