However, no door that is opened is ever truly shut, as the emergence of a savage and brutal race of beings known as the Einheri push humanity and its allies to the very brink of extinction. In a new age of dimensional warfare and higher understanding of the cosmological structure on which all universes reside, a vergence will emerge to address this imbalance. Bringing about the long foretold symmetry of sentience! Fighting for the salvation of the human race will the Inter Galactic Vessel Soloveiko and her crew be able to hold off the fast encroaching darkness that threatens to extinguish the light of hope that once shone so brightly?
Humanity’s Dawn: Compassion’s Cry (Book 1)
By Martin Rowe
Art by Julia Aliper
The year is 4545 and humanity has now colonised and reached the farthest points of their known universe’s boundaries, which has revealed a shocking truth nobody was prepared to confront!
Setting out as inquisitive children in their exploration of the cosmos they had unexpectedly finished this journey as gods, uniquely sentient in the marvel of their own existence, they had found their universe to be devoid of any other intelligent life and a creator.
As the Galactic Union of Planets and its people struggle to find further purpose, infighting amongst its factions begins to break out. In the wake of this chaos, dark and sinister forces begin to rise, claiming the opportunistic spoils for themselves by seeking to destabilise the Galactic balance of power and politics.
Meanwhile, Captain Rex Stormont and his crew aboard the Inter Galactic Vessel Bonitas speed towards a distress call emanating from a deep space research station that has come under attack from an unknown aggressor.
As they begin their investigation of the events surrounding this unexpected and uncharacteristic attack they unwittingly set into motion a chain of events that will change humanity’s very understanding of their own existence and the place they occupy within it.
The deeper Rex and his team go, the more mysterious this strange sequence of events surrounding the M104 Ultra-Massive black hole at the heart of the Sombrero Galaxy become.
Are these ominous omens something that humankind should fear? Or are they the first steps towards heralding in the much-needed next golden era of humanity?

THE FARSLEY MURDERS
By Richard M. Jones
In the early hours of Sunday 15th February 1970, the quiet town of Farsley was shocked by the double murder of a police officer and a night watchman during a failed robbery. What followed was a huge manhunt across two counties that led to a career criminal who had led a life of violence from an early age. Now, over five decades since those fatal shots, we go back to the scene of the massive police operation to track down a killer and hear just how one mindless act of murder left two families devastated. With eyewitness accounts from the people who were there and the families of the victims, we can now tell the story of The Farsley Murders.
The Farsley Murders is also available via Amazon in paperback.

TIMELESS COLOURING: WHISPERS OF NATURE
Written and illustrated by Elisha Stratta
Sometimes our minds can work against us, instead of with us. Talking from experience, you have the ability to balance your mind and create a new way of living without limitations. You are capable of so much more than you can ever imagine and it is definitely easier than you think it will be.
These drawings are a part of my journey that are inspired by the connection that we all share to nature, believing that nature will speak to us if we learn to listen. I have created space for you to come with an open mind and release your emotions, replacing this with positive affirmations encouraging your subconscious to relearn a new way of being.

LIVING THE DREAM, SERVING THE QUEEN
A collection of Royal Navy memories from post-war Britain to modern day sailors. Collated by Richard M. Jones
For over 400 years the Royal Navy has been the pride of the British Isles, but it wouldn’t be the organisation it is today without the people who make up the crews of these ships and establishments.
Here is a collection of over a dozen stories from people who have served their time in the Royal Navy and now recollect their experiences serving their country in the senior service. From the 1950s boy sailor to the sailors who currently serve, we read about the runs ashore, the lifelong friendships, the funny stories, near incidents and the ships they served on.
- What happened in New York harbour when a boat was taking crew to shore?
- Who caused a huge tailback of traffic outside Faslane naval base?
- What did Prince Philip whisper to a Chief Petty Officer during an inspection?
- Which submariner saved a man from certain death from electrocution only to be snubbed later?
These stories plus much more will help the reader understand why matelots, when asked how they are, reply with, “I’m living the dream, serving the Queen!”
Living the Dream, Serving the Queen is also available via Amazon.
TALES FROM OUR LIVING ROOM: THE CHILDREN’S ISOLATION BOOK PROJECT
Written by the children of Hampshire, compiled by Juliette Jones
In early 2020 the world as we all knew it changed.
As a home schooling Mum, I really felt for my friends and family who were suddenly thrust into this world, with no choice or preparation. The idea for this book came about as an activity for the children, something to occupy their minds and continue their literary development while schools put something together.
I very quickly realised that this wasn’t just about keeping up their literacy and creativity. Our amazing children were the ones keeping us going, showing positivity, resilience and compassion.
So, this book is a celebration of how incredible our next generation are, and how their imagination and love for life helped us grown ups get through one of history’s most challenging periods.
Thank you!
All profits from the sale of this book will be donated to Reading Force, supporting forces families through reading.

THE BURTON AGNES DISASTER
by Richard M. Jones

The scene was set for a terrible tragedy – one which was largely forgotten, until author Richard M Jones began to investigate the story 60 years later.
