Women of Courage
Tim Vicary - 2015
Three stories of women of courage. Sarah Becket campaigns for the women’s Vote; Catherine O’Connell-Gort struggles for Irish freedom; Ann Carter rebels against the King of England. Each woman fights for her beliefs. All three are betrayed by the men they love. Thrilling historical fiction based on real events. These three women - Sarah Becket, Catherine O'Connell-Gort and Ann Carter - are all imagined characters, but the historical scenes in their stories really happened, and women just like Sarah, Catherine and Ann faced real choices every bit as dramatic and dangerous as those described in these stories. Three quality historical novels for the price of two. 800+ pages. See what reviewers say: 'Cat & Mouse is a well written and researched epic drama with great historical merit wrapped around a fascinating web of characters ... which provides something for everyone: riots, romance, mystery, intrigue and crime all the while depicting lies, deception, betrayal and political struggles complete with a climatic ending - what more could you want from a novel?' Andrea Saxelby for the Kindle Book Review. 'Cat & Mouse is a novel about people, a mixture of romance and thriller. First it engagingly explores its characters' very different worlds. Then it carefully brings them together for a shattering conclusion. You won't forget this book!' Moorsman 'The Blood Upon the Rose is a masterfully written historical romance that places the reader in Ireland during the aftermath of World War 1 ... I enjoyed this book so much, that I look forward to reading it a second time.' Alle Wells, author of Railroad Man.
The Blood Upon the Rose:
'One of the most poignant love stories I have ever read.' Jenny Twist, author of Domingo's Angel 'In a nutshell, I thought that The Monmouth Summer was a masterpiece ... I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the Seventeenth Century and looking to read a well researched, action packed story of an incredibly famous rebellion in English history.' Samantha J. Morris. The Monmouth Summer is a superb historical novel. Not only is the book compelling as great fiction, it provides the reader with a strong sense of the social and cultural milieu of late Seventeenth Century England.' Howard Wolf. Women of Courage is ‘a 3 book bundle of historical sagas spanning over 1200 pages making for a hefty bargain when you also consider each individual book sells for $4 thus saving you a bit more than half the price. Each book is loaded with plenty of flawed yet believable characters set in interesting and largely historically accurate settings.’ Don Kidwell, Amazon top 500 reviewer. Download Women of Courage NOW

Black Eye
Neville Steed - 1989
won the John Creasey Memorial Award for the best first crime novel of 1986; his second consolidates this promise.’ — The Times 1937, Devon. Johnny Black is a young and penniless pilot turned detective in the glamorous yet dangerous thirties. His girlfriend, the lovely Tracy Spencer-King, enlists him to help a friend, Diana Travers, and the unfolding tragedy becomes his first case. Diana’s sister, Deborah, died a few months before in what Diana believes are suspicious circumstances. Apparently Deborah was riding with her husband, the actor Michael Seagrave, in his new Frazer-Nash sports car on Bigbury Sands when – like the star Isadora Duncan – her long scarf got tangled in the wheels and broke her neck. Despite police being satisfied that Deborah’s death was a tragic accident, Diana thinks that Seagrave murdered his wife. But does Diana know more than she is letting on? Johnny’s investigations soon begin to support Diana’s doubts, for Seagrave proves to be a long standing philanderer and is currently pursuing a girl employed by a dancing academy, Daphne Phipps, and Susan Prendergast the daughter of a rich tycoon. Suspicions deepen when the dancer disappears and Johnny unearths some unsavoury facts about Seagrave’s past. Soon Black is up to his neck in murder and mayhem, as another key figure disappears and a blood-stained jacket turns up on the back of a murderer who has escaped from Dartmoor. It soon becomes clear that whoever is behind the disappearances might just want Johnny and Tracy dead too ... Black Eye, a novel in the great classic tradition of British thrillers, recounts the first case handled by the Black Eye Detective Agency, set up in Torquay, Devon, by a young and impecunious ex-pilot, Johnny Black. Praise for Neville Steed: ‘Steed’s debut Tinplate ... won the John Creasey Memorial Award for the best first crime novel of 1986; his second consolidates this promise.’ —
The Times
‘Mr Steed’s sense of humour endears ... all the details about model-making are fascinating.’ —

Nathuram Godse: The Hidden Untold Truth
Anup SarDesai - 2017
This person is Nathuram Vinayakrao Godse, India’s most hated criminal. Yes …. Nathuram Godse is the very man who assassinated ‘Mahatma’ Gandhi, the ‘Father of the Nation’ on 30th January 1948 as he was walking towards his prayer ground at the Birla House, New Delhi. He was arrested at the scene of the crime and sentenced to death by hanging after a trial that lasted for over a year. Almost seven decades have passed since the ‘Apostle of Peace’ was assassinated but, even today the story of his murder continues to remain one of the most closely guarded secrets in Indian history. Since independence, various political organizations in India have resorted to a total misuse of state machinery to suppress information on the life of Nathuram Godse and have made the people of India believe in fictional cooked up stories based on unfound theories that the murder of the ‘Mahatma’ was an act of religious fanaticism. Through extensive research the author of this book has succeeded in unearthing facts that lay suppressed for almost seven decades and has managed to uncover the truth that the murder of ‘Mahatma Gandhi’ was not an act of religious fanaticism but an act of devout patriotism. This book covers the entire lifespan of Nathuram Godse, from his birth till his death. The motive behind writing this book is neither to denigrate the Mahatma nor to glorify his assassin but to unmask the people of India from the delusion that the ‘Mahatma’ was a victim of religious fanaticism.

زند هومن یسن
Sadegh Hedayat - 2004
Born in Iran and educated in France, his works were influenced by the sense of alienation and self-destruction that pervaded post-WWI European literary circles. He was also known as a gifted intellectual and essayist in his native country. His interest in Persian culture led him to detest the Arabization of Iran, and so he traveled to India to live among the Parsees, Zoroastrians whose ancestors had chosen to leave Iran rather than submit to conversion to Islam. It was in India, away from Iranian government censors and political pressures, that Hedayat finished the book that is widely considered his masterpiece, "The Blind Owl."This collection of essays and travelogues, the title of which can be translated as "Commentary on the Vohuman Hymn," reflects his experiences in India from 1936 until about 1941. It was written in the Zoroastrian Middle Persian and later translated into Modern Persian by the author.
