  David Herbert Lawrence was born on the 11th September 1885 in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, a coal mining town where the reality of a harsh life was only useful as experiences for future literary works. 
  He was educated at Beauvale Board School and became the first local boy to receive a scholarship to attend Nottingham High School. After 3 years he became a junior clerk in Haywood’s surgical appliances factory. He was also attempting a literary career which, in the short term, led to a teacher training position in Eastwood and later a teaching qualification from University College, Nottingham.  
  Lawrence’s first efforts were poems, short stories and a draft of ‘The White Peacock’. Moving to London and a teaching position in Croydon his writing attracted the attention of Ford Madox Ford, editor of The English Review, and he commissioned him to write ‘Odour of Chrysanthemums’.  
  Wanting to write full-time he now began work on what would become ‘Sons and Lovers.   
  In 1912 he met the older and married mother-of-three Frieda Weekley. They eloped to Germany and here Lawrence could see for himself the growing tensions with France.  So keen was his interest that he was arrested and accused of being a British spy.  
  In early 1914 Frieda obtained her divorce and they returned to Britain to be married just days before the outbreak of war. Owing to her German parentage, and his own public dislike of militarism and violence, the couple were treated with contempt and suspicion throughout the war years.  
  Despite this he continued to write but his reputation in England was so tarnished and, mirrored by his own disdain for the country, he and Frieda left England in November 1919, first for Europe and then America via Ceylon and Australia. 
  They bought a ranch in Taos, New Mexico and visited Mexico several times. The third visit in March 1925 caused a near fatal attack of malaria. To convalesce they moved to Florence. Here he continued work on ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ which for many years would cause controversy. A renewed interest in oil painting resulted in an exhibition in 1929 which was raided by the police and several works were confiscated.  
  D H Lawrence died of complications arising from a bout of tuberculosis on the 2nd of March 1930 in Vence, France.  He was 44.

  Between Square Buttes is 35 short pieces that chronicle the American West over the last 50 years.  It is bird hunting, fly fishing, dog breeding, dog trialing, decline of habitat, loss of access, but mostly it is the story of the greatness that still exists in America today.  It started as a tribute to the last best place, Montana.  But in the end, it may be the beginning of the end of the last best place.  Told anecdotally, it brings to life the rivers, the plains, and the dogs that hunt these vast stretches of prairie.  And finally, it tells of the changes in land ownership in the West as more and more of it is being eaten up by developers and new landowners from all over the world who want a piece of it before it all goes away.  Revel in the rare beauty and incredible richness through the eyes and understanding of a man who has been there and done that.  Between Square Buttes will make you happy, make you sad, lift your spirit and break your heart as you follow the life of a serious fly fisherman and bird hunter who hunted and fished the best when it was the best and left the rest behind in search of more rivers, and newer land to hunt.

  'The story is beautifully written.... one of love between a father and daughter. No matter the struggle, the father continued to battle everything to get his child back to the life she loved... I recommend this book to everyone. It's in my top 5 reads.' - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 
  In this heartbreaking true story, the abduction of his daughter has a father on an emotional and difficult journey through Family Court in pursuit of justice. The battle is bitter and brutal, with the child stuck in the middle of a heartless and inept UK legal system. Constant and baseless accusations from the mother further derail proceedings, causing delays and torment for their daughter. This story is about courage, angst, perseverance, selfishness, love, and pain. 
  Two sides rival for the residency of their daughter. One trying to bring her back home to the life she adores. The other is starting a new life in an unfamiliar location many miles away from family and friends.
