Book excerpt: Whilst the following story is completely true, I have slightly changed my own identity in order to avoid prosecution and/or violent death--or, at the very least, a good kicking. Not that any of the events contained herein were my fault--or at least none of the important ones. Or only some of them. Unless you include obtaining money under false pretenses. Or the borrowing of various motor vehicles without permission. Or perverting the course of justice. And, of course, the use of sarcasm and choice language in a built-up area. Oh, and being party to the kidnapping of several young people with multiple disabilities, though that was definitely just a case of being caught up in the excitement of the moment. And the same could really be said about all the explosions, the arson, the molesting of various indigents and the so-called high treason charge that, in my opinion, was trumped up because none of the other stuff was going to stick in court.

Download or read book Angels of the mud written by Barry William Doughty and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old Portsmouth, England is walking distance to the dockyard and resting place to Nelson's flagship: HMS Victory. Today Old Portsmouth, also known as Spice Island, is a very upmarket area, but In 1907 it was a place to be avoided. It was a naval red light area where Pub brawls were commonplace and in warmer months, tide permitting, ragged kids would tussle in the harbour mud for coins thrown to them by travellers from the causeway above. These are the facts that separate the following fiction. At Boswell's: naval outfitters a young seamstress is brutally murdered. The vacant post is filled by Nell Masters, a pretty sixteen-year-old. Nell, having lost her father in a fatal accident is made to be the bread-winner for her and her work-shy young mother. Nell finds her first love while working at Boswell's but jealousy and conspiracy among fellow workers result in Nell being threatened by the hangman's noose. This is the beginning of a fast moving and gripping tale.

Even worse, he has no idea what to get Alfie for their first Christmas since reuniting. With time to find a present running out, he’s willing to take any suggestions he can get. But being trapped in a dreary manor house in Scotland certainly limits his options. And what could an earl like Alfie even want that he doesn’t already have? A "His Lordship's Mysteries" short story, set after the events of “His Lordship’s Master” and containing spoilers for the first two books. Available for free at www.SamanthaSoRelle.com.
Download or read book Tomorrow written by Nick Gifford and published by infinity plus. This book was released on with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tomorrow: a future only you can see; a future only you can save... When fifteen-year-old Luke's father dies, his eccentric family threatens to descend into chaos. Luke distracts himself by helping to sort through his father's belongings, a painful process which takes on an entirely new dimension when he discovers that his father had somehow had knowledge of events in his own future. This prescience is connected in some way to a recent spate of terrorist attacks, which would explain why security forces - and others - start to take an interest in Luke's discovery. Just what had his father known, and why are Luke and his friends suddenly at the centre of it all? Tomorrow: an emotion- and time-tangled thriller set in the War Against Chronological Terror. Tomorrow: when three teenagers may have the power to save or destroy a world that is yet to be. Praise for Nick Gifford's work: 'The king of children's horror' - Sunday Express "Another great teen thriller." Spot On "Ingenious ... this chilling story reads with all the power and demented logic of a thoroughly bad dream." The Independent "A contemporary thriller with overtones of Orwell and Huxley about it." Rhyl Journal "A story that genuinely chills and chafes at ethical and moral certainty... Erased is a real romp of a read. That it equips readers with an awareness of the mechanics of inhumanity must be a step towards ensuring history's mistakes are not repeated." Achukareviews
