With an introduction by Robert Plant Against an unflinching
backdrop of 90s reservation life in the western Dakotas, Neither
Wolf Nor Dog tells the story of two men, one white and one Native
American Indian, connected by their own understandings of life yet
struggling to find a common voice. As they journey together through
small Native American Indian towns and down forgotten roads where
the whisperings of the wind speak of ancestral voices, these two
men will travel beyond myth and stereotype, revealing an America
few people ever get to see.
The ship that could never sink, the ship of dreams, became a ship
of nightmares as it sank beneath the freezing Atlantic Ocean.
Colliding with a massive iceberg, it was as much the arrogance of
the ship's owners and operators that caused the tragedy of the
Titanic on 14th April 1912. 1,517 people perished that night but
there was at least one man who was focused on saving souls amidst
the horror. As the icy waters brought the life of John Harper to a
close he still had the energy to call one final person to come to
Christ. This is a story of tragedy but it is also a story of faith
and courage and eternal hope.

Part personal memoir, part cultural history, West is a compendium
of 'tales', telling the story of a unique geographical and literary
landscape - the western Midlands of England. It is a magpie's nest,
a melange of anecdotes, folk legends, ghost stories and fairy
tales. But more than this, it is a record of a land and its people,
told over 2,000 years of history - a land that birthed both
industrial and cultural revolutions. A native of the area, Martin
Wall takes us on a search for lost time in the Lost Lands of the
west, charting the liminal energies which have so influenced our
literature - and himself. Shamelessly nostalgic, sometimes tender,
sometimes brutal, these tales invite us to immerse ourselves in the
past, present and future, to become 'unstuck in time'. How were the
lands 'lost'? The author laments the decline and fall of a
succession of cultures, from the Celtic principality of Pengwern
and the mighty kingdom of Mercia to the end of heavy industry in
the late twentieth century. With a thoughtful foreword by Robert
Plant, West takes history to a new imaginative edge.
