'Policing is like this everywhere but not everywhere is Scilly' Meet Sergeant Colin Taylor, he has been a valuable member of the police force for over 20 years, 5 of which have been spent policing the 'quiet' Isles of Scilly, a group of islands off the southwestern tip of the Cornish peninsula. Colin has made it his purpose to keep the streets of Scilly free from drunk anchor thieves, Balance Board riders and other culprits, mostly drunken, intent on breaking the law. This book is the first hand account of how he did it. Coupled with his increasingly popular 'Isle of Scilly Police Force' Facebook page, this book charts the day to day trials and tribulations of a small-island police officer, told in a perfectly humorous and affectionate way. This book is a fantastic read and Colin's antics are soon to be the feautre of a major ITV TV series.

The story of one man's search for a life long remembered whose search touches the lives of so many, directly and indirectly, the inter-connectedness of us all. Marianne is a series of vignettes of life in one day, stories that bleed together with no distinction as the reader tracks each tale through feats of memory. This is a search for a life once lived, a life that has been and a life that could be that life less ordinary.

All of the poems contained in this slim volume were written during the single month of October. It was the idea of the project to write one poem on each day of the month and as the day ended to work no longer on that piece so each one remains as it was finished at midnight on that day. There may be a theme of darkness present, events unfolding at night that is due to the fact I work at night. It was not intentional. Some works I remain unhappy with and others work as intended but they will always remain as they are and I offer no apologies for any missing punctuation, if the time had gone the time had gone and they must live as they stand. It was not my intention to comment on events that occurred on that specific day either in the now or from the past but merely to write the thoughts that came to mind. Sometimes ideas for other poems popped into my thoughts as I wrote but for reasons of this work they had to be left, some were remembered during the month and have found their way in the others I hope will one day return to me to be written down. I present this work as it is and make no apologies should anyone find it unreadable or beyond comprehension for after all, it is a slim work but it is mine own.

In 2004 my family and I packed up our lives in England and headed across the channel to start all over again in Normandy, France. The Pastis Adventures tells the tale of how we integrated ourselves into a rural community in Normandy and highlights the laughs, adventures, frustrations and the good friends we encountered along the way. Helpful hints, comic scenarios and at timles the plain daft but hand on heart it is all true. Thank you Pastis, you will be the ruin of me.
