Indian Immigrant : Biku Ghosh
Indian Immigrant
‘We looked for workers. We got people instead.’ – Max Frisch
Indians have been travelling to and settling in Britain since 1600, about as long as Britons have been sailing to India.
Colonialism powerfully altered what being ‘Indian’ meant culturally and legally in Britain – a meaning quite differently perceived in India. The lived experience of Indians venturing into Britain varied in their historical context, gender, class and individual circumstances.
In the first three hundred years of Indian immigration, many perished in harsh conditions they faced during their journey and in an inhospitable country. Shorter first part of this fiction tells stories of some of them as well as of few who successfully integrated into the British society albeit facing many difficulties. The second part follows the lives of some Indians in interconnected stories of the few who arrived in the UK since 1960 to fulfil demands in various public services, successfully integrating into the British society albeit facing many prejudices.
Right-wing agenda claims an insular ‘all white-England’ apparently under threat from the non-white aliens. Nativist British hostility to immigrants has increased since the Brexit Referendum.
This book tells the stories of Indian immigrants not as an offshoot of race relations but from their perspective.

Particularly Peculiar People : Barbara Gibson Taylor
Particularly Peculiar People
The hit television series, Seinfeld, was once described as “a show about nothing.” The same could be said of Particularly Peculiar People.
Although the events in her life are of little consequence, B. Lynn views them through a curiously distorted lens that turns “something about nothing” into “something about something.”
In this collection of vignettes, B. Lynn wades through the muck of childhood, adolescence and adulthood, keenly observing the absurd and learning valuable life lessons:
– Getting too chummy with God is not conducive to living a long and healthy life
– Fingers make convenient playmates
– It is not a good idea to aggravate her mother’s eyebrow
– It is impossible to hum Jimi Hendrix’s version of the Star Spangled Banner
– Grandmothers are physically disgusting
Wickedly humorous and irreverent, with an undercurrent of poignancy as B. Lynn exposes her own vulnerabilities and abiding love for the people she so mercilessly caricaturizes, Particularly Peculiar People begins in the 1950s and continues until B. Lynn is older than she would like.

The Lakebed : Tim Stone
The Lakebed
An earthquake shatters the Pacific Northwest and drains a prehistoric lake by a sleepy Washington town.
Al Dragunov, a brilliant young immigrant who escaped personal demons in his native Ukraine, finds himself drawn into the bowels of the dried lakebed. Underneath, Al discovers a . . . room. A simulacrum. A site of inexplicable, irrational experiments since time immemorial.
When the world shakes, the town’s battle-hardened police chief—Michelle Bardo, a Baltimore transplant who sought greener pastures out west—is busy investigating a murder committed by a local pilot. As the social order buckles in the quake’s aftermath, Michelle struggles to solve the crime and protect her troubled daughter from the encroaching bedlam, while Al searches for answers about the lakebed and his own tortured past.
Their fates entwine as they each seek out an elderly physicist who, months earlier, mysteriously vanished from his laboratory on an island in the lake.
All the while, an ex-con and musclebound sociopath, Dom DeRuglia, goes on a sadistic rampage—at once exploiting and contributing to the chaos of a world already teetering on the edge.

Spencer’s Risk : Andy Greenhalgh
Spencer’s Risk
SPENCER’S RISK is a dark comic novel.
Burnt out and broke, university Drama lecturer Spencer Leyton is a compulsive gambler, estranged from his wife and children and driving his career over a cliff.
His some-time friend Justin invites him to a high-stakes poker game. (‘Justin could sell snow to the Eskimos – literally. For some months he had sold cocaine to the Inuit community in Copenhagen’.) The game ends with Spencer owing £10,000 to Paula Malone, the head of a criminal gang.
At work, Spencer is sexually obsessed with a wealthy and glamourous student called Eva. She commits plagiarism, an offence usually punished by expulsion, but bribes him with £3000 to keep quiet about it. Spencer has inside information about a football game, so he bets the £3000 on it, and that is when things really start to go wrong…
“Engaging, emotionally honest… by turns funny, gripping and poignant” – Jeremy Hardy
“Spencer Leyton is a hapless and hopeless man, seemingly bent on self-destruction – yet, somehow we can’t help rooting for him. A poignant, funny and pointed novel. I loved it” – Rosie Fiore, author of After Isabella and What She Left.
“This is one of those books that you find yourself wishing would never end” – Amazon Reviewer
“A terrific debut. The title character is a walking train wreck, but somehow Andy Greenhalgh makes you root for him even as you despair at his inability to to see a hole without walking immediately into it. The novel has a serious side, with a lot of astute observations about life and relationships and, most notably, the nature of addiction. But it’s the sublime comic moments that stick in the memory.” – Amazon Reviewer
