        Without A Song

        The expatriate exserviceman living in Saudi Arabia.

        by John Hackett (Rhiw Sider)

        Without A Song is a romance, from a guys point of view. Witty and light-hearted it is written is the first person POV. Never did I ever want to be a soldier, yet it is in the company of these men and women that I have spent much of my life. The news of my wife's infidelity nearly kills me and it is Nicole who nurses me back to health. My name is Stephen Bannister and I’m in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on contract when I find out about my wife's affairs. One thing leads to another and I knock myself out in a swimming pool only to be rescued and nursed back to health by Nicole Lyons during which time I learn of her fight with Lymphangioleiomyomatosis, a rare disease that only kills women. Now, on the wrong side of an impending divorce I head back to England to try and salvage my marriage but the journey only affirms his wife's decision for divorce and in so doing I learn a lot about myself. Old friends rally round but it is my love for a much younger woman that draws me back to Kingdom, to ask Nicole to marry me. Without A Song is not only a romance and a travelogue but it offers an insight into the life of the expatriate exserviceman who is extending his career by working for the Saudi Riyal. Ideally suited to a life of travel I travel the world until I get to Saudi Arabia. In the book we meet friends and lovers, we share good times and not so good times. I'm English by birth, I've got Australian citizenship and for most of my life I have taken my pick-axe and my can-do attitude across the globe. Welcome to my world.

        The Game Master

        by Ian D Copsey

        What is it like to be someone else – especially your most hated enemy? Why do they think and do things differently?    Tired of arguing over which of them was the best gamer, Josh and Alex stumbled upon a new video game shop, run by an enigmatic and amiable Japanese shopkeeper. He was to be their Game Master in this virtual reality video game that had no game controls. Little did they know it was a game that would change their lives, of their friends… and enemies… forever.    “Oh! This game is no ordinary game,” The Game Master explained, “It reads your thoughts, seeks out your weaknesses to give challenges that are right just for you, the challenges you need to help you grow.”   "It can read our minds?" puzzled the boys. As they progressed through the game’s levels they found out more about themselves and the lives of everyone around them. Mysteriously, the Game of Life began to spread its influence beyond Josh and Alex’s lives and to their friends.    From Josh and Alex switching roles with each other in the game, campfire frolics and ghostly stories from their teachers, the boys learned more about their friends around them. The Game Master’s zany antics as he hosted a T.V. game show, “Hiro’s Happy Heroes” in the Game of Life, released a string of rib tickling gags, teases and tantalising tattles.   The climax of the Game of Life came from the school Rube Goldberg challenge in which each grade had to join as a team to build their own whacky, madcap contraption. Would Josh and Alex be able to manage to get the two bullies in the class to work within the team?   Patiently, with impish humour, the Game Master guides them through the different levels to a final intriguing twist.
