The art of linguistic mischief has helped Celia through a wealth of written work. Her inner wordsmith was energised on relocation to Appledore from a landlocked Shire. A former healthcare professional, with detours into Education and Administration, Celia is now writing for fun.

Challenged by an impassioned Yacht Master to write a poem as an objection to an offshore wind farm application, A Wind Up subsequently entertained the councillors at the Bideford Town Planning meeting. With the publication of Potholes, Celia was invited to join the poets in the light verse webzine Lighten Up Online. Charities and other organisations have used her verse; her poems have been published in several anthologies and the press, resulting in a tongue-in- cheek invitation to march on 10 Downing Street in support of the Poets’ Defence League. The Shout was long listed for the Plough Prize.

This collection of poems illustrates and celebrates the sights, sounds, emotions and experiences that have been enjoyed in this inspiring and beautiful environment.

“Richly evocative of time and place, Samhain on Dartmoor transports the reader straight to an intense autumn day on the moor. This poem makes me fall in love (again) with Dartmoor, and autumn.”

Diana was born in Italy to Italian parents and moved to England with them and her elder sister when she was just fifteen months old.

From a very early age she fell in love with books and became an avid reader. It seemed a natural progression to start writing, keeping a journal for most of her growing years and writing pieces of fiction and poetry. It became her fiercely guarded secret and passion.

Diana was a shy, introverted child dealing with all the normal trials of growing up plus a few extra ones as an Italian child from a working-class background thrown into a catholic convent with the rich and privileged. Writing became a cathartic tool for managing life’s difficulties and fears and for expressing herself.

This collection of poems is a fulfilment of a promise Diana made to her dad. He used to ask her why she hadn’t submitted any of her work for publication.

Writing poetry takes courage as your heart, soul and innermost feelings are laid bare on the page for all to read and interpret.

Diana spent many years working with vulnerable and disadvantaged youngsters, and always encouraged them to keep a journal as a strategy for de-escalating their anger and frustration within themselves, and also as a way to process things and empower themselves. In the increasingly stressful world we live in, Diana would love to encourage everyone to pick up a pen or a keyboard and fill a page or book with their thoughts and feelings. The comfort and release they will experience will be therapeutic and uplifting.

“I hope my poetry resonates with everyone who reads it and comforts and lifts.”

Diana Carchedi

Something had gone wrong within time itself and Obeny, a Time Keeper, had been sent to fix it. George and his twin brothers had an important part to play in this, but were they up to the challenge?

As the boys are sent back in time to war-torn England, they are evacuated to the Lake District with orders to keep two smaller children safe at all costs. What is so important about these two ragamuffins? Will the boys manage to find the children? Will they manage to keep them safe? What dark secret do they carry? Follow the adventures of these children as their lives collide.

Whether you are aged 8 and improving your reading, or 80 and in need of an escape this is the perfect read.

“A very heart warming and emotive read, that takes you through the children’s time travelling adventure to reveal the purpose of their journey. Enjoyable and gripping in equal measure!”

This is the debut novel from Nick Tornado.

This is the debut novel of author Mark Tanner!

Follow Vardo and Rantor as they both navigate their way after losing their parent. One is trying his best to control his anger and look for good, the other seeking power and intent on spreading evil and darkness.

As relationships intertwine, will good prevail?

This is the debut novel from Mark Tanner and the first book in a trilogy. With a mix of good versus evil, the power of love and the mysteries of dragons, it’s perfect for the young adult and the fantasy fiction fan.

“I was genuinely disappointed when it came to an end – I thought the end was great and definitely left me wanting more.” KK

In this story we meet Angie and her mum as they begin the journey of understanding and navigating anger. This is the first adventure in the ‘Dealing with Feelings’ series – gentle, supportive books designed to help children explore their emotions and learn healthy ways to express them.
