  Grand Theft Giro is a raw, funny and deeply human Scottish memoir written and narrated by Frankie Gault. Set across the streets, schemes and shorelines of Inverclyde, these true stories move between chaos and tenderness, addiction and recovery, trouble and survival. Frankie tells of growing up on the west coast of Scotland in a world of giro days, dodgy decisions, near-disasters and second chances, where the line between comedy and catastrophe is always thin. 
  From time in prison and nights that spiralled out of control, to the unexpected kindness of strangers and the quiet loyalty of friends, each story reveals another side of working-class life in Scotland. Some chapters are laugh-out-loud funny; others are hard to listen to. All are told with unflinching honesty, sharp observation and a deep affection for the people and places that made him. 
  Told in Frankie’s own voice, this unabridged audiobook offers an unfiltered portrait of a man who has lived through darkness, stumbled towards recovery and found meaning in telling the truth about where he came from. 
  For listeners who enjoy real Scottish stories, working-class memoirs and humour drawn from lived experience, Grand Theft Giro is a powerful, unforgettable journey through one man’s life in Inverclyde.

  Mary Frances Butts was born on 13th December 1890 in Poole, Dorset. 
  Her early years were spent at Salterns, an 18th-century house overlooking Poole Harbour.  Sadly in 1905 her father died, and she was sent for boarding at St Leonard's school for girls in St Andrews. 
  Her mother remarried and, from 1909, Mary studied at Westfield College in London, and here, first became aware of her bisexual feelings.  She was sent down for organising a trip to Epsom races and only completed her degree in 1914 when she graduated from the London School of Economics.  By then Mary had become an admirer of the occultist Aleister Crowley and she was given a co-authorship credit on his ‘Magick (Book 4)’. 
  In 1916, she began the diary which would now detail her future life and be a constant reference point for her observations and her absorbing experiences. 
  During World War I, she was doing social work for the London County Council in Hackney Wick, and involved in a lesbian relationship.  Life changed after meeting the modernist poet, John Rodker and they married in 1918. 
  In 1921 she spent 3 months at Aleister Crowley's Abbey of Thelema in Sicily; she found the practices dreadful and also acquired a drug habit.  Mary now spent time writing in Dorset, including her celebrated book of short stories ‘Speed the Plough’ which saw fully develop her unique Modernist prose style. 
  Europe now beckoned and several years were spent in Paris befriending many artists and writing further extraordinary stories.   
  She was continually sought after by literary magazines and also published several short story collections as books. Although a Modernist writer she worked in other genres but is essentially only known for her short stories.  Mary was deeply committed to nature conservation and wrote several pamphlets attacking the growing pollution of the countryside. 
  In 1927, she divorced and the following year her novel ‘Armed with Madness’ was published.  A further marriage followed in 1930 and time was spent attempting to settle in London and Newcastle before setting up home on the western tip of Cornwall.  By 1934 the marriage had failed. 
  Mary Butts died on 5th March 1937, at the West Cornwall Hospital, Penzance, after an operation for a perforated gastric ulcer. She was 46.

  Honeymoons - through writers' eyes

  The honeymoon – no other holiday inspires so much anticipation of blissful happiness, nor such potential for catastrophic disappointment. Using extracts from fiction and from real-life diaries and letters, Honeymoons: through writers' eyes takes you on a rollercoaster of an emotional journey into the heart of human longing, to examine what it is we are seeking, what we expect, when we embark on life together. There are real journeys to Pisa and Rome, through Switzerland and India and to the moors of Yorkshire. We hear about the consummations of royal weddings; and the dire consequences of marriages of convenience and those entered into with calculation. The road is littered with pleasures, great and small, not to mention surprises, disappointments, cads and one or two corpses.
