Come What May By Henry Disney Once again Henry Disney offers the reader a collection ranging across some childhood memories, youthful military service in Cyprus, his varied experience as a scientist of repute (in Belize, Cameroon, Yorkshire and Cambridge), reflections on people and situations, political comment, his love for his late wife, delight in his family, his enjoyment of nature, and much else; all viewed within the context of his hard headed Christian faith that is more concerned with how we respond to situations and people encountered than with dogma. Compassion, psychological insight and humour are essential ingredients of these diverse poems that repay reading again and again. .. .. Find out more

Reviews "Really enjoyed these three stories written by Sue for Christmas. They all have a different theme, a nativity play where Robbie wants to be an angel not an alien, Trouble the donkey who won't do anything without a carrot - a traditional Christmas story with a twist, and a sad but ultimately uplifting story about Etta who feels lonely at Christmas but finds a tiny animal to keep her company!

With illustrations by children from schools Sue has visited, this is a

Death by Aloe-Seed: A Country Parson’s Singular Tale By  Julius Falconer Thrilling novel about a hapless vicar saddled with a mind-boggling murder inquiry dumped on him by the less than capable officers of the law. Time: the autumn of 1728.  Place: the usually tranquil Yorkshire village of Sherburn in Elmete.  Except that it finds itself the scene of an increasingly sinister chain of events: theft, robbery on the king’s highway, arson.
