The postcards in It'll All Be Over By Christmas paint a picture of the First World War as experienced by those at home, at the front, in training, in hospital and in convalescence. These personal messages were sent from fathers to their wives and children, sons to family, friends and loved ones - sharing their thoughts, hopes and worries as well as the lighter side of life. There are cards from those at sea, in prisoner-of-war camps and those of the Central Powers. Featuring over 150 illustrations, including some rare examples, the book also demonstrates how the postcard was ulitised to enlist volunteers and boost morale through humour, sentimentality and propaganda. Postcards encouraged support of the war effort through fundraising, sending 'comforts' to those on the front line and promoting practical roles for women. This fascinating book offers a profound insight into the experiences of war through postcards, as well the part that they played in promoting it.

This is a story of steamy tourist entanglements between two women and two men under the baking hot sun of two midsummer weeks in 2016 in the picturesque Rhodes village of Lindos. In a tale of a Greek labyrinth of relationships - encompassing instant attraction, lies, deceit, callous betrayals, and cold hearted revenge - both the women harbour a deep secret within them.

This is the final part of a Lindos trilogy: Why would anyone stab someone to death and then want to prevent identification of the body by incinerating it in the beautiful tourist village of Lindos on the island of Rhodes? Who is the victim and who is their murderer? That is the mystery that confronts Inspector Dimitris Karagoulis in July 2010, just over four weeks before his retirement. Just like the Inspector s personal life, his attempts to identify the victim and find the killer also develop into a tangled web of possibilities, stretching far beyond Lindos.

The relaxed holiday atmosphere in the picturesque little village of Lindos is shaken into one full of suspicion and tension when the dead body of a British ex-pat is discovered early one June Friday morning in nearby St. Paul's bay. Enquiries by Inspector Dimitris Karagoulis from Rhodes Town soon uncover a web of infidelity, jealousy, misinformation, and gossip in the village, particularly amongst the ex-pat community. Over the following weekend further events lead him even to doubt the true identity of some of the people involved, and to question their past. The urgency for the arrest of the murderer or murderers is heightened by growing concern by the bar and restaurant owners in the village over damage to the tourist trade. As the Inspector's enquiries proceed he eventually discovers a story extending back long before that summer, and far beyond the Greek paradise of Lindos.

This is a story of how hope of a change materialised in Czechoslovakia in 1989 during the 'Velvet Revolution', told through the experiences of two Czech women and an Englishman during that period. It is set in the Czech Republic in 1994, with recollections of the tide of circumstances of the 'Velvet Revolution' in 1989 that affected the relationships of the three central characters. It tells interwoven stories of the hopes of the Czech people in 1989, their situation in the Czech Republic five years later, and the man's hope in 1994 of a meaningful relationship with one of the women having made what he feels was the wrong choice between them four-and-a-half years previously. It is a tale of parallel journeys; the journey of a country in 1989 and the journey of a man in his life. Both have a journey of hope.
