In 2003 having secured two part time jobs within social care following a bout of redundancy I had to hit the ground running; one day trying to make sense of a cheese and potato pie recipe whilst residents waited patiently for their dinner, and the next day playing golf with a client who pushed cheating to the limits. To those who didn’t know him his scores were very impressive. Other scenarios including dealing with a client’s amorous dog that seemed to swing both ways and deep seated memories of a psychotic donkey called Lucky who was anything but, came under the heading of ”more thinking required”. Apparently I’m Not Everyone’s Cup of Tea gives an often humorous insight into working with various groups of people who, on the face of it, needed some support but often chose to ignore me. The title comes from a remark given to me by a lady client who then disappeared into the toilet with book in hand.
"How can you drink tea from an empty cup?" That ancient Zen riddle holds the key to a baffling mystery; a young man found with his throat slashed while locked alone in a virtual reality parlor. The secret of this enigmatic death lies in an apocalyptic cyberspace shadow-world where nothing is certain, and even one's own identity can change in an instant.

As suggested in the foreword, grab Another Cup of Tea and enjoy! Profits from book sales will be shared between Alzheimer's and dementia charities.
Put a cup of tea in your hand, and what else can you do but sit down? This wonderful new book is a celebration of that most British of life's cornerstones: taking a break, putting your feet up and having a breather. There is, however, a third element that any perfect sit down requires and it is this: biscuits. As Nicey so rightly points out, a cup of tea without a biscuit is a missed opportunity. Finding the right biscuit for the right occasion is as much an art as it is a science, and it is a task that Nicey has selflessly worked on for most of his tea drinking life. From dunking to the Digestive, the Iced Gem to the Garibaldi, everything you'll ever need to know about biscuits is in this book, and quite a lot more besides. Is the Jaffa Cake a cake or a biscuit? And have Wagon Wheels really got smaller since your childhood, or have you just got bigger? Unstintingly researched, Nicey and Wifey's Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down does exactly what it says on the biscuit tin. So go on. Take a weight off, put the kettle on, and enjoy.

Based on a true story: Mark begins his life in Eden, a remote North Auckland settlement. The story takes us through his boyhood, wending its way through much that life has in store for him. He samples forward offerings early in his life, all these experiences becoming embedded in his character – tempering it, changing it, a little at a time. Hardship, hunger and poverty bring disaster to those not able to adapt so he develops great resilience and an animal-like awareness which helps him quickly understand the directions he must take to win or regain advantage. He and his Eden peers are fiercely defensive; survival becomes an art form. Exposure to sex, drinking and violence in his tender years teaches him to constantly adjust his view of life as he steps cagily through it. He reaches out for his right to life – and its rewards – and pursues it with unashamed commitment as he develops survival strategies with no apology for selfish gain.

“[A] lovely, gentle romance wrapped in a mystery” set on Scotland’s Orkney Islands from the author of The Time of the Flood (Dear Author). Freda Nicholson was always an aloof and mysterious character within her family. So much so, that Emma Mason knows nothing of this distant great-aunt and neither do her relatives. This is all about to change when Freda dies and leaves her home, Broch House, to Emma. Mystified, Emma travels to the northernmost stretches of the United Kingdom, to the Orkney Islands, so she can get her aunt’s property back into shape and sell it. Upon her arrival, Emma sets to find out some information about her long-lost aunt, hoping to learn why Freda left Broch House to her, of all the relatives, and why a woman of ninety was living in such a large house by herself. As Emma delves into her aunt’s life, she becomes increasingly charmed by the ancient and untouched landscape—and by wildlife photographer Gregor McEwan, the local who helps her piece together parts of the puzzle. The closer Emma gets to unraveling the truth about her mysterious aunt, the harder it will be to forget Orkney . . . and the man who has helped her the most. Praise for Miranda Barnes “Another well told story in compact novella length.” —Dear Author (starred review) on The Stranger Next Door
Great music is about so much more than just the end product. Very often the stories behind the songs and their creators can be as scintillating as the music itself. This book is about more than just 101 slabs of music you are being advised to listen to. It's about the also-rans and stars that burned out too fast. As a music journalist for many years, the author managed to meet many of his idols - and they provided interesting insights as well as moments of humour. In the first of two volumes, we look at the timeless stories the musicians were telling, and just why they deserve to live forever.
