 How a Memoir Transforms Lives By Robert Jacoby and John Robinette
Our book, Never Stop Dancing: A Memoir, is actually three stories: it’s John’s story of losing his wife Amy, killed instantly in a pedestrian traffic accident, and left alone to raise their two young sons; it’s Robert’s story, of being John’s friend during that terrible first year; and it’s the story of two men in conversation. Peeling back layers of life to see what’s underneath.

I like to believe that my head is in New York, but my heart is somewhere in Africa. Most of my books are about saving animals in Africa from poachers, traffickers and big game hunters. Killing Harry Bones, Killing Bobby Fatt and the soon to be released Killing Valerian Zolotov, expose the true motivation of trophy hunters and the myth that hunting encourages conservation. In these books, called the Roger Storm Series after their reluctant protagonist, the animals get their revenge, the trophy hunters get their comeuppances and the profits from sales go to various animal charities.

The Seaborne by A.G.Rivett
A novel of Celtic quantum time that asks us to consider the ways in which we are all born strangers, seaborne foundlings, living between worlds. A parable for our particularly torn times.

What if you had no choice but to simplify your way of life?
This is what happens to John Finlay, a London engineer who runs away and becomes: the Seaborne. His headlong flight plunges him into a near-death experience. But when he regains consciousness he finds himself in a very different world from the one he left behind. The Island is somewhere to the west of Scotland, in a time that feels medieval. John travels from disbelief to despair, but finds himself held by people who teach him their Celtic language and the ways of a small community, living sustainably and close to the earth. As John starts to take his place among the Islanders he tries to bring them something from our world. But what he brings splits the community wide open and has him on trial, re-enacting a much deeper, and older, story. The Seaborne: a tale of transformation. The only way out, is through.
The Seaborne, by A.G.Rivett
At least on my side of the Pond, the name of Philip Pullman is as big in literature at the moment as that of Margaret Atwood. He’s recently released two volumes of his trilogy anticipating the work which really raised him to mega-stardom – about Lyra and Will and Lord Azriel and the infamous Mrs Coulter which, quoting from Milton’s Paradise Lost, he entitled His Dark Materials.
