Book Description
Can you believe what you see? Let me ask you that another way. Can you really, unquestionably believe what you see? Can you really, unquestionably believe that anything you have seen actually exists, even though you have touched it? Bill Colbert thinks he inherited a field. Although this, in itself, is a surprise, more surprising is the manor house, five cottages and Trout stream that are all part of the inheritance. Little did Bill realise that he inherited a nightmare. A nightmare that will make him question his own sanity. Five cottages, all with rose bordered picture windows that hide the simplicity of the lives that live in those cottages. Five cottages, all with secrets of their own. Five secrets, hidden behind those rose bordered windows. Secrets that have been forgotten with the passage of time. Secrets that should be forgotten. Dark secrets. Secrets that no one wants repeated. Born in Sheffield in 1950 Bill is now retired and lives with Sheila, his wife of over fifty-three years. He has enjoyed a diverse life, fulfilling varied roles in the army, in employment and in retirement. In 1966, at the age of 15½, he joined the army and enjoyed many overseas postings, with extended tours in Northern Ireland, France, Cyprus, Kenya, Iran, Bermuda and the USA. He culminated his Army career in 1977 as an instructor at his regiment’s depot. After leaving the army, Bill has been employed as a surveyor, lecturer, technical adviser to an insurer and, just prior to retirement, as a self-employed health and safety consultant. Bill is a published author and is also a published music composer and arranger.

Book Description
How many people have coveted their neighbour’s big premium bond win? How many have thought how lucky someone is for winning big on the National Lottery? How many, do you think, have just wished that they had more good luck in their lives? Eight people have had all these thoughts. What these eight people don’t realise is that the quicker they use up their good luck, the nearer they are to having a shed load of bad luck. What they also don’t realise is that once they have maxed out on good luck, their ultimate outlook is not what they expect… In more ways than they care to imagine! Playing an on-line game, the eight finalists don’t know that if they lose the game, they die. Something else they don’t know is that if they win the game, they die. Either way, they’re dead...

Book Description
Katherine is 17, living alone in the beautiful, desolate landscape of southern Arizona. Her mother is feckless, her father busy with his new family. Meeting Son, the scion of a local rancher, seems like deliverance. They marry and live as a family in his parents' venerable adobe house, but it soon becomes clear that Son is a man who, as his father says, has a "young heart near withered beneath the breastbone." Katherine must find her own way during a dangerous months-long drought, when everything seems to be disintegrating around her. Susan Froderberg's incantatory language -- and her deep knowledge of both the complexities of a small, deeply-rooted place and the human heart -- make Old Border Road soar.

Book Description
Caroline Winslow is a graduate in Economics, who has so far failed to fulfill her potential: to the shock of friends and family she was convicted of shoplifting the day before her final exams. Seemingly happy to 'sit out' her own life, she finds a menial job in a small export firm in London. But fate has in mind other plans for Caroline, and within a few short months she is involved in a passionate affair with an immigrant doctor from Romania and on her way to becoming an unwilling accomplice in a dangerous game. Unexpectedly invited on a business trip to Romania by her boss, Jennifer, the action takes us to that part of Europe still painfully emerging from the grip of Communism. It is here that the tables start to turn, and an innocent trip motivated by personal curiosity starts to become something sinister. While the relationship with her boss and a travel companion has an acceptably professional tone at the beginning of the journey, Caroline increasingly finds herself in the position of subordinate. Unexpectedly, Jennifer takes on a much more dominant, and eventually menacing role. Although a number of unexplained anomalies create a sense of disaster about to happen, Caroline starts to play an internal game of denial against her own instincts: not trusting herself enough to admit her own fears and not quite brave enough to confront Jennifer out-right. 'Crossing Borders' is a novel about how an ordinary girl can be unwittingly led to disaster when the weaknesses of her own character are so cunningly manipulated by another. It is also a story about the desire to be loved and the difficult choices we must make in life. In order to keep the man she loves, Caroline must cross not only the physical and cultural borders which separate countries and peoples; she must traverse the territories of fear and human weakness.

Book Description
An Inconvenient Wife is a rich blend of suspense, social history (America in the 1880s), and passion.
