ANOTHER Special Occasion
In 2012 people of the UK were treated to a special occasion in every month. For just one day in every thirty or so, someone or something was celebrated and the traditions of those festivities were dragged out on to shop floors to be waved in front of shoppers as they tried to feed themselves for another week. Unfortunately special occasions get less special as their number increases and, in 2012, consumers were also treated to a recession that led to thousands of job losses, pay freezes and economic devastation.
This book charts the annual events that seem to have racked up and jump out from behind every corner to empty our pockets and run off into the sunset, leaving us financially hungover and ever hopeful the next one isn’t hiding too closely. As these pages detail, however, the next one is most likely lurking in a place where it can already smell your breath.

Coming Up For Air
By Mark Hendy
You must write about what you know, but what if all you know is a lie? A student finds himself with blood on his hands, an author counts the cost. The lines between reality and fiction are blurred, as a writer finds that the only way out - is to rewrite the past. Manipulation for a common goal - to survive. When the lies become too easy, it's time for change...

Panic And The Inner Monkey
Mark Hendy
The idea behind the Panic Monkey was first developed back in 1998. The subjects of anxiety and panic disorder are still relatively clouded in mystery, and are widely misunderstood. A great number of people have not found solace in the traditional self help market, and this is something that needs addressing.
The fusion of self help/fiction books is a new phenomena, but the notion that by reading a story based on fact, with characters that people are able to empathise with, could possibly help the reader is fast becoming more accepted.
The study of ridiculousness in the office chain of command, and the revelation at the end - are evocative of the best elements of 'Something Happened' by Joseph Heller. Initial reviews for the book have been glowing.

Banned

Pints. Lines. Fans. Lights.
Gigs. Knives. Sex. Fights.Not for the easily offended, this story offers no escape to an idyllic place or any insight into the life of those in the limelight.
Welcome to the world of Heroine of the Speed Machine, a band born of nothing that always looked towards the stars. This is one member's account of life on the road and in the studio as they battle between making the music and taking the substances. All the glamour of celebrity is stripped away in this raw account of sleeping rough, staying on top and scoring as often as possible.
