Book Description
Author John Davies offers the latest in his growing portfolio of fiction novels and presents his sixth book under the prestigious Trafford publishing banner. Like many authors in the past, John Davies has chosen a moment in his writing career to put the power of the pen to a worthy cause. For instance, Charles Dickens exposed the horrors of the Victorian debtors prison to which his father was incarcerated. John opens up the can of worms that is endemic in certain sections of the NHS of persuading unfortunate pregnant women to terminate their fetus when told it is likely to be born with Downs syndrome. An appalling pressure at a sensitive time of their life without even attempting to present an alternative. It is a vibrant book that will make readers think carefully about what stance they will take on this controversial topic of the twenty-first century. Previous novels by John Davies and published by Trafford Publishing are the following: Lorenzos Legacy, 2007; Inseperable, 2008; Gargantuan Gigolo, 2009; La Pasionara, 2010; Spains Savage Samurai, 2011. All are available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble. Also available in e-book format for Amazons Kindle.

Book Description
* Having picked up the sword of the Crusader in my last novel A PINT-SIZED WHISPERER exposing the scandalous pressure applied to pregnant women to terminate their foetus after being told their unborn babies were likely to be suffering with the dreaded Downs Syndrome, I now lighten up. Although A PINT-SIZED WHISPERER was commercially received successfully and questions raised in the House of Commons which rebuked certain sections of the NHS, I now return to my genre of easy-reading fiction. * MY FAIR ELIZA is a light-hearted parody of Alan Jay Werners book and George Bernard Shaws evergreen musical show My Fair Lady. * It is more than that. It is a heartfelt tribute to those dedicated people, they used to call crimpers, who couple their dexterity with brush, comb and scissors with a friendliness that keep us amused and entertained while we are sat shrouded by a voluminous sheet in their salon chairs.

Pages : 268
Book Description
SancZOOary is about Danny Hawthorne, a gifted (or some say 'special') boy, orphaned at birth yet born with mystical abilities to communicate with and heal animals. Danny is tormented by inexplicable dreams and he suffers schoolyard teasing and fights with jealous schoolmates. In spite of the tragic loss of his adoptive parents, Danny manages to overcome all life's hardships with the help of friends and mentors. He grows up to become a famed veterinarian and runs a zoo containing animals damaged by man's cruelty. His kindness and ability to communicate to people that animals have feelings and deserve support underscores the animal-rights theme of this powerful story. "VERY GOOD...the story demands the reader's full attention and makes putting this novel down an impossibility. The reader's emotions get a full workout, but the time is rewarded by a book that will linger in the reader's mind long after finishing the story." --- Kathy Rappabo, MSF&F www.jopoppub.com

Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Faced with a devastating diagnosis of cancer in 2015, I knew it was connected to my past. Had my childhood belief about my own mortality come to pass? My relentless struggle to escape the shadowy world of abuse, mental illness, addiction and tragic loss created lifelong struggles and cancer threatened to bring it all back. Wanting nothing more than to flee my wretched youth, I found reprieve through my psychic gifts and jumping out of my body. As my paranormal abilities strengthened, so did my fathers desire to control me. Mama knew about Daddys late night visits, but very little was expected of her because of the Schizophrenia. Even in her own psychotic world, Mama knew things. She chose to turn her back on me for reasons I could not understand while she prioritized the safety of my siblings. Daddy tortured my oldest brother and hero, Ricky, until he ran away. Freddie, institutionalized with cerebral palsy, escaped life in our God-forsaken family. Catherine, who was sickly and scared of her own shadow, hid in the closet during Daddys most unbearable attacks on me. Luke, the youngest, was most tuned into my psychic abilities and also exceptionally gifted. Savagely beaten at age sixteen, I was physically ejected from my home. Clothes strewn on the front lawn, I had to suddenly find a place to live and a way to support myself. The excruciatingly lonesome journey back to myself consists of a myriad of heartbreaking relationships, bizarre paranormal experiences and harrowing twists and turns taking me from the mystery of old New Orleans to the sandy beaches of San Diego. Lessons learned in the darkest of times bring the greatest light.

The Devil's Whisper

ISBN: 097795191X

Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Take a moment and imagine your history books devoid of war. Envision entire civilizations absent of heinous crimes against humanity. A planet spared from the plagues of slavery, cultural genocides, and the colonization of indigenous nations by foreigners. Would you dare make the choices necessary to maintain this Utopia in which universal peace existed? Could you ignore the Devil whispering in your ear, luring you away from a world in which loving your fellow man was the expectation, not the exception? In a state of reverie, an impractical idea of world peace has given birth to a culture in which the human race has chosen to live free of violent criminals. Instead, criminals have been systematically exiled to the lone prison city, Katingal, constructed in a far corner of Earth. Sentenced for the remainder of their natural lives, the wicked pit themselves against their soulless brethren. Exposure, disease, and starvation claim their victims daily. Those who survive nature’s wrath negotiate the perils of the prison city through murder and cannibalism. All the while, this inimitable death sentence satisfies civilization’s aim to punish the world’s irretrievable outcasts. Charles “Yäbälay” Gravo is the criminal mastermind behind the world’s largest human trafficking network. As a prime most-wanted fugitive, he sets into motion events that will forever alter the realities of both civilization’s Utopia and Katingal’s Hell.
