Just a cup of tea
110 Pages, 37,198 Words
'Just a cup of tea' is a book about an ordinary person's experience of having a heart attack and bypass surgery.  It is told as I experienced it.  The book does not offer medical advice as I am not qualified to do so.  Rather, the book offers an insight into the physical, and emotional, effects of suffering a heart attack, how ones family is affected and the road to recovery.  The book is intended as a source of information, and hope, to the thousands of people who suffer the effects of heart disease every year. 
The book has been received well by the people selected to read it, and the consensus of opinion is, that it will help you and your family if you are starting on the journey down this most difficult of roads.   For more information please

Hawksbury
217 Pages, 76,271 Words
Hawksbury, a magnificent country mansion set in 3,000 acres of English countryside.  Bequeathed by Lord Kingsbury in 1947 with one proviso - that it must become, and remain, a hospital.
53 Years on, Hawksbury is a major hospital, run by a board of governors, each with a medical background. It has a chain of command and dress code, coupled with discipline from a time now gone.
We move through day to day life in the large hospital - a great part in accident and emergency, with many case scenarios unfolding, following the lives of surgeons, doctors and nurses, also many of the patients.
The story moves quickly between Hawksbury and Egypt, where an expedition is taking place by an Egyptologist, known to one of the surgeons at Hawksbury, thereby linking the two intertwining stories, which later become one, as the catastrophic events of the book unfold.
The hospital becomes involved with an event that took place 2200 years BC in Egypt.  The human race stands on the very brink of destruction.  Then comes a discovery so awesome, that every human being will be touched by the unfolding events.  For more information please
