About the Author

Bryan Kesselman’s first book, Paddington Pollaky Private Detective (a biography of a Victorian private investigator) was published in 2015. The Madness of Captain Mills is based on real events, and like the first book involved extensive research involving contact with archives in several countries. Bryan is a composer, musical director and opera singer and lives in the UK. Works include music and lyrics for an opera based on the Dreyfus Affair, first performed in 1998, and “Zimbabwe Suite” for choir and orchestra, commissioned for performances in Zimbabwe and London.

Buy Now! Shattered 1 – The Impact by Thompson Charlie

ByCassandra Anderson

Displaced and running away from political persecution in Zimbabwe, Bloggs shares his macabre experiences of the regime that forced him into exile.

> Depressed by his raw, squalid life, the threat of an ignominious death on the streets of Johannesburg and shame of failing his family, the equilibrium between his inner self and the outside world descends into chaos and mental anguish. In near despair and degradation, his blighted spirit collides with the dark forces of his extremity which triggers an amazing transformation that not only saves him but also touches the broken lives of other people around him.

> Bloggs, refusing to pity himself, finds philosophical humour in his life situation. For him it is the enduring spirit of freedom and honesty rallied with courageous responses to forces of dehumanization that constitutes nobility and hope.

Glowing review for The Book of Revelations by Daragh Fleming

Glowing review for The Book of Revelations by Daragh Fleming

ByCassandra Anderson

This is the first publication from the young Cork author and it is an impressive debut. The most striking element is the voice. It goes without saying that any novel or short story or any piece of fiction really needs to have an original voice. Sometimes, it can take a while to establish a voice. Sometimes, it is a matter of finding it and having the confidence to recognize your voice. In the case of Daragh Fleming he brings us a strong new voice right from the first page. The stories are also written in a very distinct style which Flemming refers to as conversational.
