Mallory is a successful artist who learnt early in life that art could provide him with an escape from the mundane and the unpleasant. He has never come to terms with the abduction of his infant son and daughter at the hands of his first wife, Fleur. But now, just as he discovers he is suffering from an incurable disease, it seems he may have found his daughter. His current marriage to the much younger Sueyen is in tatters, and his relationship with his exwife and their daughter, Kimberley, who has a severe disability, is in trouble as well. With art now failing him, Mallory finds solace in Em, the enigmatic young woman who has arrived to help him build a mudbrick house.The Pepper Gate is a finely crafted, character driven novel about truth, denial and sublimation, and the lengths to which we will go to preserve the life we seek for ourselves.
How Many Miles to Babylon? uses the writing of European travelers to Egypt between c. 1300 and c. 1600 to give a picture of the country in the late medieval and early Renaissance periods, drawing on sources that have hitherto been inaccessible to English-speaking audiences. These accounts portray an Egypt ruled by the despotic Mamluk sultans and the early Ottoman governors, a society at once cruel and sophisticated, dangerous and alluring. The Europeans’ wonderment at the exotic flora and fauna, the ancient ruins of temples and pyramids, and the astonishing summer rise of the Nile to irrigate the crops and replenish the lakes and waterways of Cairo is well conveyed by these travelers’ tales. How Many Miles to Babylon? is a fascinating picture of the people, customs and culture of Egypt from the fourteenth century to the beginning of the seventeenth.

The beautiful county of Cheshire is one of the most visited of English counties. Here is a collection of strange tales and local legends from the county.
For a stranger to Chester, the opportunity to explore the streets and buildings of a 2000 year old city, must promise much to the first time visitor. The presence of its almost intact circuit of medieval defensive walls, its many early churches, world famous shopping rows and its overtly historic character, all suggest a place that has its foundations in much more ancient times. However, the architecture of modern day Chester can be deceptive, with many buildings appearing to much older than they actually are, being designed by a small group of leading regional architects who combined to create what is commonly referred to as the Chester "Look", a mixture a half timbered vernacular buildings and classically inspired facades, both of which hark back to more ancient days. This book attempts to identify and explain the various histories of many of Chester's landmark sites and buildings, who built them, owned them and what purpose did they serve. within its 224 pages
