Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aiming to be a clan chief is easy when you have the right credentials. It’s a bit more tricky when you haven’t any. But lack of proof need be no barrier when you’re absolutely brimming with all the right stuff to make a great chief. At least that’s the theory according to billionaire, ego-maniac, Gordon Weever. No one is going to get in Weever’s way. And just to make sure, he hires a pair of crooks to see off his rival. The crooks though have problems of their own, only a little dog can help them. They need to get their hands on that dog, and an increasingly desperate Weever needs to get hands on something that passes for real credentials. Standing in their way is a plucky band of villagers who are out to thwart them both.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helen Kings and Alma Carneggio couldn’t be more different: Helen makes a living as a single-mum and partner in a London law firm, while Alma lives a privileged life as the wife of a Milanese industrial aristocrat. Yet, their lives are haunted by the same tragedy: the mysterious death of Luca Carneggio, Alma’s son and Helen’s lover- and the father of Helen’s teenage daughter Emmy, an illegitimate child and therefore a disgrace to the Carneggio family. While Alma drifts through her days on painkillers and tranquillizers, hiding in her family’s estate, Helen is keeping up the façade of a tough self-made woman. But in her quiet moments, only a ghost Luca keeps her company – and her resentment towards the Carneggios alive. She blames them for the dreams she had to give up. But as Emmy turns into a young adult, this truth is being challenged - until it finally falls apart. The reader follows Alma and Helen on their winded - and sometimes funny - ways to come to terms with their past, finding a new way of being after having lost what they loved the most. When Alma is suddenly stripped of her family corset, she begins to long for meeting her only granddaughter. But is it too late for a new beginning?

Download or read book The Boy Made the Difference written by Matt Bishop and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rex, a husband and father, makes an unintentional error. Will Rex get away with his terrible, taboo-busting mistake? This opening premise is the starting gun to a rollicking ride through London of the late 1980s and early 1990s, in a literary novel that focuses on human frailty, love, marriage, family bonds, gay sex, betrayal, alcoholism, illness and death. Although aspects of the novel are richly ironic and even comedic, it also deals with challenging themes, not least HIV/AIDS. Matt Bishop wrote The Boy Made the Difference because very few (if any) literary novels are set against the narrative backdrop of the HIV/AIDS crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s, which had a profound and lasting impact on the gay community. All of the proceeds from the book sales will be donated to his late mother’s charity – the Bernardine Bishop Appeal (part of CLIC Sargent – a charity that helps children, young people and their families who are suffering the effects of cancer).
