How many people will be chosen as volunteers for the 2012 Olympic
Games in London? To play a part in the Olympic Games is a wonderful
experience - probably a once in a lifetime opportunity - and a rare
privilege. No matter what role they play, the support of thousands
of volunteers is absolutely vital to the success of any Olympiad. I
was one of the few British volunteers at the Atlanta Centenary
Olympic Games. It was the most exciting and rewarding three weeks
of my life. I saw Olympic finals, witnessed medal ceremonies,
talked to champion athletes both contemporary and past, and worked
like a Trojan for long hours as part of the stadium staff. This is
my story about the small part I played in 'The Greatest Show on
Earth'.

In an age of cybercrime, Finn is old school: he's never stolen anything weighing less than five tons. Now, fresh out of prison and flat broke, he's got a line on his biggest job ever.
Cracking the most heavily guarded private vault in North America? No problem.
Hauling $50 million of precious metal out past guards, dozens of policemen and an armored SWAT battalion? Even easier.
But navigating the betrayals of double-crossing partners, the machinations of a hedge-fund billionaire gone bad, and the ambiguous proposals of a woman with her own agenda?
Finn is going to have to figure out the downside.
In his early thirties and working in a menial position at a High
Street bank, John Bore is massively overweight and plagued by
prostatitis. Haunted by the nickname 'Boring John' since school,
his mundane existence comes to a head on one 'Particularly Shit
Day' when he loses his job, is evicted from his home and is told by
his stepmother, from her death bed, that his father had always been
ashamed of him and indeed coined the aforementioned nickname.
Angry, frustrated and desperate John retrieves from his meagre,
evicted belongings a list he had written at the age of ten, a list
of things he wanted to achieve in his life. There and then John
sets out to achieve these goals, those of an imaginative, yet
naive, ten-year-old boy. 'Boring John' is the ultimate underdog.
Against all odds and with a great deal of determination, a heap of
luck and the support of a plethora of interesting and surreal
characters that he meets along the way, he achieves the impossible,
again and again and again. 'Boring John' is a thrilling, surprising
and spookily believable rollercoaster that will appeal to all.

Someone is killing off Wall Street's shadiest financiers, and only
Silas Cade can get to the bottom of it
With breakneck pacing, nonstop action, and cutting-edge details of
today's financial intelligence technology, "Clawback "offers a
thrill-a-minute narrative set in the world of "Too Big to Fail."
Silas Cade, a black-ops vet and gray-zone contractor, is no
stranger to gunslinging or shady finance. After coming home from
America's wars abroad, he becomes an "accountant"--the go-to for
Wall Street financiers who need jobs done quickly, quietly, and by
any means necessary. Hired by a major player to visit a tanking
hedge fund manager and extract ten million dollars in clawback--the
mandatory return of compensation paid on a deal that goes
bad--Silas instead discovers that someone is killing off bankers
all over New York.
