They’re dramatically eye-catching; they’re international status symbols; they’re the new rock’n’roll – the sky-touching towers, swirling roofscapes and stunning pavilions of glass and iron created throughout the world by a generation of innovative architects.Kizzie French’s exhilarating debut novel explores this glamorous and viciously competitive world through the eyes – and between the sheets – of a sassy heroine determined to make her mark in a male dominated world. French’s vividly drawn characters range from an irresistible French architect with unmistakable erotic designs, through British aristocrats (including a Prince Charles lookalike with randy wife) to thrusting US entrepreneurs, while their criss-crossing lives take us beyond architecure into the fields of fashion magazines, professional photography, art galleries, show jumping and powerboat racing. As the action swirls with a cinematic sweep between London and New York, Paris and Rio de Janeiro, Calla is forced to come to terms with the intricacies of her own turbulent love life as well as the ploys of her unscrupulous rivals.

Poems personal and philosophical by a neo-classicist

Poems personal and philosophical by a neo-classicist

We’re in the last days of a general election campaign a few years from now. The ruling Tories have lurched to the right, with Labour abjectly following in their wake. The state has been further dismantled, while the poor, the unemployed and the disabled are ruthlessly demonised and punished. But there’s a shock in store, revolving around the indecent violation of a portrait of Margaret Thatcher that hangs in 10 Downing Street. A chance encounter opens the eyes of the caretaker prime minister, a landed grandee, to the grim realities of the country he nominally runs. As he swings to the left and Labour leapfrog him to fill the vacancy, the flag-waving Excalibur party promotes a policy of inviting the House of Windsor to play a greater role in government – and King Charles III seems more than willing to oblige . . .

This monograph celebrates the life of a remarkable man of Regency times – the banker, brewer, wine merchant and hop factor Timothy Brown. Its publication also serves to mark the bicentenary of his elevation to Master of the Worshipful Company of Brewers, in 1817. Brown was as well known for his advanced, reformist views in the politics of the day –earning him the soubriquet ‘Equality’ Brown – as for his acts of philanthropy and Radical patronage.A self-declared deist, dissenter and anti-Hanoverian during the tempestuous early 1800s, he regularly hosted soirées for free-thinking politicians, philosophers and literati at Peckham Lodge, his London home. Brown counted among his friends and acquaintances such personalities as the controversial clergyman John Horne Tooke, the Rural Rides author William Cobbett, the anarchist William Godwin, the colourful reformist Sir Francis Burdett Couttsand the Whig advocates Lords Thurlow and Erskine.With the constant threat of Napoleonic invasion hanging in the air, Brown regularly found himself under surveillance by the authorities on account of his known socio-political views and for subscribing to supposedly seditious foreign papers. Always discreet, however, he avoided arrest – and went on to accumulate considerable wealth and to finance publications such as ‘that organ of infidel philosophy’ The Theologica lInquirer and the third part oThomas Paine´s The Age of Reason.This monograph celebrates the life of a remarkable man of Regency times – the banker, brewer, wine merchant and hop factor Timothy Brown.
