  In national treasure Dame Kelly Holmes’ most personal book yet, she tells the true story behind her extraordinary life from army recruit to Olympic hero and much-loved TV personality. 
   
  Last year, Dame Kelly came out publicly as being gay and revealed that for the first 52 years of her life she’d been living a LIFE OF FEAR. Now in a heart-rending and inspirational new memoir she tells of her journey from hiding her sexuality as a young soldier at a time when being gay in the military was illegal, to her fears of being outed as she stood on the podium at the Athens Olympics, the games which catapulted her to fame as a double-gold medallist. 
   
  Dame Kelly tells how she has managed to find happiness and inner peace as she has opened herself to a world where she’s finally free to be herself, and proud. In the last year she has become an unofficial ambassador for the LGBT community and has become one of the best- loved faces of daytime TV, joining the regular panel of ITV’s Loose Women. 
   
  This honest memoir is a tale of self-discovery, overcoming struggles and learning to be true to yourself.

  Fish Tales - Devotional Angles...

  Fish Tales – Devotional Angles for Anglers is a fun-loving, almost fantasical, yet entirely true collection of stories about a father and his son’s fishing adventures in the son’s growing up years. Presented with a very entertaining, devotional “spin,” these stories will make you laugh, maybe cry, and even feel a slight degree of trepidation and suspense as you “make it back to shore safely!” 
  You will humor the fact that this book is not a “how-to” be a great fisherman! In fact, it could be a “how-NOT-to” guide to fishing fame! But it is ‘breaming’ (pun intended) with hilarious and hazardous fish stories that will tickle your funny bone! OR make you “nervous as a house cat in a room full of rocking chairs” when you get caught in severe storms and lose complete control of the boat motor! 
  Most notably, you will hear the truth of Scripture as the Word of God speaks to your heart about important, everyday life lessons! The Bible is filled with fishing stories, not least among them, the invitation to become “fishers of men!” This book will hone your skills for sharing your love of Christ with others! 
  “Wayne’s witty way of telling fish tales is masterful and amusing! His ‘tales’ have enlightened me to the fact that fish are under God’s constant and direct leading, reminding me so much of my own personal experiences. Digging for red wiggler worms or netting minnows and crayfish for bait are familiar to rural North Carolina fishing. These tales describe a successful day not by the number of fish in the cooler but by the heartfelt memories of time spent with family and friends. 
  Thank you, Wayne, for these stories! I pray they will be as much a blessing to others as they are to me! I celebrate with you Christ’s invitation to, ‘Follow me and I will make you FISHERS OF MEN’” (Mt. 4:19). – Joseph Stephen Balazsi II, Long-Time friend and Vice President of Carolina Fishers of Men Inshore Trail
