    Who knew West Virginia would be the promised land for Two to Three Hundred-Thousand African-Americans escaping the hardships of the South after the Emancipation Proclamation? Like the Black Codes and Jim Crow. Freedom comes in many forms. West Virginia became a refuge for individuals looking for a better life, but it sometimes came with a deadly price. This book captures the spirit of one family’s devotion for one another, and the drive to never give up on the “American Dream” at a time in the United States of America when the desires of Black business owners were plentiful, but the reality of Black business ownership was just a dream...

    Angelina Scriptor began writing poetry when she was only a child, but one fateful day, she decided to look back. It was only then that she realized she had something that most poetry books lacked. While still only a teenager, Angelina noticed that life encompasses more than the simple routes of love and loss that other poets tend to focus on. Life holds both hidden beauties and traumatizing horrors, tucked intricately within its own pages, jumbled amongst themselves to further hide the signs of their existence. 
    Life is telling a story, day in and day out. Slowly, it builds and breaks each of its characters, leaving them to individually collect the pieces of the puzzle that they constantly yearn to complete. And, in the meantime, they are left to create their own stories, whether they do so while coming together with others, or if they’re left to trudge down the dark path of life alone, barely making it to their next sentence. 
    If you choose to read this book of poems, you will be met with many stories that Scriptor experienced over the years, whether they be her own, or those she uncovered while peering down the path of another. 
    This book holds not only the beautiful rosebuds of life’s growth, but also its sharp, threatening thorns. Every page is left to fulfill another journey, never relying on that of another to do so. Sometimes, words sit seemingly simple, but more times than not, its vines will burrow deep into the root of life, tugging at its very existence. 
    That is for each reader to determine for themselves, may they decide to seek the answer.

    In A Foreign Country, Nigel Pantling takes us to some strange places - the exotic, the imaginary and the rediscovered past - and for each he serves up a heady local brew, equal parts memory, invention, wit and menace. Here, North Korean tourists rub shoulders with Syrian adventurers, the newly dead with a City lothario, Popeye and Olive Oyl with Cold War warriors. Surprising and unsettling by turns, these poems are a whistle-stop journey though different times, countries and customs, enriched by deep personal experience.

    "When We Were Very Young" is a book of poetry for children by the legendary British author A.A. Milne and marks the first appearance of the "silly old bear" who would soon become a worldwide sensation: Winnie-the-Pooh.   In these poems, the narrator - a young boy named Christopher Robin (after Milne's own son) - navigates the world of adolescence, imagining kings and queens, questing knights, talking bears, imaginary friends and explores the curiosity and wonder of the grown-up world seen through the eyes of a child.   "When We Were Very Young" - the first book of the Winnie-the-Pooh series - was an immediate hit when it was first published in 1924 and spawned the next three Pooh books: Winnie-the-Pooh, Now We Are Six and The House at Pooh Corner. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

    'I'm saying there's someone who could stop this madness. If you stood up, and said "no".'
    On a rainswept afternoon in 1952, Hollywood and Broadway's leading director Elia Kazan met his closest collaborator, the playwright Arthur Miller. As the anti-Communist crusade of McCarthyism blacklisted hundreds of their colleagues, Kazan and Miller faced a stark choice. Should they betray their friends, or risk never working again?
    David Edgar's play Here in America is a compelling drama that imagines a confrontation between two giants of stage and screen, both passionately involved with an actress about to become the most famous movie star in the world. It was first performed at the Orange Tree Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by James Dacre.

    Stories to Share With My Partner...

    An anthology of stories can be a fun thing or a scary one. 
    Deciding what goes into an anthology can be daunting. Too much romance and some folks may decide it is ‘too mushy’. Put too much humour in, and others will say, ‘there is no substance’. Go with more science fiction, or fantasy, or horror, and you will have some folks just not pick up the book. 
    Finding the perfect ‘mix’ is a challenge for sure. 
    ‘Stories to Share with My Partner – Book 3’ presents what I hope is a good mix of stories and poetry to make everyone happy. 
    You have some love stories, ‘The Red Bug’ and the ‘The Coat’, for example, while science fiction is covered in ‘When the Future Arrives’ and ‘Coordinates’. 
    Funny stories are what I enjoy writing about, and there are few in this book. 
    ‘So That Is When the Fight Started’ is something many can relate too and in ‘Jerk’ I take a different approach to ‘superheroes’. 
    I hope you enjoy reading these as much as I did when I wrote them.
