  Grand Prix Racing during the 1990’s was among one of the best era’s of the sport. Not only did you have great F1 drivers & loud F1 engines (like the old V12’s) which not only excited fans, but, the sport was full of colourful characters and it was an era before people were afraid of watching their words.

  Chapter 19        1994 – A Brief Overview of F1’s Darkest Season  
    
  Since 2015 I’ve been researching all the books, internet sources and magazines (Autosport, F1 News and Motor Sport) covering 1990’s F1. Furthermore I’ve interviewed various key figures employed by Benetton, Ford Electronics and Williams. In addition, I’ve studied all the on track action from time – simply because I love reliving that era of F1. This book & its short stories listed above are the fruits of all that hard work and research. 
  As a devoted Formula 1 fan, I thought I knew everything about the sport from the 1990’s before starting this project. But since interviewing those involved it soon became apparent how much had yet to be made public. I’ve resigned from my day job purely to write this book. That is h

  Nothing Like a Dane - A...

  The Danish concept of hygge is a wonderful thing. Even if most fail miserably when they try to pronounce or explain its true essence. Unless you’re a Viking of course. 
  As Keri stood in the departure lounge of Auckland International Airport with her four-month-old baby, searching for her flight on the board, hygge wasn’t on her radar. In hindsight she agrees it probably should have been. 
  But she’d never imagined a chance encounter with a Dane in a crowded bar in her home city of Wellington would lead her here, a mother, about to circle the globe, with no knowledge of when she'd return home. 
  Eighteen thousand kilometres away a new life awaited her in Denmark. A country where babies sleep outside, the word for bread is seemingly impossible to pronounce and a country in which immigration challenges abound. 
  A witty observer of cultural nuances, Keri reveals the day-to-day realities of a New Zealander living her best life in Denmark. From integration interrogations to rye bread misdemeanors, Nothing Like a Dane provides a humorous and heartfelt insight into creating a new life in a faraway land. 
  And what did she learn? That it’s not all hygge and pastries. Even in Denmark.

  'Great locations, sharp dialogue, intriguing mystery, plus a charming detective-dog with knowing hazel eyes - a delight.' Greg Mosse, author of the bestselling Maisie Cooper Mysteries
  'An excellent procedural featuring a likable heroine and her talented canine partner'Kirkus Reviews
  Meet Sergeant Ali Wren and her trusty companion Officer Police Dog Wilson, a springer spaniel with a nose for trouble. Together they serve the small Yorkshire town of Heft, where everyone knows everyone else's business. And if they don't, that's a cause for concern…
  Ali, who has just returned home to Heft, needs all her diplomatic skills, not to mention a huge sense of humour, to navigate the requirements of her job. Drama lurks around every corner, from rogue parking in the disabled bays to a feud between the long-established Hooley bakery and a fancy new 'cakery-bakery'. When Brian Bright reports his wife Melody missing, at first Ali thinks it's just another routine case. The evidence overwhelmingly suggests that Melody has simply left, tired of playing a supporting role to Brian's obsession with classic cars and his first (dead) wife.
  But something niggles. When Ali and Wilson doggedly continue their investigation, they find there was more to Melody than anyone realised – and more to her disappearance too…

  Persian Pictures

  Gertrude Bell

  In 1892, Gertrude Bell visited Persia (now Iran) shortly after the appointment of her uncle, Sir Frank Lascelles, as British minister in Tehran. Three years later came Persian Pictures, Gertrude Bell’s first written work, which presents a series of vivid sketches of Persian culture and society at the time. Bell explores various cities and landscapes, and encounters local characters along the way, providing a unique perspective on Persian life and customs. While much of what is depicted in Persian Pictures has long since changed, Bell’s writing is a valuable account of the anachronisms and inconsistencies of the dying dynasty of medieval Persia. Her depiction of Muharram – the month of mourning for Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Mohammed – and Ramadan, display a mind finely attuned to the differences and similarities between Islam and Christianity, and East and West. Persian Pictures is both travelogue and meditation – an elegiac and beautifully observed account of a spellbinding land.
