In the vein of Hotel Babylon and Confessions of a GP, The Secret Player will fascinate footballs fans with its wealth of insider knowledge and willingness to talk, albeit anonymously, about the inner workings of the game. Based on the hugely popular 'The Player' columns in FourFourTwo magazine, the book gives a warts-and-all insight into the daily life of professional footballers. Month by month, it chronicles the oscillating rhythms of the season, from the trudge of pre-season to the 'squeaky-bum time' of promotion and relegation. The player himself has played at all levels of English football - from Premier League to a season of non-League - and represented England.

Responsible Adult Misdemeanor Life isn't always responsible... After his mother tragically dies and his deadbeat father goes off the rails, nineteen-year-old Micky is left to care for his disabled little brother, Flynn. Juggling college, a dead-end job and Flynn's special needs means Micky has to put his bad-boy past behind him and be the responsible adult to keep his brother out of care. He doesn't have time for anything else in his life. Hard Time Love isn't always responsible. After Micky O'Neill is remanded in custody for breaching his court order, his already tempestuous relationship with Dan Peters is tested to the limits. Having to battle their way through a court case that could end with Micky in jail, social workers breaking up the family home and the return of Micky's deadbeat father, it seems everything is set to destroy their relationship before it even has the chance to start. With such high stakes involved, not just for Micky but for once-burned, twice-shy Dan, they both have to learn that falling in love isn't always responsible. Reformed Someone has to be responsible. Micky O'Neill and Dan Peters now live in Wales, bringing up Micky's disabled little brother away from small-minded Heathwood and close to Micky's deceased mother's family. Things are fine...until Dan begins his dream career as an English teacher at the local school and Micky, main caregiver to Flynn, is isolated in a village that only serves to remind him of his mother's absence. With Flynn's health deteriorating and his needs becoming more complex, everything is tested to its limits and Dan seeks solace in a friendship with a fellow teacher, sending Micky into further turmoil. After an accusation is leveled against Micky and it seems he's slipping back into his old ways, he and Dan are torn asunder. To repair the rift, both have to accept responsibility—for life.

Like those writers to whom he has been compared--Fuentes, Garcia Marquez, James Joyce, and Rabelais--del Paso draws upon myth, science, and world literature to expand his particular story to universal proportions. Telling the story of a medical medical student who's engaged in an incestuous affair with his cousin, the novel satirizes advertising, politics, pornography, and mythology, while at the same time celebrating the body with a thoroughness that only a student of medicine could manage.

Return to the magical world of the Retrievers and the Cosa Nostradamus, in book 2 of this popular series by Laura Anne Gilman. Once more Wren Valere’s game plan has taken an unexpected direction. She made a bargain with a supersecret magic-watching outfit to protect her and her partner on their last job, but now the Silence is trying to wedge them apart. And ever since she and Sergei began to talk about their "relationship," things have been tricky. Still…they’re a team, and a force to be reckoned with when danger is near. So now they are off to Italy in search of a missing artifact, without any information other than that it’s very old, very dangerous and everyone who gets too close disappears. Compared with what’s going on at home (lonejacks banding together, a jealous demon, tracking bugs needing fumigation…) maybe disappearing wouldn’t be so bad! Originally published in 2005

A coming-of-age story about a young man called Stanley Spank who lives the life of a champion layabout with his best mate Jerry Dooley, supplemented by his hard-working parents, Greg and Brenda Spank. Stanleys life is one of endless days of nothing except for drinking, smoking, and fantasising about a life that seemed out of reach. Things change when Jerry lands a job abroad, leaving Stanley to rethink his own life choices, and out of a random act of desperation, a lucky break is bestowed upon Stanley that transforms his life. The self-styled lazy layabout is thrown into a world of glamour and fast women with lots of cash, and he is taken on a journey into the fast lane where, along the way, he meets a beautiful girl called Ami. Stanleys life is turned around, and the lure of earning good money along with female attention and a lifestyle he could only dream becomes a complex moral dilemma. A fun tale of twists and larger-than-life characters, which are interwoven into Stanleys journey of growth and experiences, The Life and Times of Stanley Spank will endear, delight, shock, and question the morality of his decisions as this small-town boy becomes the centre of a lot of peoples lives without realising it.
