A Farewell to Baker Street
There is always room in the world for more gripping tales about the exploits of the inimitable Sherlock Holmes and the redoubtable Dr Watson. Here is a collection of five previously unknown cases from the astonishing career of the consulting detective and his ever-loyal partner. An Affair of the Heart demonstrates the critical interplay between the two men which made their partnership so memorable and endearing. The Curious Matter of the Missing Pearmain is a classic locked-room mystery, whileThe Case of the Cuneiform Suicide NoteseesDr Watson using his expert knowledge in helping to solve the mystery surrounding the death of an academic. In A Study in Versethe pair assists the Birmingham City Police in a complicated case of robbery which leads them towards a new and dangerous adversary. And to complete the collection, we have The Trimingham Escapade, the very last case the pair enjoyed together, which neatly showcases the inestimable talents of Sherlock Holmes. All of these tales are designed to contribute in some small part to the lasting memory of two extraordinary men who once occupied that setting we have come to know and love as 221B Baker Street.
Reflections of My Life
Living in a quiet corner of rural Northern Ireland in the 50s and 60s, children had an idyllic freedom to explore plus a healthy respect for hard work and community spirit. Moving from this, to the bustle and confusion of London, enjoying a short spell living in historic Bath to then living in the Far East, was in itself a lifetime experience. But follow this on with a broken marriage, a protracted divorce and the harsh realities of living with the ‘troubles’ in Northern Ireland, was a route not experienced by everyone. Starting again, in the hitherto unknown world of a ‘word smith’ in Public Relations, which included working across the UK, Europe, Bosnia (during and post-conflict) and in Kosovo (post-conflict), was a new route. This process was an accidental rather than a deliberate choice. It flowed out of necessity, drawn by instinctive reaction to circumstances rather than by design. These experiences form the basis of this narrative.
Coach B Fearless
Coach B Fearless By: Lamont Bryant (Coach B) Chronicling Lamont Bryant’s childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, Coach B Fearless: Beating All Odds tells the story of inner-city basketball life in Chicago. At times educational, at times historical, Bryant tells his story: the story of how he rose from humble beginnings to become the man he is today. It’s a profound tale of both his personal and professional journeys. Bryant has played alongside, coached, and worked with some of the top names in basketball in high school, the NCAA, and the NBA. Both of the documentary movies Hoop Dreams, in 1994, and its sequel, Hoop Reality, in 2007, were filmed on his courts, about his boys. Just as each of these are must-see movies, Coach B Fearless: Beating All Odds is a must-read book.
The Game Plays You
Happiness. It is a hot commodity sought by millions of people. Some seek it in food, drugs, alcohol, or sex, and some even try to buy it. However, most people, especially women, look for happiness in relationships. We search for years, go from one man to another, and stay in loveless, abusive, or dysfunctional relationships, hoping to find this euphoric, drug-like sensation no matter how long it takes. But how much time do we have? Life is not guaranteed, yet we act as if we have a warranty, like if this life doesn't work or gets destroyed, we can return it for a brand-new one. That's a dangerous game we women play since there are no give-backs or do-over's. Once we're gone, we're gone. The only life game we should play is the board game. It's fantasy, and, at the end, if you lose or don't like how your "life" turned out you can start over. But this life --this is the game you don't play ... the game plays you.
The Last Days of Big Grassy Fork
The Last Days of Big Grassy Fork recounts newspaperman Hunter James's attempts to save his 100-year-old family farm and homestead from extinction. Wise, irreverent, pugnacious, and often hilarious, James fights back against the galloping urbanization of his beloved North Carolina piedmont. Interweaving current affairs and family history, James details the growth of the Winston-Salem area as a center of Moravian piety and later as the world's largest tobacco manufacturing center. This personal history shows he is not the only James to have had a difficult time fitting in with the neighbors' idea of progress; his family's trouble in the Piedmont began early. In 1904 his grandfather was flooded...
