Behind Rose Bordered Windows

William A. Pollard

Sinossi

Can you believe what you see?
Let me ask you that another way. Can you really, unquestionably believe what you see?
Can you really, unquestionably believe that anything you have seen actually exists, even though you have touched it?
Bill Colbert thinks he inherited a field. Although this, in itself, is a surprise, more surprising is the manor house, five cottages and Trout stream that are all part of the inheritance.
Little did Bill realise that he inherited a nightmare. A nightmare that will make him question his own sanity.
Five cottages, all with rose bordered picture windows that hide the simplicity of the lives that live in those cottages.
Five cottages, all with secrets of their own.
Five secrets, hidden behind those rose bordered windows. Secrets that have been forgotten with the passage of time. Secrets that should be forgotten.
Dark secrets. Secrets that no one wants repeated.

Born in Sheffield in 1950 Bill is now retired and lives with Sheila, his wife of over fifty-three years. He has enjoyed a diverse life, fulfilling varied roles in the army, in employment and in retirement.
In 1966, at the age of 15½, he joined the army and enjoyed many overseas postings, with extended tours in Northern Ireland, France, Cyprus, Kenya, Iran, Bermuda and the USA. He culminated his Army career in 1977 as an instructor at his regiment’s depot.
After leaving the army, Bill has been employed as a surveyor, lecturer, technical adviser to an insurer and, just prior to retirement, as a self-employed health and safety consultant.
Bill is a published author and is also a published music composer and arranger.

Tender Betrayal

Rosanne Bittner

Stolen kisses and secret reunions lead to a passion that civil war cannot sever in this glorious historical romance from the bestselling author of Caress.   Beautiful, proud Audra Brennan feels like a stranger in a foreign land when she comes north from Louisiana to study music. But when she savors her first forbidden taste of desire in the arms of handsome lawyer Lee Jeffreys, his caresses spark a flame within her that burns away the differences between rebel and Yankee, all objections silenced by the fierce beating of two wild hearts falling impetuously, impossibly in love.   Suddenly cannon fire shatters the country. Principled, impassioned, and committed to a nation united, Lee answers the call to fight against the Confederacy, while Audra hurries home to a plantation shadowed by the darkening cloud of war. But in the most terrible of circumstances, can either afford to surrender their heart?   “Power, passion, tragedy and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —RT Book Reviews

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.
