Every now and then the world hears about an ordinary person who has lived an extraordinary life. This book is about one such person, Walter Kress. Not only has he lived an incredible life—the kind of life that novels are based on—he has managed to record it in a unique style and in a way that allows his wonderful personality to shine out from every page. The book you are about to read is heart-warming and humourous, romantic and dramatic. It is the story of a man who grew to love and serve the country which gave him and his family sanctuary when they fled the horror of the Nazi holocaust. Walter Kress is an amazing character and I count myself very fortunate to have known him. After reading this book, you will know him too.

A Seal Snorts Out The Moon is a delightful year-long journey through the seasons. Though most collections of haiku follow this pattern A Seal Snorts Out The Moon differs in that it starts with the end of Winter rather than the beginning of Spring; a moot point perhaps but nonetheless an innovative approach and an indication of the poet's quirkiness. Far from irreverent, however, Colin Stewart Jones is clearly informed by Buson when he writes: at birdsong a horse clears  his throat Many of Colin Stewart Jones' haiku are placed within a wild Hebridean landscape and these offer a marked contrast with those from the poet's more usual urban setting. However, for a poet who finds beauty in the everyday, commonplace and often mundane, his geographical positioning is secondary to the way in which he views the world: spring morning sunlight passing through my urine Colin Stewart Jones deftly manages to avoid any sentimentality and still take the reader through his year with all its ups and downs while keeping a child-like questioning innocence: where is heaven? the child in me pops seaweed As we have seen the poet is respectful and referencing of the genre in which he writes, yet Colin Stewart Jones is also a very modern haiku poet: L8 sumr sistrs rgu ovr a txt A Seal Snorts Out The Moon has all that one would expect from a haiku and even more - the black and white haiga are particularly enchanting - making this book highly recommended reading indeed.

Kilts, Confetti & Conspiracy is in a class of its own in terms of that it could easily be described as a 'comedy thriller'. Does such a category exsist? It does now, because the author has weaved an ingenious plot involving the Prime Minister and his bride-to-be into the setting of a closely knit highland community with all the characters (and a few more besides) that you can imagine a place like that could be home to. From beginning to end this book will leave the reader either enthralled by the plot or in fits of laughter at the antics of some of the story's many protagonists all challenging for centre stage.

This is the amazing story of a man trapped in a mad, fantasy world that begins to change against his will. We are never quite sure whether he is in the real world or in the strange, surreal world that seems to have the power to take over his whole being at will. At times this book is hysterically funny and at other times it is incredibly moving. You will have to decide if it is the story of a madman trying to come to terms with the real, uncaring world or that of a caring, sane man in a world gone completely mad. Whatever answer you arrive at you will be certain that the author gives a brilliant and original insight into the workings of an unbalanced mind. Succre has found the 'Tatterdemalion' in all of us and in doing so could well have given us a better understanding of our place in an uncertain universe.

Genre Fiction

Revolutionaries is a savage tale set in Central Scotland during 1976-1977 telling the story of five friends unwilling to follow Society's expected destiny. Faithfully adhering to the period as it was - the fashion, the music, the violence, the drugs, the sex, the culture...and the taste of rebellion! Beginning with a stomach churning incident of repellent violence, the story follows 'The five' as they try to survive and thrive in the wilderness of recession devastated Britain - but on their terms. An epic story unfolds in a series of 'Snapshots' that slowly introduce a complex tale and rich web of characters that initially seem unrelated but are progressively demonstrated to be far more inter-related than they appear to be. Like an intricate jig-saw puzzle, 'Revolutionaries' builds a narrative charting murder, violence, music, sex, style and humour that demands to be read and solved by piecing together the scattered clues from diverse sources and viewpoints in a collapsing urban landscape that could be yesterday, today or tomorrow.
