In need of a break from work and some recent near-death adventures, archaeologist Annja Creed visits France to indulge one of her greatest fantasies: finding D'Artagnan's lost sword. The rapier was a gift from the reigning monarch and has been missing since the 17th century. And Ascher Vallois, one of Annja's treasure-hunting friends, believes he has located the site of the relic.

The stranger could be insane. Or he just might be our salvation. Archaeologist Annja Creed is more than curious when a decrepit, ancient-looking man visits her, claiming the end of the world is near. The stranger spins wild tales and speaks as if he actually knew King Arthur. But, strangest of all, he insists that Annja is the only one who can stop the horrible event that is about to happen.

When a mysterious man orchestrates an attack on archaeologist Annja Creed and then offers her an assignment, Annja is baffled. But the mission is too intriguing for her to refuse. She must find an object that possesses a sacred and powerful secret offering atonement to anyone who uncovers it — or wreaking havoc on the world.

There’s a massive problem in the way we run our largest and most powerful organisations. Short-termism and herd mentality is endemic. It’s reinforced by investors, LTIP models, and group think. As we grapple with the economic consequences of Brexit and design a bounce-back from the Covid-19 pandemic, we need to embrace a bolder, more ambitious model for leadership.

With derring-do adventures...amid Regency romance, This tale of twilight tour de force would make the Devil dance!

Ravensbrooke Hall lies empty. It has been looking more derelict with every passing year...since being abandoned; gathering layers of dust, ivy, and cobwebs, while the owner, Sir Sébastien de Ravensbrooke, travels alone abroad...or so it is believed. Sir Sébastien is known as a mountaineer, chess master, artist, yogi, social provocateur, occultist, drug addict, and libertine. The locals accused him of being a "black magician", but this is inaccurate...for in truth, what he actually is, would defy description, belief, and comprehension.

Through love, joy, hope, disillusionment, trial, and tribulation...this is a journey of revelation...and awakening. The experiences and lessons of every life possess profound relevance and value. Whether funny, sad, shocking, or bizarre...this transatlantic memoir promises laughter, tears, insight, and hopefully...a small measure of wisdom.

With family and friends in the forest of Gleigh, wee Mister Cumphobiecack chose to decree.... Ostara would be a fantabulous fest to celebrate all of by which they'd been blessed. The equinox ushered in beauties of spring... and all of the joys this sweet season could bring. 'Twas also the time of the Leprechaun's Ball, which is secretly held 'hind a charmed waterfall. Never before has a Glumpet been asked....

It was in the twilight of Christmas Eve, 1867, when Cyrus Fernsby first caught sight of the tapering square towered lighthouse on Wraith Rock from the large rowing boat which was conveying him to, what was intended to be, a short term keeper posting. As it emerged with evermore clarity from within the Atlantic sea mist, and the spray of the crashing waves which embraced it, an inexplicable and undeniable sense of foreboding began to seize and permeate the innermost reaches of his soul.

The Glumpets of Gleigh, happy still as can be, now prepare for the season of Yule. Favours and treats of cakes, puddings, and sweets…will make Mister Cumphobiecack drool. Life’s joys are now his... with his wife, Effie Fizz, and his parents, restored to his side. With friends all around, they still live underground, beneath the oak in their forest... with pride.

This is a small collection of selected poems inspired by my own personal journey of revelation...and awakening. Never forget that the experiences and lessons of every life possess profound relevance and value...whether recognized and understood or not. Love is the only true reality.... All else is merely illusion.
