Sinopsis

Spending Time with an Angel is a diary in which Paul Lazor documents all stages of his wife, Julie, during her battle against leukaemia. We can clearly see how love, sorrow, and resiliency play an integral role in their lives throughout the book. It portrays a life filled with routine activities and common aspirations, as well as the warmth and humour in the family and the couple’s exchanges that highlight their close friendship from the outset. As symptoms emerged, his wife’s gradual decline was accompanied by struggles with worry and confusion. As the course of therapy goes on, the diary entries get increasingly melancholy, and along with Julie’s hardships, the emotional agony is ever-present.This story depicts the emotional ups and downs of chronic disease through contrasting moments of hope and despair.Readers will learn more about the intricacies of love during trying times by reading this diary. The book reflects a difficult journey, portraying a heartbreaking situation through the eyes of a man remembering his wife.Paul Lazor, born Pawlo Lazor in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England, in 1955, is the son of refugees who came from Eastern Europe after the end of the Second World War. I transferred to a grammar school at the age of 16 and eventually to the University of Birmingham, where I studied Science. I graduated in 1976 and embarked upon a career in the Sale of scientific instruments to Industry. I travelled to Eastern Europe and Russia, encountering the Secret Police and Donald Maclean, the infamous spy.After my first marriage came to a tragic end, I met Julie in 1990, who became my wife and Angel in the story. In 2001, Julie was diagnosed with leukaemia, and she passed away in 2005. In 2014, after a period of calm and tranquillity in my life, I decided to start a new life in Spain. After retiring in 2022 and learning to speak Spanish to a reasonable standard, I am now teaching Spanish as an enjoyable hobby to expats from England.

It falls into the sub-genre of city comedy (depicting ordinary London life).Aristocrat Rowland Lacy falls in love with middle class girl Rose Oateley, but Rose's father and Lacy's uncle refuse to approve the match because of the class difference and Rowland's spendthrift lifestyle. Rowland is told to redeem himself by joining the army fighting in France. To avoid going, he persuades someone else to take his place and disguises himself as a Dutch shoemaker, Hans. He becomes an apprentice of eccentric but hard-working tradesman, Simon Eyre, and negotiates a business deal that bags his employer thousands of pounds. Eyre is made Sheriff of London and later, Lord Mayor.Meanwhile, another of Eyre's employees, Ralph, leaves for the French wars. He returns to find that his wife, Jane, has been poached by a rich dandy, Hammon.

Rescuing this pup could bring her a whole new life… if it doesn’t kill her first. 
Ivy Galloway doesn’t know how desperate she is to escape the big city and her soul-sucking corporate career until she meets a sheepdog in need of rescue, too. Ivy has downsized so many staff that her boss calls her “the grim reaper” of HR but it’s the only job she’s known. It would take something huge to make her leave that behind. 
Or something small… like a pup in the wrong hands. Criminal hands. 
Enlisting her best friend, she confronts the dog’s deadbeat owner with logic, humor and professional courtesy. When her HR skills fall flat, however, conservative Ivy starts breaking the rules. The clever dog digs in to help by unearthing a chilling clue that could put his owner away for good. 
Can Ivy and the pup she loves evade a genuine grim reaper long enough to gain a new leash on life in the country? 
This short prequel to the laugh-out-loud Bought-the-Farm Mystery series is a page-turner for lovers of animals, humor and spunky amateur sleuths.
