Enclosed are one boy's tales of growing up in a tough working class neighbourhood in an industrial Tyneside town in the 1950s and 1960s. They are about real life and experience. However, the tales are also about truth, lies and betrayal. Comedy sits alongside pathos and tragedy, sometimes uncomfortably. They are fragments of the author's memories of those years but, quite possibly, they will also be part of the collective memory of other working class children of that era.

The Civil War novel Ragman's Roll takes readers back to that bitter period of American history, as two men enlist right after war breaks out. Will Wallace and Tom Jackson were aides and security agents for President Lincoln. After helping him win the presidency in 1860, they are now embarking on a new adventure, fending off death and the possible division of the union. Tom becomes a scout for Will, who rises in rank to become Union General W. H. L. Wallace. As the hero of two battles, Fort Donelson and Shiloh, Wallace was responsible for saving Grant's army at the Battle of Shiloh, despite being fatally injured on the battlefield. A secondary plot focuses on the dreams of General Wallace as he lay dying from his wounds. A vision appears to him, reminding of him of the true reason for his sacrifice: to ensure the end of slavery and preserve democracy.

Follow the mischievous and hilarious adventures of four grammar school–age boys growing up in the late 1920s. The good, not-so-good, and hilarious situations the four boys became involved in on a day-to-day basis are insights into what city boys did to keep themselves busy during school days, after school was out for the summer and on weekends in Berwyn, Illinois. Lacking the many entertainment forms of modern society, the young boys of the late 1920s spent much of their time roaming the city streets and parks, riding the elevated train, finding other forms of entertainment, and sometimes seeking scary adventures.

'Before Benny, nobody from the Gorbals became World Champion of anything...' Benny Lynch was Scotland's first World Boxing Champion and the most talked-about British sportsman of his generation. In fact, many consider him to be the finest fighter the country has ever produced. Benny is the amazing account of how Lynch battled his way above and beyond the 'fifty-shilling men' of his home town of Glasgow to become the champion of Scotland, Britain, Europe and the world, earning a reputation as one of the greatest pugilists of all time. But this absorbing biography also details how his career sadly came to a premature halt because of Lynch's alcoholism, which destroyed his health and led to him being abandoned by his countless followers. It took his tragic death at the age of only 33 to restore the fallen idol to legendary status again. The gritty reality of the daily grind of life in the Depression-era Gorbals is captured vividly in this remarkable story of the rise and tragic fall of a fighting legend.
