'The story of a life is a secret as life itself. A life that can be explained is no life at all.' Elias Canetti Is it possible to write about the living without imagining them dead? Michael Shamanov is a man running away from life's responsibilities. His marriage is over, he barely sees his son and he hasn't seen his mother since banishing her to a nursing home two years earlier. A successful screen writer, Michael's encounter with his mother's nurse leads him to discover that the greatest story he's never heard may lie with his dying mother. And perhaps it's her life he's been running away from and not his own. Is the past ever finished? Should we respect another's silence? And if so, is it ever possible to understand and put to rest the strange idea of family that travels through the flesh? From the Miles Franklin shortlisted author of No One comes a haunting gem of family secrets and impossible decisions.

I have been inspired to write this book by a group of men I had the wonderful opportunity to meet during the summer of 2014 at two Texas state prisons. I am still humbled and in awe of the spirit with which these men practiced and sought out the Wonderful Dharma of the Lotus Flower Sutra, frequently referred to as simply the Lotus Sutra. Why is this book necessary? The state and federal prison population has skyrocketed over the past several years. While the number of inmates has grown, there has been only small contributions from Nichiren Shu to help prisoners face the challenge of practicing according to Nichiren's doctrines in that unique environment. I don't feel I have the luxury of ignoring the need, especially after what I experienced in Texas. What has emerged through the process of writing this book is not something to replace the Lotus Sutra Practice Guide but a book to be used perhaps in support of the program the Practice Guide outlined. This book I hope will be of the most benefit to the many inmates who may be desiring to practice Buddhism, any brand of Buddhism, and find themselves without a teacher to help them. This book is a guide to daily life as a Buddhist in a hostile and unsupportive as well as uneducated environment. This book is not intended to inform the general public about prison life. It is written solely for inmates. However, non-incarcerated individuals may enjoy and benefit from reading this book.

How to Steal a Piano and Other Stories is a set of intriguing tales of our time – some dark and challenging, others light and comical. The title story tells of a young piano salesman in Harrods who comes across a Bechstein grand in storage that appears to have been forgotten about. Would anyone miss it? There’s only one way to find out. Grasshopper and Unlucky for Some narrate the trials and tribulations of single women and online dating. It should be so straightforward, but even something as simple as meeting up with the correct man can be problematic. Pirates invade a usually quiet Derbyshire town in Matlock Meg and the Riber Hoard, and in Runner a trio of yobs get the shock of their lives when they try to avoid paying the bill at Mr Ping’s Chinese restaurant. Zulu the police dog will entertain telling his own story in Woof Justiss, and octogenarian Dotty extends her vocabulary when she researches the history of the c-word in Sevenoaks library. Beneath the savoury and unsavoury characters and the twists and turns of their stories flow some thought provoking themes. Status based on ill-gotten gains, the self-destructiveness of road rage, lifelong barriers between fathers and sons, the therapeutic nature of a good limerick, and the convoluted sex life of the clergy. John Hughes has skilfully interwoven adventures from his own life with the fruits of his imagination in thirteen stories that will have you laughing one moment, gasping the next, and quite possibly shedding a tear or two.
