Cornwall, 1893. Arthur Bellamy earns his living finding respectable things to say about the dead. A commission at an isolated coastal house promises a welcome fee: put the Ashcombe family’s memorial book in order before their annual remembrance. It should be quieter work than a newspaper office.

Then a dead boy joins the dinner table.

The household treats its apparitions with impeccable manners. Its housekeeper has little patience for inconvenient questions. And Lydia Ashcombe, a widow whose son still walks the corridors, knows more about the family’s arrangements than she is willing to admit.

As Arthur uncovers the lives concealed beneath the polished tributes, he discovers that remembering someone incorrectly can do far more than damage their reputation. Something in Morrowglass depends on the stories the living agree to tell. It has no intention of letting them stop.

When the house offers Arthur the one reunion he has never ceased wanting, telling the truth becomes the most dangerous part of his profession.

A gothic ghost story of grief, dark wit and the terrible comforts of a beautiful lie, The House of Unfinished Mourning asks what we owe the people we have lost—and what we must finally let them take with them.

and does not expect mud in every fold of her clothes, hostel girls who become sisters before she is ready, or Tom Aldridge, the reserved farmer's son whose quiet steadiness is harder to ignore than any wartime order.

From railway platforms and blistered hands to harvest fields, air-raid nights and village dances, Marion's War follows a young woman learning what she can endure, what she can choose, and how love can grow in a country waiting for peace.

Set against the everyday courage of Britain's Land Girls, this warm historical romance blends friendship, humour, hardship and slow-burn love. Marion leaves home as one more pair of hands for the war effort, but the land gives her something she did not know she needed: courage, belonging and a future of her own.

At Douglas Terrace, love is not simple or soft. It is ration books and crowded rooms. It is a mother trying to keep faith while the world changes around her, and a child growing up with a father known mostly through stories and envelopes.

Inspired by family history and wartime memory, Until We Dance Again is a moving wartime Newcastle romance about separation, endurance and the difficult road home. It is not a story of easy reunion. It is about what love becomes when years, silence and survival alter the people who once promised everything.

but they do not expect a whistle in the night. Willowdale Station has been closed for years. The rails are gone, the clock is stuck, and a wild purple butterfly bush has pushed its way through the waiting-room window. But at 10:17, the girls see something impossible: a steam train returning beneath the bridge, carrying passengers from another time.

With Shandy the gentle spaniel, Scruff the fiercely important terrier, and a growing collection of hidden clues, Elsie and Daisy begin to uncover the story of Tommy and Nellie, two wartime children separated by a promise.

As the sisters explore old ticket machines, secret maps, dusty suitcases, forgotten railway rooms and storm-battered cupboards, Willowdale slowly reveals what it has been waiting to remember.

behind a secret attic panel, the map points to a forgotten place beside the river and carries the initials of Jonas Creel, a smuggler who vanished in 1724.

A hidden attic panel. An oilskin map. A secret buried for three hundred years.

Ollie Fenwick expects a quiet week helping his family sort through the old River Elder Coach Inn, a former coaching inn full of dusty rooms, creaking floors and forgotten boxes. But when Ollie and his friends, Maya Merrin and Rowan Pike, uncover a rolled-up map hidden deep in the attic, their ordinary visit becomes a mystery that reaches back to the age of smugglers, river trade and dangerous secrets.

The map is marked with the initials J.C. - Jonas Creel, a smuggler of Eldermouth who disappeared in 1724. It shows the River Elder, the old coaching road and a carefully drawn red X beside the words: REMEMBER THIS. With guidance from sharp-eyed local historian Mrs Dorothea Marsh and retired fisherman Tom Harker, the children begin to trace the old course of the river and search for the place Creel meant to return to.

But they are not the only ones interested in the inn's history. Marcus Trenwick, a smooth antiques dealer with money on his mind, suspects that something valuable may have been found. As the children close in on the truth, they must decide who to trust, how to protect what they have discovered and what it really means to bring a forgotten story back into the light.

Joined by their friends Emily Shaw and Sam Turner, the four children set out to investigate the mystery. What starts as a simple adventure soon leads them into a forgotten world of secrets, courage, and echoes from another time.

Buying your first home can feel overwhelming.

There are mortgages to understand, deposits to protect, estate agents to speak to, solicitors to chase, surveys to arrange, moving dates to plan, bills to set up and unexpected costs waiting around almost every corner.

The First-Time Buyer Survival Log is designed to help you stay organised through the whole journey.

It includes specific sections for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, covering important differences such as the Scottish process, Home Reports, missives, property taxes, devolved rules, safety requirements and homeowner responsibilities.

That means the book is useful whether you are buying in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, with clear reminders to check the rules that apply where you are buying.

This is not just a guidebook. It is a working log.

The First-Time Buyer Survival Log gives you one place to plan, record, check and organise the practical details of buying and settling into your first home.

Plan. Search. Buy. Move. Renovate. Settle.

From First World War flying boats to the F-35, the American air presence in Britain has involved far more than aircraft. It has depended on crews, technicians, airfields and local communities, through war, uneasy peace and changing alliances.

American Air Power in Britain follows that story across nineteen chapters, from the early American presence and the Second World War to the Cold War and operations into 2026. Alongside bombers, fighters and transport aircraft, it examines the work on the ground, nuclear weapons and control, the Greenham Common protests, presidential visits and the transatlantic support network.

Closer portraits of RAF Fairford, RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall connect the wider history to individual places. Historical photographs, the author's aviation images and clearly identified artist's impressions accompany the narrative.

Six appendices provide a chronology, a base gazetteer, an illustrated aircraft and equipment chronology, weapons and support equipment, terms and abbreviations, and dated deployments and visits. Sources, image credits and a selected subject index help readers return to the people, places and machines that interest them.

Written for aviation enthusiasts and readers of military and local history, this illustrated black-and-white paperback can be read from beginning to end or consulted as a reference.

The Titanic Inquiries brings together the two principal official reports into the loss of RMS Titanic: the United States Senate report and the British Board of Trade / Lord Mersey report, both first published in 1912.

This edition presents the official reports as historical documents, supported by a modern introduction to the ship, the voyage, the disaster, the inquiries and the safety reforms that followed. It is designed for readers who want more than a short retelling of the sinking: historians, researchers, Titanic enthusiasts, students and anyone who wants to read what the official inquiries actually concluded.

Inside this volume you will find:

• The United States Senate report on the loss of Titanic
• The British Wreck Commissioner's Inquiry report under Lord Mersey
• Background chapters on Titanic's construction, technical design, passengers, crew, wireless messages, lifeboats and rescue by Carpathia
• A comparison of the American and British findings
• Chronologies of the ship, the disaster and the distress calls
• Tables covering lifeboats, casualty totals, witnesses and inquiry recommendations
• Passenger lists, a technical glossary, source notes and bibliography

The reports are reproduced as official historical texts, with editorial material kept separate from the original wording. Where the facts remain disputed, this edition explains the uncertainty rather than forcing a single modern answer onto the 1912 record.

Edited and introduced by Graeme Hanson, The Titanic Inquiries is a substantial 8.5 x 11 inch reference edition for readers who want the documentary record, the context around it and the tools to follow the evidence.

The logbook provides 100 pages of a simple, effective system to record key flight details in one place. Designed with real-world use in mind, it helps you stay organised, prepared and ready to reference important information whenever needed.

It works neatly alongside digital tools such as Dronitrak and Shotara: keep the paper log for field notes and operator records, then use exported files, reports and images for client-ready evidence packs.

• 100 pages for structured flight records
• Suitable for recreational and commercial flyers
• Supports compliance and incident reference notes
• Available as an Amazon KDP paperback
