Synopsis

My story is no different from countless other youngsters. I could easily have fallen into a life of crime, violence, alcohol, drugs and despair. I could have chosen to follow the negative path and repeat the cycle but instead I chose to dwell on the positive moments. It really doesn't matter where you start but where you finish.

Under the smiling face of 'Glasgow's Miles Better', poverty and violence still loom large. Not everyone makes it out. But Scott Kyle did.

Latch-key kid from the back streets of Rutherglen to award-winning actor and producer on red carpets around the world, Scott's story is one of hope.

With unflinching honesty and heart, he shares his journey, from a boy searching for belonging to a man determined to give back.

It's Not Where You Start is more than a story of survival – it's a testament to the transformative power of love, laughter and compassion.

    "Powerful and evocative" 
    Chris Riches, Daily Express 
    "An unmissable, inspirational memoir of an adventurous life.” 
    Female First magazine 
    “The Smallest Wave is moving, evocative, inspirational – an absolute must-read” 
    The London Economic 
    "The fierce and unapologetic voice of Dolores Reynals is matched by a cinematic writing style” 
    Global Woman magazine 
    "There is fierceness in the smallest wave, even the tiniest ones that reach the shore do what they do with all their might. They don't ask for permission, and they don't care that they are small." 
    From a young age, Dolores Reynals felt an irresistible pull to step into the world and dare to live a life defined on her own terms. Leaving the confines of her childhood in the desert city of Mendoza, Argentina, she began her quest of self-discovery across the ocean in Spain, connecting with ancestral roots while simultaneously finding the courage to move beyond them. 
    Sometimes settling and sometimes wandering, her insatiable curiosity and longing for adventure have taken her from London and Los Angeles to Mexico, all while shaping her life as an artist. 
    Through vivid anecdotes and lyrical prose, The Smallest Wave chronicles Dolores's tireless pursuit of authenticity and purpose amidst the ebbs and flows of existence. With a raw honesty, she recounts heartwarming triumphs and heartfelt challenges, confronting the questions that continue to echo from her past: What is femininity? What is identity? What is home? 
    A celebration of resilience, independence, and unyielding free spirit, this is the unflinching and inspirational story of one woman's journey to stay true to the person she is, even if it means releasing everything else.

    New Zealand's underworld of organised crime and deadly gangs 
      
    'The best true-crime book of the year by a long stretch.'- Steve Braunias, Newsroom  
    'A series of rip-snorting yarns about gangs, drugs, fancy cars, wads of cash, violence, and guns - Aotearoa New Zealand style.' 
    - Simon Bridges 
    New Zealand is now one of the most lucrative illicit drug markets in the world. Organised crime is about making money. It's a business. But over the past 20 years, the dealers have graduated from motorcycle gangs to Asian crime syndicates and now the most dangerous drug lords in the world - the Mexican cartels. 
    In Gangland, award-winning investigative reporter Jared Savage shines a light into New Zealand's rising underworld of organised crime and violent gangs. 
    The brutal execution of a husband-and-wife; the undercover cop who infiltrated a casino VIP lounge; the midnight fishing trip which led to the country's biggest cocaine bust; the gangster who shot his best friend in a motorcycle shop: these stories go behind the headlines and open the door to an invisible world - a world where millions of dollars are made, life is cheap, and allegiances change like the flick of a switch.

    A pilot's captivating autobiography that traces the development of night-flying from the early days of the Battle of Britain to the final triumph over Germany. 
     
     
     
    Perfect for fans of Geoffrey Wellum, Eric Brown, and Norman Hanson. 
     
     
     
    What was it like to soar through the night sky fighting enemy aircraft in the Second World War? 
     
     
     
    After completing intensive training Roderick Chisholm was thrust into the height of the Blitz to protect his country in the black of night. 
     
     
     
    Guided by rudimentary radar he, along with his fellow pilots of 604 Squadron, developed the art of night-fighter operations. 
     
     
     
    Fog, friendly-fire, disorientation, a Messerschmitt surprising you from behind—night-flying was a terrifying experience, even for skilled pilots, and Chisholm provides vivid insight into the hopes and fears of these men as they endeavored to do their best in difficult conditions. 
     
     
     
    Cover of Darkness records in fascinating detail how night-fighting progressed through the course of the war, initially through the use of radar, and later when Chisholm served in 100 Group Bomber Command developing radio countermeasures and organizing fighter support for the bombers raiding Germany by night.

    A hilarious memoir of home truths and whatever the opposite of 'that girl energy' is, from one half of the hit podcast Toni & Ryan. 
     
    Like most of us, Toni Lodge tells little white lies all the time. Whether it's 'I'm five minutes away' or 'It must have gone to my spam folder', most of these innocent fibs are harmless. But what if you realised that you weren't just lying about the little things, but the big 'life' stuff too?  
    When Toni sat down to write this memoir, she realised that the lies she was telling herself were hiding some pretty important home truths—about her work, her identity and her mental health. In her dogged pursuit of these truths, she brazenly explores everything from gastro, fame and Twilight to funerals, the Dalai Lama and Brazilian waxes.  
    In this hilarious warm hug of a book, Toni exposes the lies she has told herself about who she is and what she is capable of, inviting us on a riotous romp that will make you laugh, cringe, cry and utterly rethink the truth behind the stories we tell ourselves.

    When a terminally ill woman dies much earlier than expected, Lord Peter Wimsey suspects murder: "First-rate detection" (The Cincinnati Enquirer).Though never quick-witted, Agatha Dawson had an iron constitution and a will to fight that never abated in her old age. Even after three operations failed to rid her of her cancer, she refused to give in. But as her body began to weaken, she accused lawyers, nurses, and doctors of trying to kill her and snatch her fortune. The town physician, an expert in cancer, gives her six months to live. Only three days later, she is dead. Though the autopsy reveals nothing surprising, the doctor suspects that Agatha's niece had some hand in the old woman's death. When Lord Peter Wimsey, the dashing gentleman detective, looks into the matter, he finds that death stalks all those who might testify. How can he continue his investigation when every question marks another innocent for murder? Unnatural Death is the 3rd book in the Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries, but you may enjoy the series by reading the books in any order.
