Two thousand years ago the Lady Mary, the sacred 'Rose in the Heart', made pilgrimage to the mystical British Isles, with the boy Jesus, Naomi her daughter and Joseph of Arimathea. Her Holy Mission as designated by the Masters, was to reactivate the Cosmic Light at ancient Druidic sites, some which held an Atlantean Temple in the Etheric Realm. As 'instructed' by Mary and with Divine guidance, Caroline Harris has followed in her footsteps, travelling through ancient Dummonia - Cornwall, Devon and Somerset, performing sacred Ceremonies to revitalize that Light, and earth the ancient Temples. Intuitively received inspirational messages for the Aquarian Age, are offered from the Masters, Angelic Messengers and those from the Devic Kingdom. Among many subjects explored are: Britain - the New Jerusalem; Atlantis, Hyperborea and Lyonesse; the Ancient Wisdom; the Immaculate Conception; did Jesus die on the Cross?; the Lost Goddess; the Holy Grail; Celtic Christianity; Arthurian Tales; the Crystalline Grid; Ley Lines; Reincarnation; Unicorns; the Essenes; the Egyptian Mysteries; Aboriginal Wisdom, Thought Travel, plus Visions of Glastonbury.

It's time to change the global menopause conversation. Let's stop talking just in terms of the stereotyped sweaty, hot-flush beleaguered female, the infertile crone or the wise woman - the reality of the menopause experience is so diverse and deserves to be heard. M-Boldened: Menopause Conversations We All Need to Have is a book about menopause unlike any other. Its contributors, speaking from many different walks of life, open up the conversation in new and profound ways for people across the globe. Recognising menopause as a human rights issue that affects everyone everywhere, these 21 chapters cover an astounding range of perspectives, from harrowing experiences of surgical menopause, the impact on relationships and hormonal realities of transitioning, to revelations of shocking neglect in the UK criminal justice system and compelling chapters on menopause as a time of activism, rage, reawakening, transformation and realising your own power. The honesty, intimacy and passion shared in these pages will make you see menopause in a whole new light. Each chapter shapes a much-needed courageous conversation about how we can and should view menopause and midlife. Read on to be part of the new conversation.

Taken by the Indians of the West
As the inexorable passage of pioneer immigrants pushed westward into the vastness of the American wilderness it was inevitable that the new settlers would collide with the indigenous peoples in their path and that this clash of cultures over that most precious of commodities, the land upon which to live freely, would come to bloodshed. This was hostility that saw little mercy for the combatants, but for women and children an Indian raid could end with not only the loss of male relatives but also with captivity at the hands of tribal warriors. Many a pioneer woman disappeared never to be heard of again, but some were rescued or lived to tell of-and indeed write down-accounts of their gruelling experiences. This book chronicles the experiences of seven such women, including Cynthia Parker-the mother of Quannah Parker-one of the most renowned and feared chiefs of the Comanche's in the history of the American West. Each of these pieces is too small to achieve individual re-publication in modern times, but in this book Leonaur has gathered them together in a gripping collection which is essential reading for those interested in the pioneer movement and the fortitude and endurance of remarkable western women in adversity. Available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket.

After inheriting a diary written by a 19th century ship's cook, together with a handwritten will and USA naturalisation papers I was inspired to tell the story of the voyage of the Wave Queen, a merchant vessel, from Shoreham, England to Valparaiso, Chile in the year 1872. Three years of research and the book became a fictional adventure story based on fact. The hero, Charles Hamilton-Bashford is an eighteen year old Eton School-boy.

On refusal he in his desperation steals and forges his father's cheque to settle his debts. Charles' father, a retired Major and a respected Magistrate, discovers the forgery and sends Charles to serve on a cargo ship separating him from his sweetheart, Florry. Charles escapes before the ship sails, and reaches his aunt 's London home only to be recaptured and sent back to the Wave Queen. Meanwhile Florry is propelled into a series of tumultuous events. What adventures will befall them ? Will he return to England? Will he ever be re-united with Florry?
