  Coming from a working-class background, Paul Besley knew the worst and best of life in a Yorkshire steel town. He had always been drawn to the solitude of the hills, but that life nearly ended when a fall while hillwalking left him critically injured and alone in the mountains of the Lake District. Paul was found and brought to safety by a mountain rescue team. This was the trigger for him to transform his life, first by joining his local team, then by finding Scout, his very own Border collie puppy, and training him to become a mountain rescue search dog.
  In The Search, Paul writes with humour and honesty as we follow him and Scout through their complex training, with searches and rescue incidents sometimes tragic and often funny. Paul's demons and headstrong characters threaten to derail them, until his past finally catches up with him and his life inescapably unravels.

  The Rhythm of Grief is a love story that continues after death. 
  When Elizabeth Braun’s husband, George—a devoted firefighter and EMT (Emergency Medical Technician)—is diagnosed with cancer, their life shifts overnight into caregiving, uncertainty, and the fight for more time. What follows is a deeply personal memoir of love, loss, and learning how to live again. 
  Drawn from real-time journal entries and lived experience, this audiobook offers an honest and compassionate look at grief, widowhood, and the quiet work of rebuilding after loss. With warmth, vulnerability, and moments of unexpected humor, Elizabeth explores the emotions many struggle to name—guilt, anger, exhaustion, heartbreak, and enduring love. 
  This is not a guide to healing. It is a companion for anyone learning to keep going after profound change, and a gentle reminder that sometimes survival happens ten seconds at a time. 
  At its heart, this is a story about love that does not end, and how life slowly takes shape again.

He was in the ring when Gerald McClellan collapsed after suffering life-changing injuries in his fight with Nigel Benn. Nigel Mansell was his neighbour.

Many of his interviews are still used in TV shows today.

Encompassing a plethora of anecdotes that reveal the depth and wit of figures such as Brian Clough, Muhammad Ali, Billie Jean King and many others, this book considers how these people felt and thought during the pivotal sporting moments of the past half-century. From the Hand of God goal to the Munich massacre, Gary Newbon was there for it all. This, for the first time, is his story.

  Vincent O'Sullivan was born on the 28th November 1868 in New York City.  He was initially educated through the New York public school system before finishing his studies in England.  As a young man he remained in London and travelled often to Paris.  
  O’Sullivan lived a very comfortable life with income from the family coffee business.  He had no real need to work but decided that a literary lifestyle was for him.   
  In 1896 he released his first volume of supernatural fiction ‘A Book of Bargains’.  Within its pages were classic stories that involved pacts with the Devil, reanimated corpses and psychic vampires. 
  Over the course of his career, he wrote a mere 10 volumes of short stories, novels, poetry together with some occasional criticism. 
  In 1909 his brother, who ran the company, entered its resources into some terribly mis-timed trades in coffee futures and ruin for both the company and the family quickly followed. 
  From now until his death O’Sullivan was destitute, life was exceedingly difficult. 
  Vincent O’Sullivan died on the 18th July 1940 in Paris.  He was 71.  He was buried in a paupers grave along with the remains of others.
