Summary

Jo Bailey was a mystic and religious figure who, shortly before his death, founded the Church of Jo. Jo is a late 20th Century historical novel by award winning author Bryan Costales. The life and times of Jo Bailey is presented in the form of a sequence of letters, articles, news accounts, diaries, and so on, each told by someone who cared about, or hated, Jo. It is the combined nature of these narratives that provide a rich overview of the last part of the 20th Century and and of Jo Bailey's ability to foresee death, but never prevent it.
 
This book is a fiction in the guise of reality, a story about the last half of the 20th century, and about three solved mysteries.
Available since: 10/22/2014.

    Star of the Sea is a gripping family saga set in Cresswell, Whitby and London in the years 1745–90. As the restless spirit of the Age of Sail transforms the old social order of the North East, three families from very different backgrounds find their destinies unexpectedly brought close, in a story of ambition, heartbreak and redemption.

 
In her new novel, Katharine Tiernan explores her family roots in Northumberland, with the remarkable story of her eighteenth-century ancestors. Based in Cresswell and Whitby, the novel brings to life the early industrial history of North East England in the Age of Sail.
