Print: $15.95 Download: $4.78 This is a prophetic book first published by Emmanuel Anyiri on 25th February 2007, in which it was prophesised that a black man would become a presidential contender for the White House. Since then, Mr. Barack Obama has been nominated
by the Democratic Party to run against Republican McCain.

Other essays include a review of the J F Kennedy files, an examination of the death of President Saddam Hussein and the scenario in which blacks conquer Great Britain without a gunshot being fired. Read on… these essays will really get you thinking.

Print: $10.19 This story and script contains both factual and fictional accounts of Close Encounters of the First, Second and the Third Kind. Most of these encounters have been covered up, it is claimed, by the governments and the armed forces. They deny it, of course. Could something of this nature have happened to an ordinary set of people or individuals? That is something that has never been disclosed. Are people scared to speak up about their encounters with these alien beings or have they been told to keep quiet by the so-called ‘Men in Black’?? That surely is something we may never know. So I invite you now to come with me and enter the realms of mystery and imagination and examine a subject that has haunted the human race since the beginning of the world.

brothers and sisters had been subjected to appalling abuse right under the nose of Ulster’s social services, an agency that refuses to investigate these horrific crimes.

Print: $11.75 “Poetry is a different type of music. Words and verses create pictures in our mind and stir our emotions. Marinela’s poetry does this brilliantly. She captures and expresses the moods, the emotions, the feelings and the situation of the young, as well as the young at heart, be it her reflection on a tree or “Looking out my window” : or realising “I don’t know who I am”. “A Little Whisper” has a wide range of feelings and moods, be it the weather, the seasons or what possibly could lurk beneath our bed or the secret life of a pet! As a long time
author of fiction, I do recommend this book of poetry to everyone of every age.”

Less bravely, then and afterwards, I suspect. 'The Missing Sock' with its wit and humour is a wonderful cheery,cheeky finish to this collection. And in between? All life (and death)is here.Tom's struggles with the demon cancer, (long may he go on winning this battle!),his military experiences, and shining through the collection, his love for Paula. Tom writes beautifully and honestly, with a rare ability to illuminate large topics with a sideways glance at the small everyday incidents to which we all relate. Thank you, Tom."
