This is the story of Alex James's transition from a leading light
of the Britpop movement in the 1990s, to gentleman farmer, artisan
cheese-maker and father of five. 'I was hanging around the pigsty
in the way I'd previously hung around at The Groucho Club. I felt
wonderfully connected, grounded in the real world, standing in pig
muck' Following fifteen years in Blur, Alex James did two wild,
unexpected things. He fell in love and he bought a farm. Moving
into a rambling, chaotic farmstead in the beautiful Cotswold
countryside, he decides the best way to learn about farming is the
same way he learned most about music: by jumping in and doing it.
As his family settles in, he discovers the unexpected joys that
country life abounds in: finding the first egg from your very own
chicken, coming across a bramble bush laden with blackberries,
roasting home-grown pears on an open fire, before stumbling on a
new venture - making cheese. Wonderfully warm, witty and perfectly
observed, this is the story of what to do after you've been the
bass player in one of the best bands in the world, and a
life-affirming tale of just how much fun growing up and settling
down can be. 'A joy to read. Prose flows and weaves and curls
itself into pleasing rhythms...He can write like a god.' SPECTATOR
The End of Roc Isle was a false prophecy. Or was it? Lord Azure
commands the Northern Army in a war against the Trade Lords, who
are a class of conspirators. He fights to defeat evil. However, his
leadership is failing because of his son's insolence and personal
ambition. He relies on Ankah, a battle strategist and master
swordsman, to prevail. But will Ankah be enough when they encounter
the monolithic horned beasts known as Dregs? A Tempest of battle is
about to sweep across the land, and even the strong won't survive
