  The Secret Carp is a fishing book with a difference. As The Independent comments, it is one of the few books that manages to capture the real joy of fishing in such a way that even a non-angler could be seduced. It tells the true story of the events of a single day and night beside an English carp lake in high summer.
  When he stumbled upon a long-neglected, overgrown lake holding some monster carp, Chris Yates knew that he had discovered the kind of place about which every carp angler dreams. He set about trying to catch the huge, elusive inhabitants with rod and line. It was a quest that was to reveal many insights into the secretive behaviour of this king of freshwater fish and bring him thrillingly into contact with his quarry.
  Waiting, watching and stalking, quite undeterred by the damp sleeping bag and the cold. Yates' enthralling story whispers adventure and promise. And it is punctuated by moments of great drama as monster fish disturb the tranquil world of the angler.
  Fishermen of all persuasions will enjoy this masterful angling chronicle.

  You see them every day on the wires and the bins, and you have started to wonder whether the crow on your street actually knows who you are. It does. It may also be holding a grudge.
  
  This audiobook opens each short chapter inside a living scene, a crow dropping walnuts on a Tokyo crossing, a pair of ravens sledding down a snowbank, then delivers one documented wow-behaviour from the science of crow intelligence. You will hear how crows recognise individual human faces for years, how New Caledonian crows craft hooked tools, why crows gather around their dead, how nutcrackers relocate thousands of buried seeds, and how ravens plan for tomorrow and bring gifts to the people who feed them.
  
  By the last chapter, the black birds on your block stop being background and become neighbours with memories, plans and opinions about you. Press play, and go meet the wild mind that lives nearest to your own.

My first book was Called "Growing Up Bajan" which chronicled my life and early memories in and of Barbados. After living and working for several years in New York, I relocated to Georgia with my wife Zola Faye-Walkes.
