With Richard Green's poems you'll be taken on an exhilarating journey where you'll encounter the bus that travelled along the Jurassic Coast in the Jurassic Era - pulled by dinosaurs of course. You'll find a Dorset farm worker who was elected pope and meet the first man in space. (It's not who you think.)What do you do if you're a vegetarian vampire or you believe you've seen an alligator in the Thames? How does Godzilla get out of his Manhattan apartment? Richard Green constantly delights us with alternative realities whilst revealing human foibles and frailities with a wry humour and a love of the absurd.

Simply Parkinson's will give you clear and concise information if you are affected by Parkinson's Disease (PD). The author and illustrator, John Duncan, suffers from PD himself and explains it with understanding, drawing on his own experience and knowledge. His helpful description of the various stages, symptoms and treatment of the disease doesn't shy away from the challenges of the illness, but also offers coping mechanisms and light touches of humour, including his witty and poignant illustrations. PD is a complex neurological condition which impacts on the lives of many but is understood by very few. This book helps to make a difficult and distressing illness easier to comprehend, and offers comfort and advice from someone who truly undetrstands what sufferers and their loved ones are experiencing. John is a former banker, public relations director, freelance journalist, broadcaster and commentator, and the author of Cricket Wonderful Cricket and How to Manage your Bank Manager.

Richard Green has a knack of taking an event or an idea and reframing it to hilarious effect, throwing us off balance into a world of absurd and compelling storytelling. The three wise men desperately try to keep the nativity story straight; a leopard has a job as an overzealous police officer; and time- travelling poets critique each other's work in a Gentlemen's Club. But Green's stories are not merely clever comedy. As characters are exaggerated and history re-imagined, a keen intelligence satirises self-importance, ambition and stupidity. Painful puns and cartoonish characters live side-by-side with hidden references and historical knowledge that might have you running for Google. Chosen by Random will make you laugh, groan, learn and above all, brighten your day with its wit and imagination.

Kay Channon's poetry is honest and raw. She shares images and thoughts which delicately convey the isolation, pain and melancholy of her circumstances. Yet her work echoes with a nuanced self-reflection, which draws hope and strength from the rain, a Slovenian philosopher, and ultimately, from poetry itself.This is the debut collection from a poet who is already bringing a new voice to the timeless themes of love, death and the search for meaning.'Her voice speaks out with such feeling, ardour and memorable gentleness.' Faysal Mikdadi PhD FRSAKay is studying poetry in the context of disability culture, cyberculture, and the formation of hybrid identities at the University of Chichester. Born at 26 weeks, and having to deal with lifelong health issues arising from this, Kay says, "The Dark Side of Light drifted in and out of an abyss which spoke of an unavoidable silence. As I became more familiar with this space, I realised there was so much more to listen to than the inaudible beat of my heart..."
