Sinopse

I know that you know that there is a lot going on inside your body.
Educated people, like professors, and doctors, and nurses, and teachers, and first aiders, and paramedics all have long, indescribable and sometimes unpronounceable names for the things that they think work inside you to keep you upright.
Names like Epididymis (that’s my favourite), and Oesophagus, and Duodenum.
The truth is, your anatomy and physiology are far more interesting than you think.

What you don’t realise is that there is a whole community of tiny workers managing your insides. A really, really tiny community of people with the singular purpose of keeping your anatomy and physiology working in first class condition. They’re happy looking after your insides… Until something goes wrong.

Born in Sheffield, in 1950, Bill is now retired and lives with Sheila, his wife of over fifty-four years.
In 1966, at the age of 15½, he joined the army and enjoyed many overseas postings, with tours in Northern Ireland, France, Cyprus, Kenya, Iran, Bermuda and the USA. 
He culminated his Army career in 1977 as an instructor.
Since leaving the army Bill has been employed as a television and film extra, a building surveyor, a 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.

    The fifth book in The Jerry McNeal series has Jerry and his ghostly K-9 companion heading to Michigan to visit Max and discover what – if any – secrets are hiding in Lighthouse County Park. 
    Port Hope, the sleepy town that rests along the coast of Lake Huron, is the last place one would expect to find a dead body – much less a body that so closely resembles the one Jerry and Gunter uncovered in Tennessee. 
    Is the redhead spirit that visits Max in her dreams simply a wayward ghost that haunts Pointe Aux Barques Lighthouse? Or, will Jerry, Max and Gunter, discover a truth too frightening to be labeled a mere coincidence?

    A brilliant teenage boy teaches his dog to talk—and in West Texas, that’s enough to get them both killed. 
    Danny is a mixed-race teen on the autism spectrum, still reeling from his mother’s murder, trying to make sense of a disconnected father, and a world, that rarely make sense back. Lido, the stray he takes in, isn’t just loyal—he’s observant, irreverent, and has a lot to say once Danny gives him the words. 
    What starts as an experiment becomes something far more dangerous. 
    Because Lido doesn’t just speak—he tells the truth. 
    About people. About power. About the quiet, accepted things no one wants questioned. 
    As Danny and Lido navigate life in their small town West Texas, their bond deepens into something rare: two minds, human and canine, trying to understand life, loss, and the strange rules that govern both. But insight comes at a cost. In a place where inventive ideas and difference draw suspicion and truth invites retaliation, they find themselves pulled into a chain of events that turns them into unlikely activists, reluctant fugitives, and targets. 
    Darkly funny, sharp-eyed, and unexpectedly moving, Particles of Light is not a sentimental “boy and his dog” story—it’s a story about connection, survival, and what happens when someone finally says what everyone else is too afraid to admit.

    Being acknowledged for what you do is always very welcome.   When it comes to Oscar’s, Emmy’s, Pulitzer’s and Nobel’s it’s also international news and for many, the pinnacle of their career. 
     
    The Nobel Prize is much lauded and very difficult to secure.  In this volume we list ten of its winners over the decades who were famed for their literature.  The prize is given with an emphasis on its contribution to literature and its influence in the world and for the individual, more usually, for the body of work created. 
     
    So, whilst none of the stories in this volume were winners in their own right, their authors most certainly were.  They perfectly illustrate both the nature and mastery of the writing and the power and the purpose set within its storied prose.

    2 - The Father by Bjornstjerne Bjornson 
    3 - The Phantom Rickshaw by Rudyard Kipling
