Summary

David is dying, or maybe he isn't. Hard to say, really, because no one ever gives you a timetable when you're disabled, autistic, queer, and stuck improvising your way through existence. What he does know is this: if life is going to keep punching him in the gut, he might as well write it all down first.
 
A Life in Too Many Margins is the story of a man looking backward while time keeps nudging him forward. From childhood misunderstandings to medical disasters, David is collecting the fragments of a life shaped by truths he didn't discover until far too late: that he's neurodivergent, that his body will never play by the rules. That gender was never the box people insisted it had to be.
 
If you've ever felt like the world wasn't built with you in mind, or if you just enjoy a dark laugh in the middle of disaster, David's story will remind you that sometimes real life only happens… in the margins.

    Arnold Bennett was born in 1867 in Hanley one of the six towns that formed the Potteries that later joined together to become Stoke on Trent; the area in which most of his works are located. For a short time he worked for his solicitor father before realising that to advance his life he would need to become his own man. Moving to London at twenty-one he obtained work as a solicitor’s clerk and gradually moved into a career of journalism. At the turn of the century he turned full time to writing and shortly thereafter in 1903 he moved to Paris and in 1908 published to great acclaim The Old Wives Tale. With this his reputation was set. Clayhanger and The Old Wives Tale are perhaps his greatest and most lauded novels.

    The Creatures That Time Forgot by Ray Bradbury is a haunting and thought-provoking science fiction masterpiece set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity’s existence has been compressed into a mere eight days. Following the tragic yet heroic journey of Sim, a boy born into a dying cave society, Bradbury explores the fragility of life, the relentlessness of time, and the desperate yearning for freedom and meaning. With evocative prose and powerful allegory, this mid-20th-century classic stands as one of Bradbury’s most profound meditations on human endurance and the eternal struggle against extinction.

    Ivar The Destroyer is dead. Killed by my hands. 
 
 
 
Now, I hold the throne, and the Berserkers look to me for leadership. But loyalty runs deep—can I really trust the men who followed Ivar's ruthless orders? So much blood has been spilled to end this fight before it ever began, but bigger challenges loom. 
 
 
 
My men were captured and taken to The Cities, and now fractured pasts, lies, and love will blur together as I fight to save the only people I care about—the men I love. It's a race against time, and an exercise in trust requiring the assistance of both family and allies, new and old, from all four corners of the Wastes. 
 
 
 
Slave. Champion. Queen. I am all of these and so much more. It's time I showed them who I really am. 
 
 
 
The Wasteland is changing, I can feel it in the air, war . . . war is coming and I will lead the battle cry.

    Sequel to Twelve Letters

In the autumn of 1814, the Honourable Percy Havilland is generally content with his sheltered existence in London's exclusive Mayfair. As a society beau, renowned for his fair and youthful beauty and an object of desire to other well-born gentlemen, Percy is slightly miffed his personal life is not running as seamlessly as he might wish.


His good-natured lover from the spring season, Jo Everett, has inexplicably lost interest, and his replacement, Nathaniel Brooks, is far too hard-headed to be cajoled and manipulated into pandering to Percy's every whim.


But these trifles are cast into proportion when, out of the blue, a family scandal of immense proportions threatens Percy's peace of mind and his standing amongst the ton. Fearing rejection or even social banishment, to his surprise, Percy discovers a small, unconventional band of friends, including Jo, who are prepared to stick by him. And more importantly, he finds Nathan is utterly reliable in a crisis.


Will Percy remain spoiled, immature, and pampered? Or can he grow from this disaster to appreciate the value of true friendship? Might he even learn to love?
