Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Three: 1796 Should Jiddy stay, or should she go? When Jonas left Robin Hood’s Bay, he abandoned his vows to Jiddy. The sea engulfed Captain Samuel Ryethorpe, and his death exposed her once more as an outsider. Both young men believed they acted with high morals, but it was the amoral Captain Pinkney who threw Jiddy a lifeline. Now, the defiant seventeen-year-old resolves to find choices and freedom for local girls battered by poverty and confined by an insular community. Jiddy is determined. No man, no government, no place will hold them back. As friends find new beginnings, Jiddy looks across the moors to York, where love beckons. The North Sea entices with childhood dreams of distant places, but smuggling and hustling are all she has known. What’s it to be for our endlessly curious and contradictory Jiddy Vardy? Dramatic and atmospheric…I would recommend to fans of historical fiction with strong female leads. – Praise for High Tide by The Pages of Mrs D Brutal, breathtaking and brilliant!

Download or read book Igloo written by Jennifer Burkinshaw and published by Beaten Track Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-18 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A surprise Christmas holiday in the French Alps should be a dream come true, but not for sixteen-year-old Nirvana. She has important plans to complete at home, and tensions are high with her parents. In desperation, Niv skips ski school and heads off-piste towards the forest, where she discovers a hidden igloo. Better still, it’s empty. When its builder, Jean-Louis, finds her trespassing, he suggests they share the igloo, and as the pair find common ground in their struggles to be themselves, they realise they are each other’s perfect Christmas gift. Too soon, Niv must return home to Lancashire. Now in two different countries, each faces new problems, alone, and their battle to be together becomes infinitely harder. Is it a battle they can win? Or will their sweet, fledgling romance be lost to the seasons, like the igloo where it began? Praise for Igloo: “Igloo is a heart-warming story of first love set against the stunning backdrop of the French Alps. I was rooting for Niv and her journey from the start! Nirvana is such an inspiration to girls – particularly given the current market – for standing up for what she believes in. A girl who is passionate about joinery and can make an igloo from scratch? And make her own love story happen at the same time? Go Niv!” – Eve Chancellor, poet and author of short stories on East of the Web

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sunday Times Bestseller and Number 1 Sport Book of 2016 'A tale that's truly inspirational' The Sun An ordinary lad from Sheffield, Jamie Vardy has become known as an against-the-odds footballing hero the world over. Yet a few years ago, things couldn’t have been any more different. Rejected as a teenager by his boyhood club, Jamie thought his chance was gone. But from playing pub football and earning £30 a week at Stocksbridge Park Steels, while still working in a factory, his off-the-cuff performances saw him rise. Jamie had a wild and turbulent youth, but football became his saving grace and, once he filled his boots with goals at FC Halifax Town and Fleetwood Town, he moved to Leicester City. After the miracle of surviving relegation, the team of unlikely outsiders bonded together to achieve the unthinkable: Jamie set the record as the first player to score in 11 consecutive Premier League matches and Leicester beat odds of 5000-1 to become champions. Jamie has now been nominated for the Ballon d’Or, firmly establishing himself as one of England’s leading goal scoring footballers. Not forgetting his roots, however, he has set up the V9 Academy in a bid to find the next big talent from non-league football. Defying all expectations, this is the story of the boy from nowhere who reached the top in his own unflinching, honest words.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: STANLEY RICHARD COLTON, M. D., heaved his powerful form to and fro in his bed and cursed the day he had come to Montant Point, which chanced to be the day just ended. All the world had been open to him, and his father's yacht to bear him to whatsoever corner thereof he might elect, in search of that which, once forfeited, no mere millions may buy back, the knack of peaceful sleep. But his wise old family physician had prescribed the tip-end of Long Island. "Go down there to that suburban wilderness, Dick," he had said, "and devote yourself to filling your lungs with the narcotic ocean air. Practise feeding, breathing and loafing, and forget that you've ever practised medicine."
