The Jack the Ripper murders of 1888 continue to exert a macabre hold on our imagination. Among the first serial murders, their brutality and bizarreness, and the seeming impossibility of detection have a terrible fascination. What kind of person could have performed such horrific deeds, and could have overstepped the boundary of what marks humankind? How could they not have been caught by the unprecedented police effort? The murders were reported on around the world and the murderer was the first to be given a macabre nickname. He has been the subject of hundreds of books and several films but his identity remains a mystery. Suspects have included the eminent Victorian doctor Sir William Gull, royal gynecologist Sir John Williams and the painter Walter Sickert. Conspiracy theories abound, involving Masonic, Jewish and other connections. This is the story of the extensive research of John Morris and his late father. Starting with the many unresolved questions about the murders they shockingly concluded that they could be answered if Jack was in reality a woman, not a man. But who could she be? After many twists and turns they reach an all too plausible conclusion

When a top undercover agent working in Syria on Friday, turns up dead in Norfolk on Monday, Dan Glover of MI6 goes to investigate.

They become lovers, but can their relationship withstand the rigorous call of duty?Their romance seems destined to fail, as Muslims take over towns and villages, altering the ethnic, but not the political make-up of councils. O)nce in majority, should they cross the floor, war with ISIL on British soil, becomes inevitable.Interspersed with romantic interludes, Islamic State: England, details how religious fanatics could take over England, and Europe.The plot twists and turns, as greater discoveries are made. Those in positions of power refuse to take pre-emptive action, by which time it is too late.

Who are you in your heart? Who will you become? Who will travel with you as your boon companion?Shona Waverly is a fugitive from her mothers plans to sell her as a child sex slave. Searching for her own Inner Sanctum, she creates a family. Rosa becomes the mother of her heart, who teaches her the skills she needs to survive. Annaliese, a fellow seeker, is the sister who will fight at her side. Teves is their guardian. Through a change of identity, participation in the ROTC program, and the backlash of revenge, Shona and Annaliese have an opportunity to evaluate their roots and come to terms with the parents who should have guided them.Inner Sanctum offers hope, help, and a model for those who struggle to raise themselves. Through confidential sharing, the girls form a formidable team, fighting against past and present injustices. Death, revenge, and remorse are just some of the milestones they encounter.When Shona, now known as April, realizes that for her life to move on, she must confront her mother, Annaliese has words of advice."April, you dont need a gun to go see your mother.""Hmmm. Maybe I do."It is refreshing to read a book where the two main characters are strong female role models, and the main topic of conversation is not which boy they like. Although products of adversity, they never back down from any challenge, but rise to overcome everything the brutality life throws at them. It is notable that the supporting male characters never once take precedence; this remains the story of two adolescent girls from front to back cover.Although categorized as Young Adult, Urban Fiction, the strength of the book, will appeal to a wide range of readers, both male and female.The book flows seamlessly into Conspiracy Theory, the second book of the Fractured series. Book Two is a fast-paced mystery and espionage thriller, again featuring April and Annaliese as the main characters.

The first trilogy of Star Gazer follows the life of Jack Barleycorn, as told to his grandchildren. It is set in the contemporary world of today, circa 2010. Jack is confident, self-assured, but speaks his mind, and loses yet another job. This is the point at which we pick up the saga of his life.An accomplished yachtsman, Jack leaves his known life behind and creates a new future as an international boat consultant based in the Orient. On a journey, disaster strikes and he is left floating at the mercy of savage seas. Hallucinating, but guided by a voice, he shambles ashore more dead than alive, upon an uncharted South Pacific island.It is inhabited by people, but not by homo sapiens.The islanders have a Stone Age culture, yet use extremely advanced technology to shield the island from discovery, a legacy left behind by an alien race called The Ancestors. Later, Jack discovers other branches of the human line also survive, although we know of these through myth and legend as Elves, Dwarves, and Ogres.A series of discoveries irrevocably alter Jacks life, as the trilogy leads us to discover the real reason why we exist. Catastrophe Theory, Darwinism, and religious dogma are dismissed, and a new truth offers an alternative explanation to our human evolution.As the extraordinary tale unwinds, we are led to examine our most fundamental assumptions about humanity: who we are, where we came from, and perhaps more importantly, where we are headed.This unabridged, second edition of Star Gazer Book One, adds substantially to the first edition. It now includes new, entertaining, and enticing initial chapters that introduce Jack and important characters. The castaway scenes, once precised, return to fuller length, and revised final chapters enhance dramatic impact. These changes encourage the reader to easily become lost within this most fascinating tale.

Imagine, the world Jack was born into, no longer exists.Faced with the utter destruction of all life on Earth, can our heroes survive? The Great Ogre continues to wage war against all the other Tribes, confounding chances of survival, when the primordial forces of Mother Earth are unleashed upon a mainly unsuspecting human nature.The Wrath of Gaia depicts a vision of the end of the world, completely original, entirely believable, and based in geological evidence.Amid fast-paced, spicy action, survivors struggle with their daily existence, displaying humour, and they are also led to question their deepest beliefs: Are religions innately misogynistic? What of the balance between Man the sustainer and Woman the creator of life? What greater evil, was evoked in the concept of original sin?What is the nature of Goda deity, or was humanity created by an Alien race that came to Earth millions of years ago? That hypothesis, as presented in this book, is difficult to refute. Humanity has no common antecedent with the Great Apes. Did a race of star faring Ancestors create the missing linkcreate us? What is the elusive kernel of original truth when it comes to our shared Humanity? What ties us together might also wrench us apart.Once we know where we came from,Once we know who we are,How will we discover where we are ultimately going: Star Gazer, Second TrilogyIn The Gatekeeper and the Guardian, Jack crashed into the ocean and was washed ashore, half dead, on an uncharted South Pacific island in August 2010. There he discovered an impossibly advanced science, operated by a stone-age culture, one that had lost the use of fire and the wheel. The first person he met was Jien Noi, (Jinnie), the Empress Elect of homo erectus colony. She also held the position of Gatekeeper.His best friend to be, nGnung, is one with whom he shares a brotherly understanding. Jack marries Jien Noi, and nGnung is forever by his side. With others, they defeat an Ogre invasion at the end of Book One, but the threat posed by the Great Ogre, a menacing despot who demands all sentient life on Gaia bow to him, or be exterminated.The Twelve Tribes introduced Kay (lkrleinnoire), or Dark Elf, and Owain, King of the Dwarves (Ddwyrth, or Neanderthals). This book revolved around returning all Twelve Tribes to the fold of known humanity. Wars with the Great Ogre ensued, ending with the emancipation of the Trolls, and all Twelve Tribes standing together.The message, or fundamental question posed by the trilogy begins to assert itself: Does God exist, or were we created by a race of Aliens?At the end of Book Two, we learn of a retaliatory nuclear strike on the Iranian Bushehr power plant. The bomb exploded inside a previously unknown nuclear missile silo and storage facility, the fallout from which is still unclear. What is known is that the entire Arabian Plate has subsequently been destabilised.This book has three distinct parts: The Wrath of Gaia. Discoveries and full Aftermath begins on Page 77, Chapter 12. Final battles with The Great Ogre.As a volume, it reads concurrently.The main point of this trilogy is centred around Chapter 17, but is supported by all three books in this, the first trilogy of Star Gazer.We examine and question the origin of species homo sapiens, and the existence of God. The author, acting as agent provocateur, proposes an alternative theory for the...

Long Description:Conspiracy Theory, Book Two of the Fractured series, is a mystery and espionage thriller that continues the story of April Bekkons and Annaliese Braun; damaged, but not broken by events no young girl should have knowledge of. They raise themselves to do what is necessary to save themselves, others, and eventually their country, from destruction.The book picks up directly from the last line of Inner Sanctum, and introduces Michael. From the apparent ramblings of this crazy man, the plot coalesces to bring in the Sheriffs department and FBI, who with support of the Secret Service, set up a task force to track the threat nationwide. They discover a terrorist plot to destroy the American system of government, and have to prevent the immanent launch of undetectable, nuclear missiles.The science described in the story is real and documented within the context of the novel. Using a series of bizarre localized disasters, real military science, and a nefarious cabal that links them together, the plot weaves a tale of conspiracy theory made real. It just might come true.The book features strong female lead in the form of April, who when all appears lost, allows nothing and no one to stand in her way. Using Kung Fu skills, computer hacking, and wisdom beyond her years, she is determined to save the day.The book is set in contemporary San Diego, and is written in American English.

Dare any mortal enter the dystopian world of modern children?Since Dickensian times, no author has conceived so damning a commentary, concerning contemporary childcare.Domicile is a place one must reside by enforced law.This book is based entirely upon known fact.Written through the eyes of a young girl who endured years of horrific abuse, Domicile exposes a British care system hell-bent on destroying normal, loving families.Or is there another, more sinister motivation? Family Court must balance social worker claims of possible, future emotional abuse, against the foreknown emotion abuse of a child being taken into Care.The book asks if in law, there should be Degrees of Rape. It proposes the level of intent of both parties be taken into consideration, and that anonymity for both be the norm until conviction.But what sets this book apart, is that it follows the money trail, something police and press failed to do. Those in positions of deepest trust, and a Duty of Care, sold themselves out for money running into tens of millions of pounds. It is but a small step to conclude British judges and barristers, Social Services, Police, and Local Authority, are also an integral part of this travesty of justice.The Muslims in Rotherham were also making Millions of pounds p.a. in untaxed, used notes. The figures are in the public domain, but nobody bothered to do the maths.This book does.What ifone of these girls was your own daughter, legally abducted:10-years old, and already an unpaid Muslim sex slave?Profits from sales of this book will go to charities supporting similarly abused children, including those in the British Pakistani Muslim community.

The Twelve Tribes continues the compelling story of Jacks life, which becomes an emotional roller-coaster ride. The boisterous Dwarves add fun, the Giants melancholy, and others, laughter or tears. The highs and lows of human emotions are exposed by the Trolls.The beginning introduces several new characters, most notably Kay, The Dark Elf. She and Jack discover much about the Ancestors, their spacecraft, and the history of all humanity.We learn the Ancestors created the Twelve Tribes of humanity in their own image, by cloning and manipulating their own DNA, and that of existing proto-human, homo habilis, and creating their first prototype, homo ergaster.The Shaman, an enlightened being, becomes more closely interwoven within the plot, as The Elven Prophesy indicates all Twelve Tribes must be reunited to save humanity from The Wrath of Gaia. The problem being, The Great Ogre, despotic Overlord of the Tenth Tribe, is determined to subjugate or exterminate all sentient life on planet Earth, and a series of battles ensues.

Is Dai Morris a brutal murderer or the victim of a terrible miscarriage of justice? Author and former solicitor John Morris investigates the Clydach murders, which occurred in 1999, for which Dai Morris was convicted in 2006. In a case which shocked the country Mandy Power, her bed-ridden mother and her two young daughters were battered to death. The crime sparked a huge investigation yet the police made little progress. This widely researched book contends that Morris, convicted for the murders in 2006, is a scapegoat, an innocent man against whom justice was miscarried. No forensic evidence or DNA connected him to the crime; he was convicted because he lacked of a solid alibi, because his gold chain was found in Powers house and because, as a man with a criminal record, he initially lied to the police. Morriss case is to be heard in the Court of Appeal, probably in 2018, in the light of new evidence, including DNA testing and falsification of police documents. South Wales Police was notorious in the period 1980 to 2010 for false convictions on fabricated evidence. Significantly, previous suspects for the Clydach murders include former police officers, one of whom was having a lesbian affair with Mandy Power. There is every possibility that Dai Morris has suffered a miscarriage of justice. The author studied the police files and court papers, and discussed the case with key witnesses and experts. He is convinced that Morris is the victim of a conspiracy to falsely convict. The brutal murder of an entire family is a horrible thing but to compound it with an unsafe conviction shows a disrespect to the victims, to their relatives, to the family of Dai Morris and to the law. This new edition includes a short Postcript of new evidence generated by the original book, which casts even further doubt on the safety of the conviction of Dai Morris.

If God exists, does he care about his evolving, suffering world? Most answers are unsatisfactory. Morriss book is different: short but not superficial, strong in its science and philosophy, and realistic as a carer of a handicapped teenage grandson, still unable to walk and talk. Like Stephen Hawking and Einstein, John Morris also tries to explore the mind of God. Violence began with the Big Bang, long before legendary Adams sin. Morris believes God is typically non-interventionist but constantly interactive, operating creatively within his own physical laws, that allow freedom to particles and people, resulting in innovations and mutations, not always beneficial. Compared with other religions, Christs cross and resurrection give more historic hope in a God who suffers alongside us, to create good, responsible persons. Here is a 100-minute read, of interest to believers and atheists alike. Its brave conclusion gives reasonable grounds for thinking we live in a loving Gods best possible world, despite unavoidable suffering and natural disasters.

Unlike Richard Dawkins, the Revised Edition, Contemporary Creed sees no conflict between evolution and God, faith and modern science. But what sort of God creates a violent universe with a Big Bang almost 14 billion years ago and appears to do little or nothing to prevent built-in suffering and natural disasters like earthquakes, famines, disabled children and cancers? The Christian God leaves a lot unexplained! Some writers give superficial answers whereas Morris -- who helps care for his own handicapped grandson -- gets to the root of difficulties and succeeds in finding credible pathways through sixty problems of Christian beliefs and ethics. He writes for believers and unbelievers: for Christians like himself who admit their doubts, and for atheists and agnostics interested in lifes big questions. His unusual format of 90% prose and 10% original poetry is entertaining, and the style straightforward everyday language, offering conclusions that are often open-ended, undogmatic. His systematic theology becomes a brief A-Z that may be read in any order for individual Bible study, or by house groups that want a provocative structure for lively discussion.
