    The Book of the Common Lot is set in 1908, in the Yorkshire town of Rookstone. Young clerk Anne discovers that the old ledger left by her father allows her to temporarily bear another's pain - and to trace who has secretly been shifting their suffering onto others. She believes this power will help her keep her job and save the workers, only to realise, piece by piece, that the mutual aid society, the factory, and the state itself all tally human fates in the name of "fairness." As Anne and journalist Will investigate side by side - caught between love, power, and sacrifice - she forces everyone to publicly confess a truth that cannot be undone: No one bears winter alone. What one bears, all shall know.

    *A band on the run. Two souls lost between back roads, borrowed stages, and songs that seem to know them better than they know themselves.* A boy survives a killing, and a knife changes everything. Kid spends his life chasing freedom through every woman, every highway, every late-night song-believing love might finally quiet the voices inside him. Midnight whispers: *Leave. Be free.* Dawn answers: *Stay. Be known.* He wants both. He loses both. Chance only falls in love once, and it destroys him. He disappears into the road, the music, and the spaces between towns, trying to become something strong enough to survive the wreckage. But when their paths collide, love becomes heavier than desire. It becomes a cost neither man is ready to pay. Because on these roads, freedom never comes clean-and staying always asks for a piece of your soul. *The Dead Cowboys* is a slow-burn modern western blending magical realism, found family, ancestral myth, and the melancholy atmosphere of late-night Americana. For readers who love emotional healing dramas, lonely highways, music mythology, and stories that ache long after the last page. #slowburn #foundfamily #magicalrealism #music #americana #roadtrip #melancholy #characterdriven > "Some men learn. The rest become The Dead Cowboys."

    **THIS BOOK CONTAINS LANGUAGE AND SCENES THAT SOME MAY FIND OFFENSIVE!** Graydens/The Tedious Life Of Ashley Astley was a book I had originally started during lockdown. Originally supposed to be a diary based on the peculiar, socially deficit 12/13 year old girl Ashley/Ash I had then got carried away and produced both first and third person accounts of the goings on - this however got too repetitive as I was basically repeating the same thing but in different perspectives. So now the story is split into two books: the original idea 'The Tedious Life Of Ashley Astley' and now 'Graydens' (the fictional school in which Ashley attends) which still has a basis around Ashley (in it's 3rd person perspective) also describes the goings on of the students and even some of the teachers in the shabby dysfunctional school based somewhere in the south east of England (bordering London) however never specified exactly where. Unfortunately many of the early chapters had been corrupted and so I have to rewrite them both in Graydens and TTLOAA. Fortunately some of the chapters are either fully intact or have partial snippets of the story/stories which I shall add whilst I rewrite the rest. This book is continuous and so 3 or so years later I'm still writing on and off. I have no idea when this will be finished or if it will be finished. Likely these stories will be a series in the foreseeable future... Although this is my first story I'll publish here, it isn't my first overall. I have written many stories since I was a child/teen (pencil/pen and paper) These are when I decided to pick up my virtual pen and start writing again now as an young adult.

    "The Reality of the Poor Man"** is a 40-stanza narrative poem told through the daily life of a father living in poverty. Each stanza moves through a different facet of his experience - waking before dawn, worn-out shoes, leaking roofs, hunger, his wife's quiet sacrifices, his children's unanswered questions, rejection, illness, aging, and small moments of joy and kindness. It builds toward a closing message: that poverty isn't a mark of weakness or laziness, but a daily test of endurance, dignity, and love that deserves respect rather than judgment.

    Here is a story about two parallel lines, lines that aren't supposed to meet but somehow intertwined... The lights at the pier were beautiful, they had magical pink & purple glows. I felt like I somehow was in Euphoria. The feeling of the bright lights illuminating the dark sky while still being able to make out stars. It makes you feel like your glowing on the inside-out like the sun; and for a second everything flows in slow motion and you're the only thing moving at normal speed.
