  The Lighthouse Cat: A Tale of Light, Courage, and the Sea 
   In a quiet lighthouse perched on a storm-tossed cliff, where the waves crash and the winds whisper forgotten stories, lives a small but fearless feline named Nixie. Guardian of the lantern and silent watcher of the tides, Nixie isn’t just any cat—she holds a secret as old as the sea itself. 
  When a fierce tempest threatens to swallow a nearby village and the lighthouse keeper goes missing, it’s up to Nixie to brave the storm. Guided by instinct, memory, and the flickering flame of the beacon above, she embarks on a heart-pounding journey across treacherous rocks, haunted shores, and crashing waves. 
  Blending the charm of classic animal tales with the lyrical beauty of maritime folklore, The Lighthouse Cat is a timeless story of courage in the face of darkness, the enduring power of light, and the mysterious bond between the sea and those who call it home. 
  Perfect for readers young and old, this is a tale that will warm hearts, stir imaginations, and remind us all that even the smallest among us can shine the brightest light.

  Brilliant Sounding Rubbish - A...

  A sharp, thoughtful and ultimately hopeful look at the past, present and future of the music industry from one of the people who helped shape it. 
  Kev Nixon, musician, songwriter, producer, artist manager, music educator and writer charts the unprecedented fall of British music’s global dominance with unflinching honesty, deep affection and biting wit.  Drawing on five decades in the business, Nixon reveals how the UK’s once world-leading musical culture has suffered from an obsession with technology, addiction to nostalgia and has become increasingly disconnected from artistic substance. 
  What began as a phrase coined while observing music students making overly-polished recordings using GarageBand, Nixon evolved “brilliant sounding rubbish” into a damning metaphor for an entire industry. Part memoir, part manifesto, and part behind-the-scenes exposé, the book journeys from Nixon’s childhood musical awakenings in 1960s Yorkshire to the chaos of modern streaming culture, tracing the roots of the crisis in everything from the collapse of artist development, to the rise of corporate ownership, and the devaluation of true music education. 
  Nixon details class prejudice in genre and music industry hierarchies, the myth of the self-made artist and the digital structures that control what the world hears and what it doesn’t.  Through personal stories, case studies and bold provocations, Brilliant Sounding Rubbish offers a clear-eyed vision for rebuilding an industry with heart, integrity and risk at its core while returning to the musical standards that put British music into world domination.  Nixon believes there’s still time to turn things around. If we bring back risk, nurture real talent and cease allowing technology to dominate creativity, the music business might just get its soul back. The future, he says, could have brilliant sounding substance – this time for all the right reasons.
