A Kiss Under A Kalkan Sunset
A history of bad marriages and relationships can cause barriers to be raised when meeting a member of the opposite sex. Sometimes the ideal partner could be knocking at the door but past mistakes can cause blurred vision and deaf ears to the well-intended gestures of a genuine suitor. Opening up to someone new is difficult when dark shadows of the past hover nearby. Can trust ever be given again to someone new? Wonderful opportunities can arise out of some unexpected situations, and we must be ready to seize upon every one of them but we must also be aware of wolves in sheep’s clothing. True love has a way of finding you, and if you are open to it, you will never look back and will banish the demons of the past forever. They say, “Never judge a book by its cover,” and maybe we shouldn’t judge new potential happiness by a former lover.

A Life of Breath
Jamie is a respiratory doctor working on the front line. After 12 months without catching the illness himself, he finally gets infected from an unlikely source.
He struggles to come to terms with his own first experiences of the breathlessness that has been the focus of his working life. He also has to reflect on his own potential mortality. Neither are a comfortable ride.
He has had a hugely successful 35-year career, which has taken him to the very top of his specialist field. At the same time, we meet the shy, gauche, and naïve first year doctor, who could never imagine, the achievements ahead. We read the disastrous, humorous, and unbelievable escapades, which mould his career, whilst realising that a successful personal life does not necessarily match, that of the career
The author believes the public has fallen out of love with their medical professionals and in writing this part biography, part fictional account of one doctor’s story, he hopes to put this right. You should laugh, cry and cringe in approximately equal doses, but you might not be able to look your own doctor squarely in the eye, with quite the same perspective, again.
