My name is Norman Lawrence Rowlston, and the following poems represent my thoughts and ideas on all that has happened to me over the last 30 years.After a considerable period of illness, which culminated in a heart transplant in 1996, I decided to try my hand at writing. Some 20 or more of the poems have been published by companies in the USA and in the UK. In America, the main publisher of my works is the International Society of Poets, and in the UK the main one is United Press.Several of my poems are reflections of time spent on the way to and in hospital at certain times; the main one of these is an ode of tribute to the nursing staff, and that is the one entitled Angels of the Night. Although not a sufferer of Alzheimer's disease, I was asked to produce a couple of poems for publishing in their newsletters, including Unseen Images. Marching was written to show support for the Rural Life Association.Justice was in answer to the letting off of a Judge without any response after he had committed a crime. A Dying Breed was a cry from the heart after the butchery of the mining industry by Margaret Thatcher. This was dear to my heart as I have lived most of my life in a heavily endowed mining area, now defunct. I also worked down the pit on two periods. Love is a tribute to my wife of 37 years, Joan, whilst A Prayer to Love was written specifically for the wedding of one of my step grandchildren. The poem was read out during the church service by my eldest grandson. Graduation was written to show my pride in my son and daughter on graduating from University. 9/11 was the idea behind Pray for America. This was published in some newspapers in both America and Hawaii. There are a few poems which may sound strange to your ears, but they are literally correct as they have been written in Yorkshire dialect, a mode I intend to do more in. Nonsense poetry is included with two of the ones I wrote for a children's magazine, and they are Snow and The Obligatatum. The Tramp is based on a true story from this area. All the artwork contained in this booklet has been produced by my wife, Joan Rowlston. Please read and enjoy; half of the joy of writing is knowing that someone else is also getting pleasure from your efforts.
During the turbulent chaos of the 15th century, relics and artefacts held in the Beaufort St. Vincent Abbey were spirited out of the religious order and hidden by two brothers for safe keeping. The monks that hid the items were slaughtered by unholy men, and the whereabouts of the items was lost to history.Years later, a learned researcher uncovered clues concerning the hidden treasure in the Abbey archives, but could not understand them, and on his death, his great nephew Adam inherited the knowledge, but could not make sense of it either. Following Adam's death, the papers were finally discovered in his garden shed by Judas Wells.After years of research, Judas finds the key to unlocking this information by a fortunate fluke, and as he unravels the labyrinth of deception, he is forced to involve knowledgeable archaeologists in his findings. By enlightening these eminent men he not only challenges the accuracy of their historical books, but completely rewrites local history.

You are in the middle of a battle.We are all fighting to live the best and most resilient life we can.Unique circumstances create unique understandings about our lives. I went undercover in the British Army to investigate bullying for the BBC. This book follows the pre to post undercover story through experiences of being a soldier in training, working for a large media co-operation and being the face of a controversial prime time programme. It documents these events and captures reflections and conversations about them over the last decade, adding related and accessible psychology as a golden thread. This highlights what supports and hinders our wellbeing in everyday modern life and touches on current topics such as use of social media, body image, identity, motivation, job satisfaction and fame to name but a few.24 hours undercover in the British Army investigating bullying:0400 hours: In camouflaged combat uniform, I blend into a dark, wet, cold field in the middle of Yorkshire, gripping a rifle. On my bag, my name and number: Private Sharp: 30037286. It contains everything I need to survive a week outdoors. A small sugary sweet provides a morale boost and the sun rise gives a glimmer of hope and reminder of the natural wonder of the world that we are lucky to be part of, despite our hardships.1200 hours: A grey floor in a bland accommodation block in Army barracks, surrounded by dismantled rifle parts, I clean every last bit of mud, dirt and carbon. Recruits share banter until we are ordered to be quiet. The relationships built over adverse circumstance are some of the strongest. My mobile phone and hidden cameras wait silently in my pockets as I listen intently for signs of wrong doing and anything that disrupts the wellbeing of these people.2000 Hours: Lively night time in bustling Oxford Street, London. I scan the horizon and see the bright flashing lights and blur of people going about their lives. I walk among the crowds having brought video footage of a recruit's testimony about an alleged assault in Army training. Following a hushed de-brief in a secure BBC office, it's time for some fleeting freedom among people celebrating the night life.Through the secretive, isolating, physically enduring experiences, I emerged a different man. I hope sharing this story and these experiences with related psychological discussion can help you develop a new way of thinking about resilience and motivation in your life.

This book is about faith and addressed to the followers of Christianity. It is not a history book, nor is it meant to be. Faith is higher than intellect as it requires belief in something that cannot be intellectually proven. However, although not questioning faith per se it does question spurious traditions and biblical errors.If the Vatican continues to remain silent it will be only a matter of time before those at grass roots level begin to demand answers.

This is the story of an ordinary man who had a true love of the sea, but as a consequence of the war had to deal, as did many others, with extraordinary experiences. Leaving his Cornish village of Landewednack in 1921 Charles, then aged fifteen, began his career in the Merchant Navy as a 2nd Class Saloon Boy with the Union Castle Line travelling to South Africa. He moved on to work on the Great Western Railways Channel Island Ferry, working his way up to 2nd then 1st Class Assistant Steward. Before long he was in the Mediterranean working on a cable ship, and for the next ten years on a cargo freighter travelling to Australia and New Zealand. At the outbreak of World War II Charles signed T124X Articles and joined the Royal Navy as 2nd Steward, subsequently rated at Chief Petty Officer and eventually Chief Steward 1st Class. He saw service in several 'theatres of war' including two Russian Convoys and in the Mediterranean (North Africa and Salerno) before being released from Naval Service in 1946. Following this, Charles, like a lot of people who had served in the war, suffered from ill-health and consequently never went to sea again: starting 'another life ashore' with his family.
