FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- One Day as a Tiger by Alan Taylor Alan Taylor
This is a book that has everything. History, romance, mystery and a
sense of being in India during the end of the British Raj. Most of all
it is highly imaginative and extremely colourful. The descriptions of
places, of food, of customs and events is compelling. Spoilt and
inebriated Maharajas, snake charmers and mystic sadhus all add to the
appeal of an exceptional saga.
The introduction of an immoral
secret service agent and a god who is learning to be a deity - into the
cast of characters - is fascinating. No matter how much you liked all
the other books about India in the last few decades, I guarantee this
one will not disappoint.

And what of the conflict the Browne family endured as a divided family
in a divided city?
'The List' is a well-researched historical
fiction based on one of the great mysteries of the American Revolution.
An entertaining, enlightening read for all ages, Baker's novel tells the

This is the next book in John’s continuing decade long saga of adventure, travel, romance, business and sales across Africa.
Way before e-mails and noisy cell phones screwed with your mind.
He wrote one report a month, made no phone calls, made his own decisions,
got on with the job, and more.
Here he recounts how he felt; as he journeyed with his Ethiopian/Italian Lady
to some of those old places, where ‘that certain feeling’ somehow slowly seeps inside your mind.
John says it reminds him of his unexplainable feelings when he fell really, really, in love.
Ageless, virtual space linking through, into one’s feelings, way before we started using those two words, maybe, maybe.
Africa in the 1960’s was a continent newly ‘Freed from Colonialism.’ John was a white, British, expat., “An old Colonial.”
Designated
as ‘Market Manager, Africa,’ he traveled though some 20, out of the
then 42 African countries selling his UK company products.
This 2nd
book goes where few people have been privileged to go, deep into
Ethiopia , a country off the tourist map. John gives insights, shy of
modern political correctness, of how life was actually lived.
You smell the wind in his descriptions and acknowledge the truth of his experiences.

that. All Sloane had on his side was a vacationing political science
instructor, Freddie Falscape, and a finely honed tradecraft. Finally,
the woman was willing to help. Now is was a matter of time…

Sister Agnes is now, as Father Julius solemnly teases her, a ‘fully

smoothly with her final vows taken are soon proved incorrect.
Delighted
to have escaped the oppressive confines of life inside the convent,
Agnes is back in her own flat, working at the Order’s hostel for the
homeless. But before long things take a turn for the worse: a young and
vulnerable resident, Abbie, is found dead, and the fragile peace is
shattered. Though it looks like suicide, questions are raised about the
mysterious drug dealer Murchison’s influence over Abbie and the other
young hostel-dwellers. What, or who, pushed Abbie to end her life? As
increasingly sinister incidents unfold, the finger of blame seems to be
pointing right at Murchison.
But Agnes has more than that on her
mind. Forced to confront the foundations of her faith, she is plagued by
doubts planted by Abbie in their last conversation before she died –
did she become a nun to run away from real life? Whether she likes it or
not, real life soon catches up in the form of gentlemanly American
geologist Dr Bretton Laing bearing news of her long-dead father’s last
years.
She cannot run from her past for ever…
