In a failing big city school where teachers fear for their jobs, the aptly named Anarchy arrives like a breath of fresh air. Cool Ethan and somewhat prickly Breeze soon count themselves her friends as she challenges damn near everything. As audacious as her several characters or their tastes in music, author Helen Larder writes with the strong voice of someone who's been there. Gay Literature.

Within the tight timeframe of a treasure hunt on a summer's day, this cleverly constructed story follows the progress of six very different women, one unconventional child and a desperate sperm donor. As they follow the clues to find the treasure, we also wait to see whether Jo will leave her lover and their daughter before the day is out. A generosity of human spirit runs through this book as it takes on infidelity, queer parenting, transsexuality and unrequited lust.

This lively and fun-loving lady, Helen George, has put together a collection of poems that reflect her childhood growing up in the Manchester area. Helen was born in 1965 in Sale, Cheshire, to Margaret & Michael Horn, both also from Sale. Her brother Richard was born in 1964. This book is dedicated to Helen's late father who sadly passed away from Huntington's Disease in 2016. Sadly, Helen has inherited Huntington's Disease from her dad, but she doesn't let it stop her living her life as best she can. The book is also dedicated to her late mother from whom she inherited her cheeky northern humour, which often crops up in the book. The poetry within the book depicts how people close to her, while too many to name they know who they are, have greatly touched her life and left footprints on her heart. £1 from every copy sold will go towards my local Huntington's Disease support group.
