Belfast Gate
It's Belfast in 2019 and despite more than twenty years of peace, scores of so-called peace walls continue to separate Catholic and Protestant neighbourhoods. Jean Beattie's grief turns to anger when police refuse to open the peace gate at the end of her street to allow her best friend's funeral procession through to her church on the other side of the peace wall. The gate remains closed because local youths, led by Sam on one side and Seamie on the other, are recreational rioting. Comforted by her friends Roberta, Bridget and Patricia from the cross-community pensioners' club, Jean vows the gate will be opened. On the fiftieth anniversary of the erection of the peace walls, in the era of Brexit and Trump's border wall, the themes in Tony Macaulay's laugh-out-loud novel resonate far beyond Northern Ireland.'Belfast Gate is a terrific read, well plotted and insightful...A film or TV deal surely beckons.'

Angels at Twenty Past
In the grand scheme of things, one burglary at your parents’ house – especially when nothing appears to have been taken – barely makes an impact. It certainly doesn’t in rich girl Cassie Greatrex’s life as she returns to work with the incident pretty much forgotten. Until, that is, Colin Bardsey steps into the salon. Arresting, magnetic, he makes it very clear what he wants and what he wants is Cassie…at least, that’s what she thinks until their dinner date is interrupted by a fiery young Welsh undergraduate out for blood. Huw Trefor makes no bones about the fact that he considers Colin dirt; and what he as to say ultimately brings to light a long-buried truth with its roots in...
Little House on the Peace Line

Seal-folk and Ocean Paddlers
Foremost in Scottish Hebridean tradition are the tales of the sea-folk - seals who could assume human form, but could not return to the sea without their sealskin belts. Against the background of such beliefs, the fact of strange people in kayaks being occasionally seen around the islands off the north and west of Scotland was probably not worth special mention, until travellers from the mainland heard of these sightings in the 17th and 18th centuries. This study draws together historical fact and maritime folklore to reveal some spellbinding mysteries of the ocean, involving seals and kayaks, Norse ancestry and the children of the seal.
The Story of Simon
“Oh God, Kate, what the hell have you talked me into?” “Only the best night of your entire life, Simon, and you can thank me later...” Simon knows nothing about the fetish scene. His only experience with dominant women was his last girlfriend. But that taste has left him longing for more. He dreams of meeting a Mistress to help him explore his interest in femdom. After a drunken confession to his friend, Kate, she persuades him to join her at a BDSM club. Innocent and out of his depth, what would possibly go wrong? Simon hopes this exotic new world will offer him everything he craves. Too shy to find a partner, he lets Kate push him into another bad decision – signing up for the sl...
Macaulay
Sullivan offers a portrait of a Victorian life that probes the cost of power, the practice of empire, and the impact of ideas. Devoting his talents to gaining power—above all for England and its empire—made Macaulay’s life a tragedy. Sullivan offers an unrivaled study of an afflicted genius and a thoughtful meditation on the modern ethics of power.
