I live in the beautiful seaside town of Peñíscola that is situated in the north of the Community of Valencia and set in a privileged part of the Spanish Mediterranean called the Costa Azahar or Orange Blossom Coast. The municipality of Peñíscola covers 79Km², 17 of which run parallel to the coastline, an area that is fairly distributed between woodland areas and warm Mediterranean groves of oranges, olives and almonds. The Old City, which is crowned by a XIV century castle-stronghold and was the residence of Pope Benedicto XIII, stands on top of an impressive rocky crag that rises 64 metres above the blue sea. A sandy isthmus joins it to the mainland, which in the past was swept by waves in the midst of storms, turning the city into an ephemeral island. Providing a contrast with the old quarters are the modern streets and wide avenues of the tourist area. Warm waters in summer and autumn are shared between the extensive beaches of fine sand which lie to the north of the fortress, and the beautiful coves flanked by steep cliffs which can be found to the south.

Print: $25.32 The present-day Parish of Greatham lies in the county of Hampshire, on either side of the old Farnham (Surrey) to Petersfield Turnpike.
The ‘Domesday Book’ of 1086 recorded Greatham as being ‘Terra Regis’, a Latin term meaning ‘Land of the King’, indicating that this was once a Royal manor belonging to William the Conqueror himself. In later years, the manor passed through many families by marriage and by purchase, including the Devenish, Marshall, Norton, Freeland, Love, Chawner and Coryton families.
The name of the village has changed many times, however slightly, over the years. Greteham, Grietham, Gretham, Grutham, Gratham all derived from two separate words, the ‘Old-English’ (Anglo-Saxon) ‘ham’, meaning ‘village, estate, manor or homestead’ and an old Scandinavian word ‘griot’ or ‘gryt’, meaning ‘stones or stony ground’. Thus the name ‘Greotham’ came into being, literally a ‘stony estate’ or ‘farm on gravel’.

Print: $18.06 This is a sequel to Peter Griptons original ‘A History of Greatham’ published in late 2003. Since then many people far and wide have sent Peter further contributions, ones that they said they were quite happy to share with local inhabitants. The articles and stories in’ Greatham Memories cannot in any way be described as ‘A History of Greatham Part 2’, but the author hopes that readers will enjoy them just the same.

Hardcover Print: $39.84 The story of the War in Korea and of the part played by the REME from 1950 to 1953 as told by various individuals of that Corps, makes fascinating reading. The support and devotion to their colleagues is most apparent, but typical of the British soldier, these experiences are
balanced with a sense of sympathy for the unfortunate Korean civilian population caught up in the conflict, and it wouldn't be a true story of the British soldier without its sprinkling of 'squaddie' humour. John Dutton has provided an excellent compilation of personal accounts in this comprehensive story of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers at war where the positioning of Light Aid Detachments and Field Workshops was just as important to senior commanders in their tactical planning as was the medical back-up of a Regimental Aid Post or a Field Ambulance.

Print: $8.98 A collection of verses recounting the lives of Army Apprentices at Arborfield.
The Army Apprentices School at Arborfield
was originally designed to house and train
up to 1,000 apprentices at a time. In the
1990’s the originally buildings had been
replaced with those of a more modern
construction - but to many old boys
they were far more inferior to the
original wooden and corrugated iron
accommodation spiders and other buildings.
In 2004 the Labour government in their wisdom decided that apprentice training at Arborfield would cease completely and so it was that on the 12th August 2004 the last batch of Arborfield Army Apprentices from more than 50,000 before them passed out from the College to move into mans service.
For those who started their Army careers as Apprentice Tradesmen Arborfield has always held a special place in their hearts. TeeCee’s collection of amusing and sometimes poignant verses reflects much of the life and attitudes of many who spent their formative years there.

Indexing
A good text deserves a professionally produced index. However well your book is written, if your reader is unable to navigate their way around the text, all your good work is undone. A professionally produced index gives the reader another route into your work, and thereby significantly enhances its overall appeal. Those who may wish to use the Indexing service will include authors who have produced reference works or texts in specialist areas, or authors of works which are not intended to be read from start to finish, but may need to be accessed at different points at different times.
We can take your finished book or document and create properly formatted professionl index that can be easily added into the book. It's worth emailing us first before purchasing this service so that we can provide you with the most competitive quote for the work.
Page Design and Layout
What often distinguishes a book produced by a professional publisher from one that is self-published is not the quality of the writing, but the way it is presented on the page to the reader.
