Guardian of the Sky Realms : Gerry Huntman
Guardian of the Sky Realms
Maree Webster is an ‘almost-emo’ from the western suburbs of Sydney, Australia. She hates school and only has a few friends. She has an infatuation with Angels and Fallen Angel stories. Life was boring until she one day decided to steal a famous painting of angels from a small art gallery.
Her life will never be boring again. She meets a stranger at the gallery who seems to know her. She stumbles into a world where cities float in the sky, and daemons roam the barren, magma-spewing crags of the land below.
But not all is well. Maree is turning into something she loves but at the same time, fears. Most fearful of all is the prospect of losing her identity, what makes her Maree, and more importantly, human. She has ties to the human world that she can’t bear to sever.
Guardian of the Sky Realms takes the reader on a journey through exotic fantasy lands, but also across the globe, from Sydney to Paris, and the Himalayas to Manhattan.
It is about transformation.

Superfan : Nick Hawkins
The Amazing Life of Morris Keston – Football Fan Extraordinaire & Friend of the Stars
Superfan is a collection of stories and anecdotes from one of English soccer’s great characters.
Morris Keston was once just a regular Spurs fan, albeit one running a highly successful business, but then he started befriending the players (at first by following them out of the ground and sitting next to them on the bus!). By the time the 1966 World Cup came around Bobby Moore and Jimmy Greaves were popping round for tea between England training sessions and when Spurs reached numerous cup finals in the ‘70s and ‘80s the players from both teams would flock to his exciting after-match party instead of the club’s official dos.
Travelling the world to follow Spurs and England team in the days when for most fans it simply wasn’t an option, Morris invariably ended up on the team bus or in the bar with the players. In 1991 he even came within a few hours of becoming chairman of Spurs.
Beyond football he became friends with the likes of Eric Morecambe and Jimmy Tarbuck, Muhammad Ali and Frank Sinatra. He regularly travelled from LA to Vegas in Sinatra’s private jet and still goes into a cold sweat when recalling the time Stirling Moss reversed his car down a narrow street at 90mph.
He had a whole chapter devoted to him in Hunter Davies’s classic sports tome The Glory Game, but now the amazing adventures of Morris Keston at last have a book of their own.

Snodgrass Vacation : Dave Conifer
Snodgrass Vacation
Dave Jevik wasn’t too happy to hear that his wife had scheduled a family vacation to Snodgrass World Resort with the Zandanels. Loudmouth Vinnie is hard to put up with for an hour, let alone a week. But when Vinnie spots wheelchair-bound George Van Morrison in first class on the flight to Florida, the dreaded trip takes on a sense of purpose.
Van Morrison claims he was injured at a restaurant owned by Dave’s friend back home and the lawsuit has already been filed. Dave and Vinnie just know he’s faking it and they have a week at Snodgrass World to save the restaurant by proving it. They’ll have to dodge fleets of wheel chairs and scooters long enough to expose him.
Vinnie’s sharp-elbowed wife is indispensable as she leads the way past line-cutters, other people’s obnoxious children and the maniac driving the scooter with the on-board colostomy bag. When they befriend a crotchety bartender back at the hotel Dave and Vinnie unexpectedly tap an inside source that just might help them get their man.
Anybody who’s ever taken a trip to Orlando will recognize what they read about in Snodgrass Vacation, a politically incorrect satire of theme park life.

When Frank Hollander moves his family from a small Illinois town to Milstot, a suburb of Chicago, it seems like a lifelong dream come true. They move into a beautiful old house, the boyhood home of Chicago’s most powerful business mogul – Leonard Kingsley.
While moving in Frank discovers a hidden room in the attic above the garage and in that room evidence of a terrible crime. Could it be connected to a thirty-year-old cold murder case? Frank, with the help of a local police detective and a new friend with CIA connections, starts poking around to solve the case. As the evidence piles up, could the police be closing in on the real killer? Or could there be more powerful forces at work pulling the strings?
Even as Frank is trying to get his family settled into their new life, the horrible history of the house is revealed. Can God really use him to help right the wrongs done so long ago? All he can do is constantly be in prayer for the case to be solved and God’s will to be done. Things aren’t resolved as quickly or as simply as he’d like and it is in that realization that he learns that life is run on God’s timetable – not his.
Frank comes to have a deeper appreciation for just how much God loves us all – even those who commit terrible crimes against others.
