Book excerpt: It was the evening of the 15th of June 1975. All over the United Kingdom excited anglers waited for the stroke of midnight before they could make their first casts into the murky depths of piscatorial bliss. For the 16th of June is the beginning of a new coarse fishing season, a nine-month period where anglers can unwind after a week of hard work and feel at one with nature and the beautiful British countryside, and feel normal again. Some folk view anglers as eccentric and most angling clubs have their oddball characters, none more so than the Spinfield Coarse Angling Club. Follow the antics of three carp anglers dressed in drag, Jed, Will and Rick, and an angler who thinks he is Mr Crabtree, but hardly ever catches anything. Spigworth Pond, an angling book with a difference, guaranteed to make you titter during the blank hours. Careful you don't laugh too much though, or you may miss a bite!

Book excerpt: One in Six is the courageous story of healing broken hearts. It is horrific because recent international investigations have revealed that child abuse is not only common, but highly organised, and its perpetrators continue to destroy millions of lives worldwide. It is also unique because accounts and learnings like John's are rarely published. It is needed because it provides a roadmap to recovery and it gives hope. John's memoir as a Catholic religion child abuse survivor points a way towards healing. By examining pockets of his painful past, he uncovers a courageous heart. He questions the outdated cultural, family and self-imposed beliefs that prevent healing, and shows how a new life can finally become possible for the survivors that read it. One In Six is a compressed compilation of 30 years of significant healing moments that taught John about his innate capacity to give and receive love and now help others do the same. His therapeutic storytelling leads the reader to the greater understanding of a healing pathway. They learn that all suffering as a consequence of child abuse can be overcome by sharing, because suffering can only fester in the isolation created by guilt and shame. In finding their courage from the inspiration of brave way showers like John, the reader's suffering can also one day fall away. One in Six includes topics of:-John's experience of abuse by his Catholic school teacher-Bullying and neglect by the Catholic school-Uncovering the memory of abuse through counselling-Working with Police-Dealing with family-The justice system-The effect on his children and partnerThis book is for survivors of child sexual abuse, for therapists, for empathetic humans who want to better understand the plight of the one in six men and one in three women who experience sexual abuse as a child.
