Set against the contrasting backdrops of industrial Manchester and the Yorkshire Dales, Old Enough to Know Better tells the story of ten years in the life of bicycle frame builder, Malc Cowle. It was a decade when Malc should have been enjoying peace and tranquillity. Instead, it proved to be exactly the opposite; a period of turmoil, death threats and danger. It's a story involving the curse of alcoholism, a major currency counterfeiting operation, seduction, deceit, betrayal and murder. It's also a wonderful guide to good cycling, pubs and campsites in the Yorkshire Dales and other parts of the North of England. An exciting and absorbing read from start to finish.

When Cotton was King, labour was cheap. Less than three men in a hundred had the vote and the few women who'd enjoyed that right had the franchise taken off them. Toil, trouble and degradation for the many, produced vast riches and leisure for a few. Ordinary, and sometimes extraordinary, people refused to accept their servile position in society. They defied Church and State to fight against corruption, for universal suffrage and the basic rights we take for granted in a Parliamentary democracy. These are the tales of just a few. The author skilfully weaves his work of fiction into the historical tapestry of the Industrial Revolution, bringing his characters to life in the world's first industrial city - Manchester - the town of Long Chimneys.

Cotton was no longer King and Manchester's mills remained idle. The Etherow-O'Donnell and Akroyd families find themselves battling against a new enemy - a lack of work and widespread starvation. Famine stalked the land as the forces of the Confederacy and the Union battled it out in a war between Americans - brother against brother - father against son. The outcome of the Civil War would determine the future of the U.S. - whether democracy and liberty would triumph, or a new Confederate States of America emerge - a separate country with a government based on chattel-slavery and despotism. Just as Americans found themselves divided, so too did the antagonistic classes in the cotton-manufacturing region of England. Once again the author skilfully weaves his weft of fiction into the warp of historical reality. An exciting read from start to finish.

As seen on TV The bicycle is one of mankind's greatest inventions - and the most popular form of transport in history. Robert Penn has ridden one most days of his adult life. In his late 20s, he pedalled 40,000 kilometres around the world. Yet, like cyclists everywhere, the utilitarian bikes he currently owns don't even hint at this devotion. Robert needs a new bike, a bespoke machine that reflects how he feels when he's riding it - like an ordinary man touching the gods. It's All About the Bike is the story of a journey to design and build a dream bike. En route, Robert explores the culture, science and history of the bicycle. From Stoke-on-Trent, where an artisan hand builds his frame, to California, home of the mountain bike, where Robert tracks down the perfect wheels, via Portland, Milan and Coventry, birthplace of the modern bicycle, this is the narrative of our love affair with cycling. It's a tale of perfect components - parts that set the standard in reliability, craftsmanship and beauty. It tells how the bicycle has changed the course of human history, from the invention of the 'people's nag' to its role in the emancipation of women, and from the engineering marvel of the tangent-spoked wheel to the enduring allure of the Tour de France. It's the story of why we ride, and why this simple machine remains central to life today.
