The Place of a Skull
The Place of a Skull puts a different twist on the old eternal triangle. After losing her whole family in the London blitz of 1940, fifteen-year-old Jessica Smith is sent to stay with a young married couple in the city of Gloucester, in the West of England. Both spouses, one a nurse and the other a naval officer on a few days leave, fall in love with her, and the ensuing tangle is played out against the background of the Battle of Britain. Woven into this story is the investigation, twenty-five years later, of a skeleton found under the foundations of a burned out science building at the Nave School in Gloucester. The investigation leads to the untangling of the wartime story, and a kind of resolution, if not exactly a happy ending.
A Rooted Sorrow
When John Hume leaves England and takes a teaching job at the Benjamin Thompson School in New York City, it is with the object of shedding a load of guilt that he has carried for twenty-fi ve years. It doesn't work, however, as he continues to be haunted by his old sorrow and becomes a suspect in the death of a young girl under circumstances eerily reminiscent of the incident that he is trying to forget. While coping with the tangled relationships within a deeply troubled school, he becomes involved with a much younger woman who knows nothing of his past. He faces another excruciating decision should he stay in New York and try to work things out, or cut his losses and return to England.
Echo Gods and Silent Mountains
Patrick Woodcock’s eighth book of poetry is the first written in one geographical location, the Kurdish North of Iraq. Woodcock lived in three cities over two years where he worked as a teacher and lecturer while traveling extensively throughout the region collecting material for this book. Mixed with poems both serious and humorous, long and short, this is the work of a poet who cannot live or create without uprooting himself to our world’s most misunderstood and misrepresented regions.
Death at the Nave
Death at the Nave tells how a quiet school in a quiet English town suddenly becomes a melting pot of sex, violence, arson and death, with mayhem in the lab and love in the conservatory. Starting with a condom in a flower pot, a missing file and a torn test paper, a down-to-earth inspector and a headmaster who is prim and proper outside and surprisingly racy inside painfully sort out the tangle of relationships, ambitions and motivations that have given rise to the horrifying events that they witness.
Always Die Before Your Mother
Deftly moving from the stifling heat and politics of the Arabian Peninsula to the darkest corners of South America's rainforest, this collection of poetry delivers a searing commentary on humanity's many failings. Politics, religion, societal constraints, and familial relationships are all fodder for these pointedly written poems.
