Literature & Fiction

It's 1991, and a group of English football fans are driving across Belgium; their trip takes them through the site of a former battle, and that's when a strange sequence of events begins. For Dennis and Allan, colleagues who cordially dislike each other, this means journeying further still - into what appears to be the past, and into the lives of two men who travelled this way seventy-five years earlier, whose unfinished love-affair remains to be played out in full. As they move backwards and forwards in time Dennis and Allan have only themselves to rely on, no markers to show them where they're going, and no real certainty of ever finding their way home again.

Between Now and Then

Fitzroy, Adam

Ten authors - in thirteen stories - explore the experiences of GLBTQI people during World War I. In what ways were their lives the same as or different from those of other people? A London pub, an English village, a shell-hole on the Front, the outskirts of Thai Nguyen city, a ship in heavy weather off Zeebrugge, a civilian internment camp … Loves and griefs that must remain unspoken, unexpected freedoms, the tensions between individuality and duty, and every now and then the relief of recognition. You’ll find both heartaches and joys in this astonishing range of thought-provoking stories.

Padmos, R.A.

Albert Sterne, forensics expert with the FBI, is so obnoxious on the surface that no one bothers digging deeper. When he's sent to Colorado to investigate what turns out to be the work of a serial killer he encounters Special Agent Fletcher Ash and they end up reluctantly joining forces to unravel the case. It's only a matter of duty, though; it can't be more, because Albert doesn't do friendship - and he certainly doesn't do love!  This edition of the novel incorporates the stories first published separately in the ebook 'Albert J. Sterne: Future Bright, Past Imperfect'.
