In Stories People Tell, Annie’s efforts to reduce violence against girls and women involve, amongst other things, sharing stories from ordinary people’s lives not only to counter the media’s tendency to glorify or vilify specific individuals, but above all to encourage people to be more attentive to those around them. The movement she spearheads is not without raising opposition.

Those who say they value my photos must be wondering why I haven’t posted any recently. The answer is two fold. A broken arm makes things more difficult. But also, I wanted to shift emphasis to my novels. A successful photo is produced in a click. Accessible online, a glance is enough. A novel, in comparison, requires effort to read. That effort is all the greater in a world where everyone is clamouring for attention. Despite these hurdles, novels bring pleasure and can open new vistas. So, why not stop a moment, get comfortable, pick up one of my books, study the cover, front and back, then open to the first page and begin reading…

Are you physically ailing? Chances are doctors will want to take a scalpel to you or bombard you with rays or have you ingest chemicals. What if none of that were necessary? By travelling to each other’s minds in the Boy & Girl Saga, Peter and Kate discover healing can be done from within. You might expect the medical profession to welcome such an approach. On the contrary. They waged war on Peter and Kate to prevent them healing. Read about their struggles and their successes in We Girls, the third book of the Boy & Girl saga.

Peter, a full-time girl. As the Boy & Girl series begins, Peter can only snatch brief moments wearing his sister’s clothes. Later he spends all his time dressed as a girl. For him dressing up is natural, but he has no intention of becoming a girl. The truth is, he only feels complete when he is both girl and boy. Such straddling of the gender divide is not to everybody’s liking. It can lead people, even those who are normally level-headed, to react with violence as Peter is well aware. Want to know more? Read Boy & Girl, the first novel in the series.

The Truth Mongers - a novel that explores the bending of truth in daily life.

Do you lie awake at night worrying about the state of the world? There are ample reasons. Not least of which is the assault on science, fact and truth, with the rich and powerful bending 'realty' to suit their will. But its not only on the public stage that people toy with reality. We are all busy inventing explanations and justifications to fit the narrative by which we live. The Truth Mongers is a novel about a young girl’s quest to understand those distortions of truth in daily life and map out their impact, an adventure that turns out to be surprisingly risky.

The world in shock has its eyes riveted on Tr*mp’s tariffs. Distracted as we are, we need to keep an eye on what other damage the president is wreaking. It’s a ploy Naomi Klein describes in her book Shock Doctrine: exploit the chaos of disasters to push through unpopular policies or, in this case, cower governments worldwide. That said, we also need to be attentive how leaders elsewhere take advantage of the crisis to ram through undesirable agendas. Read Tariffs: One passing train can hide another. https://author.secret-paths.com/tariffs-one-passing-train-can-hide-another/

StoryFolk - A new novel by Alan McCluskey about clones.

The price of being different. Imagine walking into a crowded pub to have everyone turn and look at you with distrust or disgust. What could you have done? The answer is simple. You're coloured, or gay, or trans, or a woman. Now add to that feeling of fear and injustice that you’ve just discovered you're a clone. Such challenges, coupled with being a teenager are those faced by Vata, Kit and Celi in my novel StoryFolk.

The Truth Mongers is a novel about young Tegan’s quest to understand untruth in daily life with the help of friends. When I began writing the novel, I had no idea where the story would go. As Tegan rose to new challenges, I followed her along an unexpected path that led to notoriety notably through a collection of stories about daily life. She summed up her thoughts in the preface. When I read that now, I am amazed at how lucidly she was able to write. I certainly couldn’t.
