Аннотация
Based on true events which took place in the early 60's, this is a story that confirms the truth of the adage "Be careful what you wish for". <br><br>Determined to leave behind a life of poverty, Lizzie Lambert dreamt of becoming a high-class call girl, "just like Elizabeth Taylor in Butterfield 8" — beautiful apartment, lovely clothes, dripping in furs and jewels. It was a dream typical of a young girl who has nothing. But as everyone knows a true courtesan is discreet, intelligent and well-educated in a wide variety of special skills and that takes time and dedication. <br><br>Lizzie was just sixteen when she first met Merhot Capritzo, a man who was not only charismatic but extremely dangerous. He was an accomplished lover who would teach his "Lilly" everything she would need to know in the comfort and safety of his Boston harem. There she would meet other girls each with their own story to tell; each with their own dream for a better future but there were others there too; girls who, for various reasons, were doomed. This is their collective story.

Mikail Roshan Housani was a man who always got what he wanted and he had no qualms whatsoever about using abduction, rape and murder to achieve his goal which isn't surprising because he was a past master of all three and a practicing psychopath. <br><br>What he wanted now was Mrs Develin Capritzo Sarquazi Rose – Sarah and her children but it had to be accomplished before she returned to Morocco and the gathering of the Benghazi. And there was another matter; the elimination of Sarah's current husband. Housani's plan was simple. Once widowed and in his charge he would force Sarah into marriage, gain control of her children and then claim the House of Raboud Housani first amongst the tribes.<br><br>If he thought it was going to be easy; that Sarah was in any way a typical twenty-three year old girl, he was in for a major surprise and the fight of his life. It would take all of Sarah's cunning and craft to win through because in this contest, there can be only one survivor.<br><br>This is not a love story but a tale of horror, populated by characters that will both fascinate and appal. A guaranteed five star read. <br><br>Creatures of the Chase – Mikail – Book Three: the third of a quartet.
Аннотация
Legally she was Sarah Develin Capritzo but very few people knew the truth. It really didn't matter since both Sarah's husbands were dead; the first of a heart attack; the second … well, he was murdered. That's a truth too and no one knew it better than Sarah herself since she was the one who killed him. Twenty-one years of age with two young sons, she was mistress of Cavendish Hall and fabulously wealthy. The thought of marrying again never occurred to her until she met Yusuf Nessim Sarquazi under extraordinary circumstances; circumstances as extraordinary as he was and the country he called home – Morocco.<br><br>This is a novel packed full of history and exotic travel, customs and culture. An improbable love story that is both fast paced and riveting; the action takes place in Southern Ireland, Massachusetts and Morocco. Be in for a few surprises though, because this is a novel populated by a remarkable cast of characters that will amuse one moment, astound the next then leave you horrified. <br><br>Creatures of the Chase –Yusuf – Book Two: the second of a quartet.

Young, intelligent, beautiful, Sarah Churchill knew exactly what she wanted from life and what she wanted was a career in medicine. On New Year's Eve, 1979 she was abducted.

Lessons well remembered in advance of the day when she would find herself as the Hunter although she would pay dearly for her entry to the Chase.<br><br>Set in Boston, Massachusetts and Southern Ireland, this is a gripping and compelling novel of lust, wealth and the abuse of power, populated by characters that will both fascinate and appal. You won't be able to put down this exciting page-turner. Richard – Book One: the first of a quartet.
Аннотация
Every age has its heroes, and its villains. Richard III, King of England (1483-1485) was a villain, a monster perhaps, but that's Shakespeare's version, sourced from documents which were either pro-Tudor or blatantly anti-York; the War of the Roses – The Continuation.<br><br>But, was he so very evil? Not according to a small group of enthusiastic individuals called Ricardians who seek to have the truth told. The central character of this work of fiction – Laura Kempe – is determined to undertake her own investigation, using a combination of common sense, instinct and more than a touch of ESP. She gets more than she bargains for however when she reaches for the ultimate prize; the truth about what happened to the "Princes in the Tower" and unwittingly unleashes a chain of events which threaten to destroy her and her travelling companions.<br><br>Witty, amusing and provocative, this is a story overflowing with little-known facts, bizarre encounters and finally, unremitting evil. A traveler's tale? Absolutely! But, be warned! For those who seek knowledge must come prepared, for often it seems that Truth is jealously guarded to the death, and sometimes beyond!<br><br>Reputed to be the most concise and historically accurate rendering of King Richard III yet set within the confines of an intelligently written, exciting and frequently amusing story line.
Аннотация
Adapted for the stage from the novel On the Trail of King Richard III by L.M. Ollie, this play deals with the consequences of obsession; the enemy of rational thought. The dinner brings together an eclectic ensemble of individuals including several members of the Richard III Society. Dedicated to an almost mythical image of this 15th century monarch, these individuals are forced to confront contentious issues never before discussed while mourning the passing, early that day, of one of their own. <br>The action takes place in the private functions room of the New Black Horse Inn, Market Bosworth on the eve of the anniversary of King Richard's death (August 22nd, 1485). Thirteen people sit down to dinner but only one of them is aware that one more guest from beyond the grave will very shortly be joining them.
