The Minotaur’s Son & other wild tales by Kevin Ansbro

Author: Kevin Ansbro
Release Date:  Sept 2019
Format:
Paperback 
ISBN:
978-1-913071-31-8
RRP:
£8.99 

“Once the evening’s entertainment was over the Minotaur, as naked as Nature intended, clumped into Pablo Zapata’s bar…”
A baby with a passion for theoretical physics…
A winged nymph who exacts terrible revenge…
A stolen coin that releases a wish-granting genie…
And where else would you see Ginger Rogers learning the Ali shuffle, or a humble fisherman making friends with Poseidon?
Charlatans and shapeshifters, lovers and leprechauns, ghosts and office creeps are just some of the characters that Kevin Ansbro brings to life in this volume of short stories. His tales span the globe and range from the wickedly funny to the sad and deeply unnerving.
“Every time Kevin writes a new book I know I have a good reason to celebrate. Totally absorbing, hilariously funny and profoundly moving – this is an author you shouldn’t miss.”

Waking Up: Life on a small, ‘humane’ farm by Vicky Hamill

Author: Vicky Hamill
Release Date:  Dec 2019
Format:
Paperback 
ISBN:
978-1-913071-42-4
RRP:
£5.99 

You cannot carry passengers on a smallholding. This is what I had been told. I didn’t like it but I believed it to be true. Everything has to earn its keep.
Be strong.
Onion had his head chopped off… we ate him.
Vicky Hamill’s childhood love of animals inspired her move to a smallholding in the wilds of Orkney. Initially she had some chickens and a goat but, unable to refuse any animal that needed her help, she quickly found herself tending a motley collection of sheep, cows, goats and geese on her small ‘humane’ farm.
But farm animals have a defined life cycle. In this memoir, Vicky recounts the conflict between her attachment to her animals and the demands of farming. She vividly recalls the joys of feeding newborn lambs and the despair of killing them, joyous and heart- breaking moments that eventually led her to quit the farm and become a vegan.
Exquisitely narrated and deeply moving, this is a book for anyone who questions the morality of the food on their plate. It doesn’t preach but it convincingly tells the story of one woman’s journey towards awareness.
I finally feel like I’m being true to who I am, true to the person I was born to be. I’m living my values. I can, without fear of judgement, love and respect every living thing that has evolved on this planet, living, sentient beings that are here with me, not for me.
