Idle Eyebrows
Stan Yates was a boy brought up in Darwen who thought he might become a dentist but instead joined the Army. Service life enabled him to travel the world, serving in the Parachute Brigade and the Gurkhas, living in Malaya and Germany and visiting Nepal, Jamaica, America and Libya. In this memoir he recounts with humour stories of his experiences both funny and painful and the odd quirks of Army life. His family life was often disrupted by frequent moves but he and Sheila, his wife, survived the upheavals. He left the Army as a Lieutenant Colonel and after a spell as an Emergency Planning Officer in the Scottish Borders he is now retired and living happily with Sheila in Northumberland. "I didn't know I had idle eyebrows until the Sergeant Major spotted them....."
A Toynbee to Remember
This book is based on 500 letters exchanged between Will and Lizzie Toynbee living in Walthamstow, East London, and their son Stan, who was in Egypt in during First World War. The family was well known in Walthamstow through their involvement in the Brotherhood Movement. Will was president of the Marsh Street Men's Own and Lizzie was president of the complementary Marsh Street Women's Own meetings, which had broken away from Marsh Street Congregational Church. By 1914, the movement had grown from its beginnings in a West Bromwich Congregational Church in the Midlands to a mainly nonconformist membership throughout Britain of 1,200,000, shortly before the war broke out. By the time Stan Toynbee enlisted in the army early in 1915 when the correspondence began, Will was speaking all over the country on the government campaigns. This and Lizzie's experiences and feelings of Stan's absence so far away, form the basis of the 500 letters, which are the reason for the book.

Dead Blow
The Terrific Second Book in the New Horseshoer Mystery Series, Featuring the Incorrigible Female Horse Shoer Rainy Dale A dead blow hammer leaves little to no mark on the surface it strikes.

The old woman says there was hardly a bruise on her dead husband. Why was he driving his tractor so dangerously near the killer bull? How long did it take him to die after the machine rolled and pinned him? The whole town seems aware of the dead man’s wandering eye. Did the widow know? It all happened just before Rainy came to town, about the time that her fiancé, Guy, volunteered with his buddy to help search for a young woman who went missing from Cowdry, Oregon. Rainy is supposed to be making wedding plans and friends, but she can’t help being drawn into the town’s old intrigues. Once again, Rainy will have to dig deep and use all the tools in her box to both defend herself and the people she's just learning to love.
