  The 11th century was a dangerous time to be of the line unbroken of King Æthelred II Unread and his first queen, Æfgifu of York. Born in Hungary after King Canute III's failed attempt to murder her father, Edward the Exile, Margaret found her life turned upside down by King Edward the Confessor's discovery of her father's survival -- and the resulting recall of her family to England. 
  Now a political hostage only kept alive for as long as it served powerful men's interests, Margaret and her family found King Máel Coluim mac Donnchadh Ceann Mhor (Malcolm III Canmore)'s invitation to his court in Dunfermline in Alba the long-awaited answer to her prayers. 
  Scotland would never be the same again.

  My Secret Life Vol 8 Chapter 5

  My Secret Life is an anonymously penned memoir written during a period from the 1840s to the 1880s by a wealthy and sex obsessed English gentleman who refers to himself simply as ‘Walter’. Part confessional, part investigative erotic journalism, it meticulously documents every detail of the author’s prolific sexual encounters, offering us in the process an eye and thigh opening account of life behind closed doors in the Victorian age.
  
  Women, in both mind and body, were the all consuming object of Walter’s interest. From early youth through to old age his quest for erotic discovery and adventure with them was never diminished.
  
  Unlike contemporary 19th century erotic texts, such as The Pearl, whose sole object was to titillate, Walter’s interest in his subjects did not end with the extinguishing of the carnal flame. His hunger to understand the circumstances and minds of the women he encountered is never upstaged by the sex. Their potted life histories, their most intimate desires and acts were shared with him and in turn meticulously recorded by him, written down verbatim while still fresh in his mind.
  
  The resulting poignant record of a lost era and the intimate moments of the women who inhabited it offer us a remarkable insight into the 19th century that cannot be gleaned from any other source.
  
  The complete unabridged text is being released as a fully scored audiofilm (an audio book with accompanying music soundtrack) by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins.

  Shattering Identity Bias

  In the early seventies, a tiny three-year-old girl stood watching suitcases gliding by on the baggage carousel while hundreds of strangers bustled and jostled, all in a hurry. She’d just landed after a 22-hour flight from Cairo, through Changi and on to Sydney, with her two brothers and her mother. “Aida!” a familiar voice called her mother’s name. Then, “Monameeno!” her father cried and Mona was ‘home’.Captain Mona Shindy’s story is one of love, faith, courage, tenacity and, at times, of extreme bias. She takes the reader through her childhood, growing up in Sydney with hardworking immigrant parents who wanted nothing more than for their children to do well in life and be happy. From an early age, Mona travelled the paths less trodden – not only by women, but by women of Muslim faith. At the age of twenty, she joined the Australian Navy – one of few women and the first female of Muslim faith to wear the navy uniform. As an engineer, her 32-year career of active service with the Navy saw Mona rise through the ranks, leading many sailors and officers both at sea and ashore. She spearheaded organisations charged with developing, delivering and sustaining Navy assets, state of the art weapons systems and technologies. She made an outstanding contribution to Navy and the defence of her nation but, more importantly, she was instrumental in instigating and effecting change when it came to female integration and cultural diversity inclusion within this traditional, white, male-dominated arena.Shattering Identity Bias is Mona Shindy’s story but more than that, it is a story that will give hope and strength to all minority groups. It will help employers better harness the power of diversity and address the challenges that it brings. For every reader, Mona’s story will paint a stark picture of the reality of the world we live in.

  Are you ready to embark on a transformative and life-changing journey towards elite performance and genuine success? 
  In Drop The Act: The Inside Secrets For Elite Performance, renowned psychologist and performance specialist Kate Glancey delves into the secrets of champions, and unveils the path less travelled by those who achieve unparalleled success. 
  As Kate explains, elite performance is often only considered in the realm of sporting superstars, CEOs, world-class musicians and those who reach the dizzying heights of their chosen profession. However, when we peel back the layers of façade and dive into the heart of authenticity, we can discover the place inside us where the true power to excel resides. 
  Today, we are a society of disconnected individuals who are living through our mind instead of our heart. This tendency to live in the mind, in a place of thought rather than being guided by the pure energy of our soul, is the greatest challenge and barrier to uncovering your inner wisdom and power. In her signature story-telling style, Kate guides you towards uncovering that hidden potential that lies beneath the act you present to the world. Packed with practical exercises and insightful tips, this book shows you how to drop the act once and for all, and be the person you were born to be. 
  Most people assume the words ‘elite’ and ‘performer’ can only be applied to a select few, but as Kate explains, we are all performers in our own lives. Whether you are a mum, a dad, a wife, a husband, a partner, or a friend – or a player, an academic, an employee or an employer, we are all performing in life. And we all have the potential within us to fulfil our purpose and achieve genuine success and happiness.
