Jemma is the youngest daughter in The Palette Family. She leads the family through some comedic experiences where each story deals with developing the characters within successive plots, in line with audience expectations, based on previous episodes. All the family members are introduced in the first story with Jemma being the central character. Each story has a lesson in life which is in the background and each story has a ‘colour’ in its title – hence the ‘Palette Family’. Dad is a writer; Mum suffers his delusions; whilst Jemma’s sister, Deidre puts up with Jemma’s enthusiasm for life.
This is the third book in the "RUBY series" and continues on with the adventures of Ruby Peters, the schoolgirl spy recruited at 16 years old. She is now 20 and running for her life all alone, after three years of horrific events, including the psychotic murder of her boyfriend Eric. Ruby has covertly secured the personal secret papers of deceased MI6 agent Roger Davis who died protecting her. Davis also hid some more information in Australia, that was so sensitive, he could tell no one. MI6, the CIA and a third party of terrorists run by Sergei Mudarov, know about the information but not its location.

The human race has destroyed the fabric of our world and now will most likely create some ripples or chain reaction which will affect the universe. Scientists and the military are creating super-humanoids with self-aware AI and appended genetic code to make them invincible. Other scientists are destroying the building blocks of life using high energy beams to identify the mechanisms which hold together the dark matter that permeates the universe. Life and Death algorithms and universe sentinels are all focused on managing or terminating the human race in order to control the development of human machines and technology. Sarah Robinson has been designed to fix the problem by finding the ‘Kr...
This story is a complex interweaving of personal tragedies all stemming from the spreading of lies and deception in a small town. There is a wayward psychiatrist who has a baby with her patient’s husband as the starting point for a cascading effect over two families and a cruel criminal who knows how to control others. They all meet their match in Detective Inspector Sutton who carries out an intricate strategy to fight for justice, whilst fighting his own demons – the loss of his daughter. Everyone thinks they know the truth about certain events but time and again, they learn that lies, rumours and gossip have affected their thinking and their subsequent actions. There are no winners except the truth, which is revealed by pitting one against the other. A young psychologist and her delusional client steer the story through to its conclusion by focussing on a painting, a book and self-awakening.
This book presents my summary on climate change and some poems written with that in mind. All I ask is for some time – about 15 minutes – unless you decide that your interest lies elsewhere. Time is precious and so is all life on Earth. The climate is always changing. How do we know? What have we learnt? We all bear witness to “the four seasons” varying in severity, depending on where you live and how you, your city and farming community have treated the environment. Nature is neither forgiving or forgetful. Just ask the Mesopotamians, Aztecs, Incas, Babylonians and now modern industrial humans – all have followed the same path to reducing their environment to dust by overpopulation, deforestation, wars and greed. Human civilisations all follow a familiar destructive pattern. We always seem to be at war with someone else – as if we enjoy taking what is not ours. Hopefully this book will raise awareness and persuade the reader to act now for future generations.
After several years of small roles and experimental screenwriting during his early career, Jack Nicholson got his big break in 1969 with Easy Rider. The next year Five Easy Pieces made him a star. Since then the 12-time Academy Award nominee has won Best Actor twice (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and As Good as It Gets). This critical study examines each of Nicholson's film roles, as well as his screenwriting and directorial efforts. Fascinating personal insights are provided through interviews with stars such as Mews Small, James Hong, Millie Perkins, Michael Margotta, Shirley Knight, Joe Turkel, Ed Nelson, Hazel Court, the Monkees, several Apollo astronauts, Hell's Angel Sonny Barger, Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern, and many more.
