Inspired by real events The year is 1889. When a fire tears through the Mauricewood coal pit there is no escape. Of sixty-five men working, only two survive. Many of the bodies will not be recovered for months. Martha and her sister have lived with their granny since their mother died, but she is not kind. The death of their father in the Disaster means an end to any chance of a better life. For Martha’s stepmother, Jess, the wait for a body to bury, and the struggle to deal with a loss that is both collective and private, is agonizing. With many of the miners families left destitute, the women of Mauricewood undertake a campaign for compensation and justice against the criminally negligent pit owners. Martha and Jess’s stories lie at the heart of this elegy to the closeknit communities of the pit villages in a gripping tribute to resilience and courage in the face of utter catastrophe, based on true events, original source material and Alexander’s own family history. Praise for The Mauricewood Devils: 'A beautifully written book, affecting and eligiac, by a novelist who is also a poet. It is at once desperately sad and painful, uplifting and life-affirming. What saves the lives of the characters, as much as mere physical sustenance, is telling stories, both those they tell themselves consciously and those that visit them unbidden. And the book itself is a testament to the power of storytelling. It takes a long gone, largely forgotten historical event and brings it to life again.' Allison Miller, author of Demo

In 1982, Argentina rashly gambled that a full-scale invasion of the Falkland Islands — ownership of which had been disputed with Great Britain for over a century — would put an end to years of political wrangling. However Britain’s response was to immediately dispatch a task force to recover the islands, by force if necessary. The ‘conflict’ which followed (a formal declaration of war was never given) lasted ten weeks from Argentine invasion to British liberation, the white heat of battle using 20th century technology contrasting with bitter hand-to-hand bayonet fighting in inhospitable conditions. Eyewitness accounts by the participants of both sides, and islanders, leave us in no doubt as to the ferocity of the combat on land, sea, and in the air. Comparison photography in color of all the battlefields, the crash sites of the aircraft shot down, the relics and the remains, together with portraits of those who lost their lives and the battlefield memorials, serve as a graphic testimony to their endeavors, 25 years after the battle. A Roll of Honour lists the casualties of both sides and, for the first time, the graves of all the British fallen — both on the islands and in the United Kingdom — have been visited and photographed as a lasting record of all those who made the supreme sacrifice.

Julian is a middle-aged gay poet whose mother, an artist, has just died. While grieving her death, he sorts through his mother's paintings, revisiting a bittersweet past: his parents' marriage overshadowed by memories of war, and his own romantic affair with Roman, his lover. Set in post-war communist Poland, Julian's recollections of his relationship unfold in many ways like the immortal tale of Romeo and Juliet. Just like Shakespeare's young lovers, the two young men, always meeting in secret, hear the nightingales at night and the larks at dawn. Unlike the storied lovers from high class Verona, however, Julian and Roman's love unravels in bleak surroundings: a public park, a grim little apartment, and a primeval forest. As Julian journeys through the reality of his youth, he challenges the tyrannical postwar censorship that surrounded and strangled both art and gay relationships. His tale is a testimony to the strength of the human spirit to survive-and even thrive-in an oppressive political regime.
