As with many serious problems involving any given topic, we are more prone to listen to as well as heed advice given by someone who has also experienced the same problem we are enduring and who overcame it through specific methods.

Marwane Caber clearly demonstrates the depths of his experience and knowledge in his depression memoir The Past, and he presents the information with succinct simplicity in a relatively short book.

One of the hallmark characteristics of depression is the inability to focus and analyze information for long periods of time. The ability to learn and absorb complicated lessons while battling depression can also be problematic, so the Author wants his experience of dealing with depression and his eventual recovery to be as easy to understand as possible – even for those who are drowning in the darkest depths of depression as they read the book.

Author Bio:
Hard-working sociologist Marwane Caber has devoted a great deal of his life to analyzing human behavior and the human mind. As well as identifying as a philosopher and possessing a great deal of experience with both qualitative and quantitative sociological research, he has a Master’s degree in statistics. However, he does not spend all of his time on his work. He is also a family man, chess master, and “book nerd,” consuming a variety of literature in multiple languages. Additionally, he enjoys helping the general public by participating in philanthropic activities, and educating others by delivering public speeches.

About the book:
This newly expanded edition of AFN Clarke’s best selling and controversial memoir CONTACT is a raw, visceral, “no-holds-barred” account of combat from one of the men we paid to kill. When first published it caused a furore for its devastating honesty and chilling revelations. Clarke takes us into the private world of soldiers operating under extreme stress and living each day with their senses on high alert. Where the enemy wears no uniform and shoots from the shadows, and the bomber’s trip-wire is an ever-present nightmare. We experience their emotions, fear, courage, humour, bravado and the anguish of death.

In this powerful classic, Clarke vividly recounts his experiences of two tours in Northern Ireland (in Belfast and Crossmaglen) as a Platoon Commander with Britain’s elite Parachute Regiment during the blood soaked 1970’s. The dangers, political agendas and religious roots underlying the conflict are eerily and heartbreakingly similar to Iraq and Afghanistan today, where soldiers are ordered to hold the lines in an ancient quarrel they have little affinity for, but whose consequences are deadly.

This expanded edition includes a section omitted by the publisher from the original book, where Clarke reveals what it was like to be in his twenties, go to hell and come back having nearly died with half his insides missing, suffering from PTSD and being expected to return to a “normal life”. It’s a story of the scars of war that affect generations on all sides of a conflict. Of heartache, courage and hope for peace. (Available as an ebook and paperback.)

“Captain Clarke is more than a serving solder, he is a writer of distinction.” Jack Gerson, Glasgow Sunday Standard.
“Contact is the work of a brave writer.” Kevin Toolis, Irish News.
“As a civilian it’s hard to imagine what’s it’s really like in combat but this book opened my eyes. I highly recommend it …” KT Huffy, USA.

CONTACT was serialized by The Mirror in the UK, became an instant best seller and was made into an award-winning BBC TV film directed by the renown Alan Clarke (no relation to the author). AFN Clarke has since written 7 works of fiction that have captured the imagination of readers world wide.

An artist’s muse does more than merely inspire…
An idyllic country retreat harbors diabolical dangers…
A simple railway station shopkeeper has a peculiar and sinister talent…
A dolphin-watching tour takes a surreal turn…

These and many other short stories and poems from 17 Antipodean authors will disturb and unsettle. Featuring a foreword from internationally bestselling fantasy author Ian Irvine.

Author Bio:
John was born on October 14th 1940, in a working class suburb of Lower Hutt in New Zealand. Life as an only child was often lonely, more especially for a “fat kid” with no father. In spite of close family ties and an encouraging mother.

It was a conventional childhood and adolescence, with all the usual desperate issues associated with a post-war, testosterone-loaded young man. Girls, drinking, cars…nothing changes. Working at 15 years old with no academic qualifications meant limited career options, and eventually, after an early unsuccessful marriage, the lure of Australia drew him to that marvelous country. There, on a working holiday that lasted 28 years, he drifted like a leaf on a fickle breeze. He saw a lot of the Outback from the seat of a motorcycle or from behind the wheel of an old 4WD Nissan Patrol, accompanied for twelve of those years by his beloved dog/companion, Mr. Mo.

He worked at employment as he found it—selling cars, cooking, crewing on cruising yachts, managing businesses, farming and even a brief stint in Papua New Guinea operating a jungle resort. After a return to New Zealand in 1996, and the cold realisation that at 56 years of age he was unemployable, he began to write. First there was love poetry, then, as time dribbled by, he began to take a retrospective look at his own life. Since meeting up with an English-born woman from Greece on the Internet eleven years ago, he has been writing short stories as well.

They now share an idyllic lifestyle on New Zealand’s picturesque Coromandel Peninsula, living in a small rural community surrounded by hills and the ocean.

He hopes to die peacefully one day without warning and minimal leakage.

SPEED TRAP is one good cop versus a whole town of bad cops.

SPEED TRAP is set in a small south Georgia town in 1959, a place you can’t avoid on your long road trip to Florida, and you’d better hope you only get a ticket when you get pulled over.

SPEED TRAP introduces Special Agent Cal Bocock, a handsome young investigator handpicked by the Governor of Georgia to bring down small town tyrant Earl “Boss” Griffin and his corrupt cops and gang of henchmen.

SPEED TRAP features Fancy Fontaine, a beautiful and mysterious lady in black who initially enchants Bocock at the funeral of a murder victim.

A veteran book editor calls SPEED TRAP a “suspenseful Southern gothic.” A prolific author says Joey Ledford’s “characters are vivid and powerful, and his plot is thoroughly believable and fast paced.”

About the Author
Born in Bryan, TX. I’ve been a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy genre since my mom took me to see The Empire Strikes Back, Dragon Slayer, Krull and many others. While I’ve always been a good story teller I’m new to putting it in writing. George R.R. Martin has been a huge influence on me (though it’s my intent to take 10 winters to finish a single book – zing*) and I love his writing style.
