  Art. The greatest standard bearer of what the human condition really is?  Or Emperor’s Clothes, cheap gimmicks displayed as all-knowing? 
  When it comes to writing we have our favourite authors.  But what of the authors themselves. What are they keen to write of? 
  For our classic authors; from Poe to Lovecraft, from Woolf to Fitzgerald art in their words, is something to be admired.  From many angles, many views, their stories, their characters interact with art and the consequences fall as they may.

  Forced into a humiliating capitulation, the sixteen thousand souls of the British column – soldiers, sepoys, and a vast multitude of civilian camp followers – begin their infamous winter retreat. "Gandamak's Fury: The Road from Kabul" charts this catastrophic journey, a ninety-mile exodus from the Afghan capital towards the distant hope of Jalalabad, a path that would become a byword for military disaster.

  Trenches Of Despair - The Story...

  "Trenches of Despair" tells the devastating story of the Thompson quadruplets—Billy, John, George, and Thomas—four identical brothers from London's East End who lie about their age to enlist in World War I, transforming from eager volunteers into casualties of the war's brutal machinery. 
  In the summer of 1914, the seventeen-year-old brothers live in a cramped terraced house on Whitmore Street, each with distinct personalities despite their identical appearance. Billy is the natural leader, John the artistic dreamer, George the cheerful entertainer, and Thomas the man of quiet faith. Each has found love—Billy with neighbor Edith Hartwell, John with intellectual Mary Whitfield, George with baker's daughter Florence Meadows, and Thomas with gentle Annie Clarke. 
  When war breaks out, social pressure mounts through the white feather campaign, where women distribute symbols of cowardice to men not in uniform. The brothers face impossible choices between family duty and national service, ultimately enlisting together after being publicly shamed. Their working-class background contrasts sharply with their upper-class officers, highlighting the war's class divisions. 
  After training at Aldershot, they deploy to France in early 1915, experiencing their first taste of trench warfare's horror. The Christmas Truce of 1914 becomes a pivotal moment when they meet German soldiers in No Man's Land, sharing songs, photographs, and discovering their enemies' humanity—making the resumption of killing infinitely more tragic. 
  The brothers survive the early battles, but the war's grinding attrition begins taking its toll. John, the sensitive artist, dies first at the Battle of the Somme in 1916, cut down by a sniper while trying to help wounded comrades. His death devastates the family and his sweetheart Mary, who never recovers from the loss. 
  Thomas, the man of faith, sacrifices himself at Passchendaele in 1917, charging a German machine gun position to save his section.

  Dear Diary - A Short Story...

  The diary is that most intimate of journals, of records. 
   
  Within its pages the writer records and gives expression to their thoughts, their feelings, their emotional state on all the things that make up and surround them in this world. 
   
  For most people the diary is a way to record the milestones of life; a birthday, a new love, the passing of someone as well as the minutiae of everyday life that seems worth passing into written memory.   
   
  It may be a daily task, or an occasional flurry of words whenever it’s deemed necessary yet, apart from politicians and celebrities, these pages are never really shared.  The truth they hold is personal to the writer, and others are not privy to its contents. 
   
  With authors of the calibre of Bulgakov, Woolf, Tolstoy, Twain and many others this volume explores characters who lives seemed dominated by these diaries, and the events that unfold are both compelling and literary journeys into the very personal and intimate side of their characters’ lives.
