Opis: When you’ve written a book you want to see it in print. You want people to read and enjoy it. The only thing standing in your way is the publishing industry which rejects 98% of the manuscripts submitted to it. Why not skip months of collecting rejections from publishers and simply join them at their own game? Anyone can publish their own book, and the cost can be as little as zero. Stewart Ferris created the UK’s first self-publishing agency in 1993 with Alastair Williams, offering authors all the services and advice they needed to convert their manuscripts into printed books and to get those books selling in the bookshops. In this easy-to-use book he explains everything you need to know to be able to publish and sell your own book, whether in printed form or on-line as an ‘eBook’.

Opis: For generations of Britons, Singapore was the international crossroads of the Empire, the ultimate colonial posting, the stimulus for writers such as Joseph Conrad, Somerset Maugham or Noel Coward. Can today’s hightech 24-hour city with its gleaming skyscrapers and high standard of living provide a similar kind of inspiration to a visitor? John Malathronas penetrates the Oriental psyche and discovers the hustle among the stuffiness, the thrill behind the Confucian ethic and, ultimately, the joie de vivre in what has been unjustly dismissed as “a shopping mall with UN representation”. Still more importantly, during his quest, he realises that this overcrowded, multicultural, multifaith city-state can teach us a lesson about living together in harmony and with mutual respect.

Opis: Everything That Happens to Me is Good is a distillation of thoughts, experiences and hard won philosophy on living and dying, change, challenge, motivation and a whole lot more. A collection of insightful, moving and often provocative musings that will change the way you view your world. What makes this book refreshingly unique is that Geoff is a living embodiment of everything he writes. He discusses depression, because he has successfully overcome crippling depression, he writes about fear because he has made a career out of confronting and overcoming his own demons, similarly he writes about thinking impossible things, because he is in the habit of manifesting the seemingly impossible into his life.
