    Tom Stodulka has loved to write for many years, though as a child he found this form of expression was a struggle. As the years progressed, through high school and law school, Stodulka gained an appreciation of language and how it could be used a s a tool for making a difference. His confidence grew enough to write diaries of his life in the Navy and eventually in 1976, on board the HMAS Duchess , he wrote his first poem, The World and the Future, which features in his first publication, Strom Clouds and Silver Linings; My Journey. 
    In this, his fifth publication, Tom continues to reflect, share his creative output and positively impact those with his work. Life is Love contains seventy brand new poems along with thirty of his previous works that his dedicated readers have requested be featured as special favourites. Also you will find reflections from fellow authors and Tom’s publisher on their experience of sharing special creative moments with him. 
    People often ask me what inspires me to write. The answer is simple; I love capturing the moment of a changing world and value incredibly the impact my writing has on my readers, whether it is my wife, family and friends, or complete strangers across the globe. A big thank you to you all.

    These poems of memory and girlhood are powerful evocations of the changing body and the male gaze. A raw, absurdist humour provides a sense of defiance throughout, and the tone is in turns sad, angry, rue.– Hannah Lowe

    Richard Dreyfuss and Stacy Keach star in this full-cast performance of Arthur Miller’s classic The Crucible, a central work in the canon of American drama.  
     
    In the rigid theocracy of Salem, Massachusetts, rumors that women are practicing witchcraft galvanize the town. In a searing portrait of a community engulfed by panic - with ruthless prosecutors, and neighbors eager to testify against neighbor - The Crucible famously mirrors the anti-Communist hysteria that held the United States in its grip in the 1950’s. A Tony Award Winner for Best Play.

    Christopher Marlowe was born in Canterbury to shoemaker John Marlowe and his wife Catherine. His exact date of birth is not known, but he was baptised on 26 February 1564.  
    And with this, Christopher Marlowe, one of the supreme English literary talents, made his entrance into the world.   
    Little is really known of his life except that from an early age, even at University, he was perhaps working as a spy.  His short life was filled with writing great works of exceptional quality. From the Jew of Malta to Doctor Faustus and Tamburlaine the Great Parts I & II his pen was the tool by which this great mind bequeathed great works to the world. 
    Add to this so many other stories of what Marlowe was or might have been: a spy, a brawler, a heretic, a "magician", "duellist", "tobacco-user", "counterfeiter", “atheist”, and "rakehell". 
    But certainly add to this; playwright and poet. An original. 
    Christopher Marlowe was buried in an unmarked grave in the churchyard of St. Nicholas, Deptford on June 1st, 1593. 
    Had his life not been so curtailed it seems that the Elizabethan Age may well have had two giants of equal standing: Shakespeare and Marlowe.
