Ken Scott

During his final years in the Royal Marines, Saxon was stationed in the UK, using his unique skills to locate former colleagues who had vanished for various reasons. His specialty is finding people.

Now, Sax is embarking on a new adventure along the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain, a historic pilgrimage route known as The Way of St James.

While in the Basque Country, near the Pyrenees foothills, he encounters an Irish girl and a priest. A few days later, the girl goes missing.

Saxon calls on his old Bootneck friend, Dave Valentine, and together they uncover a connection to a Nigerian sex trafficking ring that the Spanish Guardia had dismantled a few years ago.

Could it be that some members of the gang evaded capture and are now active again?

Sandra Lefort

At 50 years old, Sandra’s friend insisted she had the makings of a bestselling book.

“Not a chance,” Sandra replied, “I have too many friends who don’t know anything about my life. They’d run a mile if they did!”

Sandra always knew she had a compelling story. Her real-life love story, filled with tales of prostitution, unknowingly smuggling £7 million worth of cannabis from Morocco, drug running from Peru, an attempted murder, and a stint in a French prison, seemed like pure fiction. Yet, even the most creative novelist couldn’t have invented such a tale.

Now, over 30 years later, Sandra is ready to set the record straight and share her experiences.

This is Sandra’s story—one of love and heartache, sexual encounters and awakenings, betrayal, broken hearts, and dreams. It’s a book about a woman who relentlessly pursued adventure, regardless of the risks.

Wayne Connell

This memoir is an unflinching, authentic account of the author’s experiences in Spain. Connell candidly exposes the complexities of relocating, starting a business, and raising a family in a foreign land.

He reveals the challenging realities of Spanish laws, customs, and traditions, detailing his treatment and deep disdain for the nation’s corruption.

Connell delves into the stark, often dark aspects of an outdated system, highlighting the pitfalls to avoid to protect your wealth and avoid failure. He addresses those who lost their life savings chasing a dream in Spain, while also saluting the ones who succeeded.

This book is not for the faint-hearted or those with idealistic views of Spain as merely a land of flamenco, tapas, and sangria. It offers a clear-eyed account of the real Spain through the lens of an astute observer.

Madison’s childhood was fraught with hunger and fear. With their father often absent, Madison and her brother Robbie were left under the care of their chronically alcoholic mother, whose sadistic tendencies and physical, mental, and sexual abuse threatened their safety in her quest for attention.

Unbeknownst to them, their mother suffered from Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy.

Despite these harrowing conditions, the siblings stuck together, facing their challenges with remarkable resilience to survive and reach adulthood. This candid account, filled with deception and cruelty, takes the reader through a whirlwind of secrets and betrayals, exploring the darkest corners of human nature.

Yet, the author’s survivalist humor shines through, reminiscent of Frank McCourt’s Angela’s Ashes.

This is Maddie’s story.
