The tales are populated by people who have wronged the author at some point in his life. There's the company megalomaniac, who warrants two whole tales to himself.

The Percentages Men
ISBN: 9781491237625 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. THE PERCENTAGES MEN chronicles the rise and fall of a fictional market research agency based in the good City of Glasgow. Its central characters include a trio of the agency's directors. One is an alternately charming and frightening sociopath. One is a megalomaniac, a Scot with a Presbyterian work ethic, but with no morals to match. And the third is the money man, a silver-tongued liar and an abject coward. Into this mix comes a thinker, a tough, intelligent workaholic whose ideas and drive will propel the company to success. They are THE PERCENTAGES MEN. Percentages are their...

The Rebel's Daughter
ISBN: 9781534856806 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Helena Mary Bella Lane was born into the fledgling Irish Free State, a country that was recovering from the ravages of its recent War of Independence against Britain and its more recent and even bloodier Civil War; a country that existed in a state of Purgatory between complete British Rule and complete independence from that rule. Lena, as she was known, was also born into impoverishment. Her father, a broken war hero, preferred to wallow in drink rather than shoulder his family responsibilities. With her mother too ill to cope with the family's eight children, the twelve-year-old Lena, as...

The Burrymen War
ISBN: 9781475143973 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. No-one knows for sure when or why the Burryman ceremony in South Queensferry began, although many say it celebrates the granting to the town of Royal Burgh status by James VI in 1588. Whatever its origins, the ceremony was held every year for hundreds of years until it was suspended by the authorities after the gruesome and mysterious death of a participant in the 1990 ceremony. This is the story of the events surrounding that death. It is a story exposing the violence, bigotry and sectarianism that fester in the underbelly of small-town Scotland.

The Bookie's Runner
ISBN: 9781482038927 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Bob Dylan wrote the classic song "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and thereby unforgettably marked the passing of an otherwise insignificant character in the movie "Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid." Brendan Gisby has written this utterly beautiful novella to honour the short life of his father, a man of seemingly as little significance. The story is narrated with haunting subtlety, rhythm and depth of feeling by his teenage son as he takes a bus ride back to school for the first day of a new term, where he will have to announce his father's sudden death and deal with the resultant reactions without...

The Island of Whispers
ISBN: 9781481952484 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. RICHARD ADAMS meets GEORGE ORWELL in this story of a colony of rats living on an island under the world-famous Forth Rail Bridge. Ruled over by an Inner Circle of evil fat rats, and in fear for their lives, a group of lowly Watchers attempts to brave the stormy waters and scale the giant bridge in a bid for freedom. But celebrations for the bridge's centenary are about to begin... Will they make it? A story of oppression overcome, fierce loyalty, dreams and devastation. Grisly to the end, but with heart. You'll never look at those little islands in the same way again.
