One of the most haunting mysteries in American history — The Lost Colony of Roanoke — comes roaring back to life in White Seed with a compelling cast of characters, among them:Maggie Hagger, indentured Irish serving girl, a victim of rape and intimidation,Manteo, Croatoan interpreter for the English, inhabitant of two worlds, belonging to neither,John White, ineffective Governor, painter, dreamer, father and grandfather,Captain Stafford, brave and disciplined, but cruel soldier, andPowhatan, shrewd Tidewater warlord who wages a stealthy war against the colonists.From Publishers Weekly: This above-average historical hews closely to the record of Sir Walter Raleigh's second doomed attempt to plant the British flag in Virginia, but embroiders the who, what, when with enough... embellishment to create a riveting story. … The depiction of the colony's physical and moral disintegration between 1587 and 1590 -- as drunken, cannibalistic soldiers mutiny and brutalize the settlers they were meant to protect, and as colonists confront disease, starvation and madness -- evokes a harrowing sense of human fallibility. Readers with more than a nodding familiarity with American colonial history will experience a … déjà vu, but others less hip to what happened in late-16th century times will find this saga, which starts slowly but soon reaches page-turner velocity, to be both a dandy diversion and an entertaining education.

"e;… Make no mistake about it: This is frontier fiction at its finest and most compelling—characters that yank you into their lives at this most crucial time in the history not only of this hemisphere, but in the making of the New World. To my way of thinking, if Calling Crow is an indication of what is this new writer's raw power, Paul Clayton should be around for a long, long time, spinning his mystifying, heart-wrenching tales that undeniably have the gut of truth to them, the smell of ancient fires, as well as the tingle of an awakening world."e;—Terry C. Johnston, author of Carry the Wind. 1555. Calling Crow is haunted by his recurring dream of the Destroyer who will one day lay waste to his village. Then Spanish colonial slavers from the island of Hispaniola arrive on the shores of the Southeast, lands that have been home to the Muskogee people for generations. Calling Crow and another brave are taken and bound into slavery. Life in the gold pits and slave camps is humiliating and brutal, but Calling Crow refuses to let them break his spirit. Aided by a kindly Spanish priest, Calling Crow vows to learn the language and ways of an overwhelmingly powerful enemy in order to eventually save his own people. But first he must regain his own freedom.

'You are an actor. You have worked hard to be an actor. You have made a considerable outlay, financially or emotionally, and often both, to do this. So do it. Do it with style. Do it wholeheartedly. Do it every day. Be a working actor.'Being a working actor isn't just about the days you spend rehearsing or performing. It's about approaching your chosen occupation with dedication, energy and focus, so that you always think of yourself as an actor – especially on those days when you're not acting – and that every single day you do something, however small, to help further your career.Written by the Chairman of the Actors Centre, with over forty years' experience as an actor himself, The Working Actor is the essential guide to putting yourself in the best possible position to get work, to keep getting it, and to make a living from it. It covers a comprehensive range of topics including:Finding work: the types of jobs on offer, how to track them down, working with your agentLanding the job: nailing auditions and meetings (and how they can go wrong), writing a winning letterPromoting yourself: compiling a showreel, building your website, choosing (and resembling!) your headshots, networking both on- and offlineSupporting yourself: choosing a suitable day job, joining Equity, staying positive, avoiding feeling isolatedEach chapter features a work task to inspire you to reflect on what you've learned and to put your knowledge into practice. By the end of the book, armed with your own personal Working Actor Plan, you'll be ready to find your path in the industry, manage your career, and maximise your potential.The Working Actor is an inspiring, reassuring book for actors of all ages and backgrounds – from recent graduates, to more experienced professionals – who want to take their career to the next level. It won't teach you how to act – but it will teach you how to be an actor.'Paul Clayton's great experience as a working actor shines through these pages. His passion for our profession remains undimmed, but he doesn't disguise the pitfalls and doldrums that are an inevitable part of an actor's life. Paul's book is an essential companion to anyone starting out, and pretty damn useful to those already out there. I only wish he'd written it forty years ago.' Alex Jennings'The most comprehensive, informed and practical advice on the job of acting you are likely to find.' Paul Clarkson, Head of Acting, Bristol Old Vic Theatre School'If you need advice as an aspiring actor, Paul Clayton is the man to go to. A must-have – and a good read too!' Anita Dobson
