The sequel to the bestselling memoir Blood, Sweat & Tea. Tom
Reynolds is an ambulance worker. On any given day he can be
attacked by strangers, sworn at by motorists, puked on, covered in
blood and other much more unpleasant substances. He could help to
deliver a baby in the morning and witness the last moments of a
dying man in the afternoon. He deals with road accidents, knife
attacks, domestic violence, drug overdoses, neglect and suffering.
And you think you're having a bad day at work? Tom blogs about his
experiences at the end of each shift. His Random Acts of Reality
website has a huge following with over 30,000 visitors every day.
He is an internet legend and a remarkable writer. His first book,
Blood, Sweat & Tea came out of nowhere to be a surprise
bestseller in 2006. Readers were stunned by the stories he had to
tell and impressed by the sheer quality of his writing. Critics who
sneer at blogs-to-books have never read this one. More Blood, More
Sweat and Another Cup of Tea charts the past two years of Tom's
life as an ambulance worker. He is tired, he is frustrated and he
is more pissed off than ever but he still manages to capture the
more moving, heartwarming and inspirational moments alongside the
chaos.

and he believes the aloe vera topic will run and run as more and
more people, both lay people and professional healthcare
specialists and therapists alike, begin fully to understand the
powerful healing and health-giving properties of this amazing
plant. He believes that 'we are still scratching the surface' in
terms of aloe vera's vast potential. Aloe vera has been around for
over 4,000 years - it has stood the test of time - and it still
continues to confound and very often baffle the medical profession
and scientific researchers with its complex, silent actions, potent
properties and powerful healing benefits. Aloe vera truly is
nature's silent healer. Aloe vera has been known for its
wide-ranging healing properties for over 4,000 years, but it is
only in the last few decades that scientists have really begun both
to realise and understand the enormous scope of this amazing
plant's actions and benefits. Medical practitioners, vets,
dentists, therapists, nutritionists and many others involved in
healthcare throughout the world are finally realising that the
anecdotal evidence of the powers of this ancient plant th
It's been ten years since Connor Connolly lost his parents in 'The
Battle'; a fight between The Governor and Jones, two of the world's
strongest metas. Before 'The Battle' the world had been full of
metas, super-powered humans whose amazing abilities came from
mysterious wristbands. Since that day one has never been seen
again. Now 16 years old, Connor lives in Bay View City with his
older brother Derrick, a meta-obsessed blogger, where he's just
trying to keep his head down long enough to survive high school.
All of that changes the night he attempts to save a girl's life and
wakes up to find the first new pair of metabands anyone has seen
wrapped around his wrists. Connor soon finds an unlikely ally in
Midnight, a masked vigilante who helps him learn how to harness his
new abilities, while also trying to balance his summer job at the
lake. As a meta, Connor becomes known as Omni, potentially the most
powerful meta the world has ever seen, but it isn't long before he
finds out he's no longer alone...
