instructor and storyboard artist Tom Fox knows exactly how to
capture the figure in poses that are both dynamic and true to human

the figure itself. Tom presents in step-by-step details exactly how
to add the muscles and depict truly believable poses. Every part of

tips, many learned from years of working for major clients in the

figure, both in person and online. This combination of experiences

United States.

The Vatican Cathedral is packed to the rafters as Pope Gregory XVII
leads the congregation in mass. A cloaked stranger steps suddenly
and fearlessly towards the altar and commands the wheelchair-bound
Pope to stand. He does. The miracle stops the world in its tracks.
Who is this stranger? More miraculous events follow and as the
Vatican retreats and closes its doors to the world, journalist
Alexander Trecchio and police officer Gabriella Fierro set out to
find an explanation that might calm an increasingly hysterical
nation. Because the question on everyone's lips is what the
stranger's arrival might mean...and whether it finally heralds the
End of Days. DOMINUS is a relentless conspiracy thriller that will
leave you every bit as breathless as Dan Brown's Robert Langdon
novels and Simon Toyne's SANCTUS
Ruth Fletcher, recently widowed, leaves the isolated island of St
Helena in 1844, seeking a new life. She plans to marry the captain
of HMS Intrepid who has offered her passage on his frigate to
Europe on completion of their anti-slavery patrols. What promised
to be a routine cruise rapidly descends into a battle with slavers
and Ruth is introduced to the ships doctor and the treatment of his
injured patients. Her interest in medicine grows despite the
profession being exclusively male. Ruth leaves the security of the
frigate and her life swiftly spirals out of her control and into
the hands of others. She fights for control of her identity, but is
then obliged to confront the ultimate test; to protect the lives of
those she loves or disobey the most fundamental injunction of the
Hippocratic Oath. Tom Fox is a nom de plume for a retired surgeon.
This is his third novel. He lives in the Midlands with his wife and
has three grown up children.
Ruth Fletcher lives in a small settlement on St Helena, an isolated
island recently annexed by the British Government from the East
India Company. She receives a proposal of marriage from Adam; the
man she likes but does not love. Opportunities for marriage are
scarce and she accepts, hoping that love will grow from friendship.
Relationships in the settlement are tested by Adam's choice of
Francesco Ceruso as crew for his fishing boat. A corrupt marine
sergeant, John Logan, is determined to exploit the dissent in the
settlement for his own evil ends. One day, when Adam and Francesco
are fog bound and becalmed, they just avoid a collision with HMS
Intrepid, a frigate in the East Africa squadron on anti-slavery
patrol. A chance meeting with the captain and crew has far reaching
effects on Adam and Ruth's marriage and the lives of those around
them.
