    Donna J. Knight is a God-fearing and God-loving author and motivational speaker. Her testimony will both touch your heart and lift your spirit to new levels. Her recount of being led into a wilderness experience, under the guise of basketball, will evoke tears of sadness and tears of joy. 
    Knight's testimony of how she unconsciously developed a deep and meaningful relationship with God, our Father through the Holy Spirit that fills her from the inside-out, is truly inspirational. 
    Through her philosophical approach, Knight's ability to reflect and share her understanding of her wilderness experience to show how she was spiritually prepared for the passing of her thirteen-year-old son, is remarkable. THE BOY WHO SAW DOUBLE is a homage to her late son Rashard Miles Henry, a talented tennis player, who was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG)

    Tales of the Autistic Village Cricketer is the neurologically ‘different’ slant of eye-opening, blunt and frankly, funny collection of completely true memoirs that have happened in my cricketing life. Starting from 2003, it initially outlines myself as a young cricketer, and how autism affected my participation; often with chuckle-inducing results! From the humorous stories involving our Margate junior skipper, Ollie Robinson of Sussex CCC fame, to abjectly refusing to remove my footwear as I entered the Horsham pavilion, and being jovially mocked due to my compelling urge of forcing a fart and sniffing the ball before bowling! But crucially, by publishing the story of my life through this cricketing lens, it gives a frank re-telling of how cricket, and the friends met solely through it, has given a socially difficult high-functioning autistic, the chance to experience life as it is intended. From the awkward opening partnership with Zak Crawley, to my first visit to a crowded nightclub and subsequently passing out, my ‘blunt and to the point’ discussion with a stripper, and the hilarious events that transpired when I lost my virginity!

    The mountain gods were protective of Manaslu, a two-pronged peak in the Nepal Himalaya, and one of the world’s fourteen 8,000m peaks. 
    Many years ago, a Japanese team tried to climb it, but the gods had sent an avalanche in their wake which destroyed a monastery and set the local people against them. When they returned the next year, they were met with sticks and stones, stripped naked and sent home with red cheeks. 
    Mark Horrell and his two friends Mark and Ian shared a dream to climb an 8,000m peak, but it seemed the gods were against them too. They had made no fewer than eight attempts without success (though they had managed to return with their clothes on). 
    With towering ice walls, monsoon rainstorms, arm-twisting crevasses and – most dangerous of all – welcoming teahouses ready to entrap them, would it be different this time?
