Expressing Reflections on Life through Poetry by Sheila Hopkins
Expressing my reflections on life through poetry has been something I have engaged in for about forty years. Along the way, I have shared my poems with family and friends who have encouraged me to think about publishing them. As I hadn’t got a clue how to go about it, I put the idea on […]
‘The Fight for the South Downs’ by Robin Crane
“The Fight for the South Downs” is the extraordinary, almost unbelievable story of South Downs Campaign which fought for twenty years to achieve National Park status for the South Downs. After an initial meeting of seven people in 1990 the campaign grew to a body representing 159 national, regional and local community groups by the […]
‘Miracles’ by Marguerite Coutinho
I have always loved books even as a child. I used to rush to the bookshop to buy books whenever I got my pocket money, and I thought I would love to write a book someday, perhaps when I retire. So, I wrote “Miracles”, a partly factual and fictional version of the gospel accounts of the miracles that […]
‘Types of Landscape in Great Britain’ by Andrew H. Dawson
Locked down by Covid in the spring of 2020, I needed a major project to occupy my time. Long since freed from the need to write papers of the sort that would appeal to politically-correct editors of academic journals in the soi-disant social ‘sciences’, and anxious to attempt a rehabilitation of a much neglected field […]

[…]
‘Unplanned’ and how it was very much planned, by Robert Davis MA MBE DL
After more than thirty-six years as an elected councillor in the City of Westminster, at the heart of London, the establishment and political life, I retired from politics having held some of the most important and influential jobs in local government. These included my ten years as Deputy Leader, my seventeen years as political head of […]
‘Parts Of Speech’ by Tony Millet
I am something of an expert when it comes to not getting books published. I wrote a book about the First World War which got beaten to the bookshops by a very similar volume. I wrote a novella that came back from an agent’s reader with a one line note: “This should never be published.” […]
‘Heart Attack’ by Jeff Schmidt
Good Fortune at the Heart of a Heart Attack It turns out that we really are ‘the sum total of our experiences.’ Had I known then the impact of many of my decisions, I may have made changes earlier, but it turns out that we must live life to truly understand it. ‘That’ evening, the one […]
