  "Here inside of my second book, you will hear more stories from the gallery of my life. I am a special gentleman from Southern California living with disabilities - I was diagnosed with both cerebral palsy and scoliosis as a toddler. I am a writer who uses an augmentative alternative communication (AAC) device to speak. I wrote this sequel so that I could share more of my life with you, chronicling events from shortly after my high school graduation in 1991 all the way up to my 40th birthday in 2010. To fully appreciate my story, you'll need to read my first book "The Life of Alberto (Volume One)" so that you may follow my steps from the beginning. This second volume of my autobiography will take you through many of the humorous and memorable moments of my adult life. I am dedicating this book in loving memory of my father, Norm Baston. I hope that you find my experience as wonderful as I have. -Alberto Baston"

  "Ever been so hurt that you want to go to one's mama, 
  and ask why she did not beat their butt? 
  Somehow. 
  You thought the relationship was a lasting forever, 
  but it was an artificial, long-term shortcut.  
  You didn't even know what was up. 
  You were just the Bonnie and Clyde... 
  loyal, giving peace, a symbol of good luck. 
  What God has joined together, 
  let no man put asunder. 
  How you let the enemy use you, 
  and put the relationship under? 
  Sex addiction. Infidelity. 
  Lies. Deceit. 
  Actions were supposed to be stronger. 
  The trust is gone, pain exists. 
  You don't want to be in the relationship any longer. 
  What happened to getting on your knees? 
  Praying to God over miseries. 
  Having faith and working into victories. 
  Not living your greatest fantasies? 
  Please. 
  Who's the blame? 
  Depends on how you go about it. 
  The efforts you put in 
  is what you will get out of it. 
  Do not doubt it.  
  With God, 
  all things are possible... 
  fight your way around it. 
  A relationship that God has put together, 
  is a long-term forever. 
  You will know when you've found it." -Queen Pennin ("Color Me in the Lines-A Poetry Collection of God's Markers" 2024) 
  This series reflects the transformation of being a victim, into being a survivor. Then conquering past relationship trauma. 
  Queen Pennin authors this series and revolutionizes artistry by introducing a fusion of rap, poetry, and spoken word. This series aims to encourage and motivate positive transformation through stories of relationship tragedies where self-love emerges as the ultimate triumph.

  Emma is like every girl in the world. She has a few little secrets. 
   
  Secrets from her mother: 
  1. I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom to Danny Nussbaum while Mum and Dad were downstairs watching TV. 
   
  … From her boyfriend: 
  2. I’m a size twelve. Not a size eight, like Connor thinks. 
  3. I’ve always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. As in Barbie and Ken. 
   
  … From her colleagues: 
  4. When Artemis really annoys me (which is pretty much every day), I feed her plant orange juice. 
  5. It was me who jammed the copier that time. In fact, all the times. 
   
  …Secrets she wouldn’t share with anyone in the world: 
  6. My G string is hurting me. 
  7. I faked my Maths GCSE grade on my CV. 
  8. I have no idea what NATO stands for. Or even what it is… 
   
  …until she spills them all to a handsome stranger on a plane. After all, she’ll never see him again. 
   
  But on Monday morning, Emma’s office is abuzz about the arrival of Jack Harper, the company’s elusive CEO. Suddenly Emma is face-to-face with the stranger from the plane, a man who knows every single humiliating detail about her. 
   
  Things couldn’t possibly get worse... Until they do.

  If you enjoyed the romance, humour, mystery and fun of the Shackleford Sisters, get ready for more mayhem with the Victorian Shacklefords... 
   
  In the seaside town of Paignton, England, 1891, twenty-two-year-old Alexandra Shackleford faces an uncertain future when her father, Chief Inspector Henry Shackleford, is forced into early retirement from the police force. Living with her five sisters and their outspoken Aunt Charlotte at Cliff House, Alex has resigned herself to spinsterhood—until fate brings the enigmatic Baron Tavistock back into her life. 
   
  Three years earlier, Lieutenant Rhys Gould stole Alex's heart during a brief, passionate encounter before vanishing without explanation. Now he returns as the newly inherited Baron, desperately seeking help for his mother who has fallen victim to a mysterious blackmailer. What begins as a simple case of fraud soon unravels into something far more sinister, drawing the Shackleford family into a dangerous web of secrets that threatens everything they hold dear. 
   
  As dark truths emerge about the past, Alex must navigate not only the perils of their investigation but also the painful mystery of why Rhys has kept her at arm's length. With her father's investigative skills, her aunt's decidedly unconventional methods, and her own fierce determination, Alex finds herself at the heart of a deadly game where love and justice hang in the balance. 
   
  Set against the backdrop of Victorian England's rigid social conventions, Alexandra weaves together romance, mystery, and family loyalty in an unforgettable tale. With memorable characters—from the razor-sharp Charlotte to the irrepressible young Billy—this atmospheric story combines the charm of a period mystery with the emotional depth of a passionate love story, complete with Beverley Watts’s trademark wit and humour. 
   
  A tale of courage, redemption, and the power of love to overcome the darkest secrets, Alexandra marks the thrilling beginning of the Shackleford and Daughters series—where one family's quest for justice will change their lives forever.

  'One of the best historical fiction books of 2025' THE TIMES'A delightful cross between Wolf Hall and Blackadder' THE EXPRESS 
  The debut novel by BAFTA and Emmy award-winning co-writer of BBC One's Outnumbered Guy Jenkin. 
  'Clever, funny, ingenious and endearing' Lissa Evans'The most audacious plot ever... gritty, engrossing and great fun' Beth Morrey'A great story, fast, dramatic, funny, full of the sounds and smells of Elizabethan London' Andy Hamilton 
  It’s 1593, Elizabeth I is Queen and everyone is terrified of the worst outbreak of plague in a generation. Shakespeare has only written six plays and is lagging behind his friend Christopher Marlowe, London’s leading playwright. 
  When Marlowe is stabbed to death in mysterious circumstances, rumours abound – but the one that won’t go away is that Shakespeare did it to remove his greatest rival. Will is determined to clear his name, and teams up with his old flame, Marlowe’s sister Ann, who has plenty of secrets of her own. 
  In their search to solve the crime, Will and Ann uncover a dark world of treachery, murder, and corruption – which in turn provides Shakespeare with scenes and characters which will appear in his greatest plays. Murder Most Foul is a dark, witty and fast-paced novel, from one of Britain’s best-loved screenwriters. 
  'An ingenious, funny and erudite thriller' John O'Farrell'Funny, thrilling and full of wonderful easter eggs for Shakespearean theatre fans... a treat from start to finish' David Greig
