ROGER HAMILTON - WINK AND GROW RICH

“Wink and Grow Rich”, by Roger Hamilton is the fable of a nine year old boy being raised by his carpenter father who is both sick and tired… In fact, he is tired of being sick, and sick of being tired. Every day for the last 20 years the carpenter has visited the Well of Wealth and spent a dollar, as it is generally known by the townsfolk that if they give generously to the Well, it will give generously to them in return. On this day, the Carpenter is so unwell he is unable to visit the well, so he sends his nine-year-old son, Richard, in his place. Richard is entrusted with a treasured crumpled dollar, and sets off on his journey to the Well of Wealth.

Along the way, Richard discovers that the Well of Wealth is not where he thought it was, and follows a different, more overgrown path. On this path, Richard meets an old woman, an Optometrist, a Plumber, a Gardener, a Fisherman, a Rower, a Musician, and an Inn Keeper. These intriguing and mysterious characters act as guides for Richard and share their wisdom. They have all built their wealth in very different ways, and yet, there is something about them that is common to all.

This fictional tale makes one think deeper as to the dynamics of wealth creation. The keys to wealth are in a story behind a story: A lesson behind the lesson. That means, to find the keys, the reader needs to become better at seeing. “What you see is always what you get.” Each time the reader reads this book they will take out more keys until one by one, they will unlock the doors to their wealth.

BRUCE BEDLAM - MERLIN BUILT STONEHENGE

Call it a magnificent obsession. Call it a crackpot theory. Call it what you like but Bruce Bedlam‘s novel and the utterly convincing, thoroughly ingenious ideas behind it are maddeningly thought-provoking. Bruce believes he has made one of the greatest archaeological discoveries ever: that Stonehenge was not a temple but a covered and enclosed public building! He has deduced not just its structure and design but also how its builders moved the stones, their route, how they raised them, what Stonehenge was used for, and most importantly, who built it.

He believes he‘s got a story here that is going to astound the world.

If Bruce is right, history‘s got Stonehenge all wrong ­ and so have innumerable archaeologists and palaeontologists. Reading his gripping fictionalised account, Merlin Built Stonehenge feels tantamount to historical heresy ­ indeed, in terms of the accepted wisdom on the subject it is. Nevertheless, it‘s hard not to be convinced by a man who has invested thirty years of work, imagination and cold hard logic to his hypothesis ­ and anyone with an imagination and an enquiring mind will be intrigued, captivated and fascinated as they journey back in time with Bedlam‘s fictional characters to see how our ancestors worked together in unity and spirituality to create this wonderful monument. The novel demonstrates that all this toil was for a reason, that it was structural and had a purpose ­ and that Stonehenge is more important than anyone ever thought possible!

When you read Bruce‘s startlingly simple explanation of the builders‘ techniques, you‘ll wonder why no one interpreted the evidence like this before… But Merlin? we hear you ask. Surely Stonehenge was built about 5000 years ago ­ a long time before the mediaeval setting of the Arthurian romances? Again, Bruce has a compelling and dramatic explanation that shows Merlin to be a far more ancient figure than most of us suppose!

Above all, though, Bedlam is a realist who‘s presented the product of thirty years of study in an easily digestible fictionalised format that‘s packed with romance and adventure, making Merlin Built Stonehenge and entertaining and evocative as it is provocative. Indeed, Bruce believes that this is the stuff of a future blockbuster movie!

MICHAEL - TELLINGER - SLAVE SPECIES OF GOD

Over the last fifty years of non-fiction publishing, certain books have grown from obscurity to achieve a worldwide popularity through the sheer impact, plausibility and originality of the ideas that they contain.  'Slave Species of God' by Michael Tellinger is looking set to join those titles, as it challenges the beliefs about who we are and where we come from in a plausible yet compelling way.

Questioning creationism and Darwinism, whilst taking the reader on a remarkable odyssey, drawing clear and startling analogies between new discoveries in genetic engineering and information captured on ancient artifacts. Tellinger uses scientific discovery previously ignored and links biblical stories to their original forms recorded on Sumerian clay tablets while supporting this all with captivating illustrations. Within a dense yet convincing text, the reader is never lost as the sense of each chapter and theory is related to the previous, keeping the information flowing with ease and the reader constantly engaged.

The arguments are compelling and clearly presented in an engaging easy-to-read style, as we discover that our DNA may have been manipulated at the point of our human creation some 200,000 years ago, to provide our maker with a less intelligent, therefore more servile species.

Challenging accepted wisdom and using the most recent research as support for his theories, Michael Tellinger treads very much his own path, yet follows in the footsteps of authors like Erich Von Daniken and Graham Hancock. Already embraced by book buyers from both the USA and South Africa where it has become a bestseller. ‘Slave Species of God’ is published at a time when the book buying public has found its interest and appetite for titles like 'Da Vinci Code' dealing with some of the biggest issues facing us all.

Ultimately Tellinger attempts to provide clear and grounded answers as to why the chaos, in which the modern world has become enveloped, is closely related to the secrets of ancient history.

SUE CHAMBERS - MAGICAL SENSE - LIVING WITH MS

Every once in a while, a book comes along that stops you in your tracks, shocking both through the impact of its very difficult subject matter and your awareness of the courage that it must take to approach and write such a work. In Magical Sense, we have a book that is brave and human in almost every way. Dealing with the heartbreaking trauma of living with Multiple Sclerosis, Sue effortlessly invites us into her world as she talks to us about her background and the most recent four years of her life with this little-understood condition.

The book works on many levels but it is clearly the heartfelt, gut wrenching and deeply personal account of a talented, bright and successful woman with a very full and gregarious life. Her professional achievements included co-founding a mainstream market research company followed by one that specialised in broadcasting research and then another focusing on children’s markets - all of which she had to leave behind due to ill health. On the positive side, this gave her more time for her loving family; on the negative, it meant that they too had to come to terms with her gradually deteriorating condition as the years passed. This is also the story of Sue’s battles with the disease’s symptoms and the psychological challenges that come with them - and of an increasing sense of isolation that even her own loving family and friends can barely alleviate.

Written primarily as a narrative, the book is also a pragmatic source of help for others who are suffering in the same way. Magical Sense is funny – and also occasionally maudlin, angry, and even self-righteous. Part poetry, part diary monologue, it catches the painful monotony of this condition as she relentlessly explores every avenue of treatment. Sue’s quietly determined voice talks us through the highs and lows of the treatments, many of which she has sought out for herself - and we are with her at her darkest and her brightest moments.
