To Say Goodbye
What would you say to your loved ones if you were only given a short time to live?
Having to leave family behind is a cruel fate, made worse when they are children. These are the touching words of a father to his daughter after being diagnosed with a brain tumour, knowing that she is too young to understand.
All they have is hope...

Coming Up For Air
You must write about what you know, but what if all you know is a lie? A student finds himself with blood on his hands, an author counts the cost. The lines between reality and fiction are blurred, as a writer finds that the only way out - is to rewrite the past. Manipulation for a common goal - to survive. When the lies become too easy, it's time for change...

Panic And The Inner Monkey
The idea behind the Panic Monkey was first developed back in 1998. The subjects of anxiety and panic disorder are still relatively clouded in mystery, and are widely misunderstood. A great number of people have not found solace in the traditional self help market, and this is something that needs addressing.
The fusion of self help/fiction books is a new phenomena, but the notion that by reading a story based on fact, with characters that people are able to empathise with, could possibly help the reader is fast becoming more accepted.
The study of ridiculousness in the office chain of command, and the revelation at the end - are evocative of the best elements of 'Something Happened' by Joseph Heller. Initial reviews for the book have been glowing.

The Unaired Views Of A Twenty Four Year Old Nobody
"Buckingham Palace isn't a bad sized place…" Have you ever wondered why young people don't vote? Or how hospitals could be run more efficiently? Or why you should never buy a potentially expensive navigation system for your boat?
Alya's having a busy life - he's a part-time DJ, full-time electrician and he can even be seen treading the boards from time to time.
'The Unaired Views Of A Twenty Four Year Old Nobody' is a humorous take on Alya's journey so far, with subjects that many will relate to. It also gives an insight into the workings of a typical young person in the UK today.

Poetry
Dark Dawns Bring Blood
Death. Destruction. Drugs. Debt. Deceit. Delinquents. Desperation. Deviants. Depression. Damage. Desire.
Forget sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll - this book promises no good times. Instead, what's left is a harsh reality of existence provided by Alya's unique blend of both traditional rhymes and contemporary free verse poetry.
This is a place that should never exist, whether in mind or physical presence, but seems to have escaped the censors of creation and been allowed to roam freely. A book that begged to be written, take hold of it's covers and try to deny the characters that unfold - you can't help but recognise them from your own world. And they're out there...
**Contains strong language and adult themes**
Don't Paint Your Camel With Enamel
Poems and stories to entertain adults
By Terry Lander and Sarah Ashley
"This is an unusual blend of poetry and short stories with characters I found very appealing due to the impossibility of connecting with their situations! A warm and charismatic book...with a tribute to Spike Milligan that I'm sure he would have approved of."
"Lander is genuinely funny and has an edge. Sarah Ashley is able to immediately affect - her work bounds up to you like an eager puppy, and you can't help but smile. Together they have produced a book that not only entertains, but is also absorbing; the reader is taken on a series of journeys that all evoke a different reaction. Some of it will make you smile, some is melancholic, but all is joyous. This is a fun book."
