Take it On

Lucy was diagnosed with cancer when she was just 6 years old. “Take it on” written by Lucy herself details her journey and is intended to help other young people who may be starting their own journey, what they can expect to feel and experience along the way.

 

About the Author

Hi, I’m Lucy.
I was diagnosed when I was 6. Before I knew I had cancer, I was feeling very sick in the mornings and would vomit. After that, I would be fine. I found out I had cancer after I had a CT scan, which was done in a big loud donut shaped machine. 
Have you had one of them?
Through this new journey, it’s ok to feel scared; I know I was! Lots of things are going to change, but just remember there are lots of people around you who can help and explain any questions you may have. My family, including my Mum, Dad and Brother were always there for me no matter what, and still are today.
So… Do whatever you can to beat this monster! I know you can do it; after all, this is your journey.

The Seven Stories we tell Ourselves

Through all the events of our lives, we take the “facts” and arrange them into narratives that we tell ourselves.

Did you know we only have 7 basic stories from which to create these narratives?

And you can choose your narrative. But there are consequences
to the narrative that we tell ourselves. Each narrative has a pathway to resolution, a direction we must take. Each narrative can either serve us or hinder us in finding contentment and control in our lives. We can choose our narrative actively and therefore have control over our lives or we can allow ourselves
to choose subconsciously and accept the consequences of this.

The Seven Stories We Tell Ourselves provides a framework for understanding how we are telling our stories to ourselves.
It shows us the alternatives available for us to change our narratives and how we must proceed within our lives toward resolution of our daily conflicts and struggles. It is filled with inspiring stories and examples as well as tools to help us become the captain of our own ship, to be in charge of our own lives and to LIVE CONSCIOUSLY.

The Red Curtain

“Climbing can be difficult to comprehend. Climbing on Mars would certainly add a whole new dimension.”
Lynn Hill, USA

In 2006 whilst exploring a rocky outcrop in Antarctica scientists make a geological discovery, a shard of an ancient meteor, that could save the world from catastrophe. In time it is confirmed that the sample came from a mountainous location not accessible by any spacecraft or rover, in the vicinity of Olympic Mons – on Mars. Further samples can only be accessed by climbing.

Secretly, the United States Government engage NASA and Space Force to seek out and secure source samples. Come 2043 and a team of highly skilled climbers and astronauts are tasked to do just that, to attempt the impossible and climb a big wall on the red planet. They name their route the Red Curtain and the climb is fraught with danger and difficulty that will require all of their combined strength and courage to climb. With a training program as tough as NASA can provide and fitted out with cutting edge equipment to assist in the endeavour, they embark on an adventure that is larger than life. 34 million miles from home, and with the future of earth depending on their success, they are prepared for the worst but hope for the best. It will take their best to succeed in their mission as they find themselves immersed in the most challenging environment any climber has ever faced.

How will Mars Mission 5 fare?
This is their story.

About the Author

David Barnes has been rock climbing since he was a boy. He has interviewed some of the world’s most accomplished climbers and adventurers for print publications, including UK Climber and Vertical Life. Dave also gives back as Assistant Editor of Common Climber, an international online climbing magazine. He is the father of Joshua and Charlotte, and partner to Melinda.
This novel is dedicated to his family, to Kim and Ian and their family, and to the staff of The Royal Hobart Hospital in Tasmania, Australia, who nursed Dave back from the brink after a significant injury. He would like to acknowledge the support of his climbing mates, Conrad Wansbrough and Paul Pritchard, who helped him return to the crags afterwards. The character of Conrad has been named in Wansbrough’s honor. The Totem Pole gets a mention for Paul.
David would not have completed The Red Curtain without the assistance of his Yoda, Keith Bell, artist Karmelo Ornate, and his stoke photography mate, Phillip Booth – all good people. As is everyone who stood by Dave on his journey towards healing. Since his accident, David has used writing to assist with rehabilitation – hence this work and that experience are inextricably linked.
The Red Curtain is Dave’s first published novel.

PAPERBACK

Crushing Crohn’s

Some people view chronic illnesses like Crohn’s as a lifelong prison sentence.
Initially, I, too, shared that belief. I was dealt a bad medical hand at the age of eighteen and had to ‘shuffle the deck’ in my favour. In time, I discovered actions that led to a life free of medication. It’s highly unusual to hear of someone who has defeated severe Crohn’s disease and wrote a book about their experience – not that one should brag about their bowel habits or any other ritual that involves a toilet. Years of trial and error led to six simple principles that apply to crushing Crohn’s and reaching your goals. This book shares my journey with the reader, from symptoms, diagnosis, experimentation, to remission. It’s time to turn the tide and wake up to our inflammatory world. A change is coming, and it all starts with what we put in our mouths.

Jackals of Slavery

And How to Defeat Them

“Magna carta is now seen as a traditional mandate for trial by jury, justice for all, accountable government and no arbitrary imprisonment.” – Magna Carta Monument, Canberra

“The purpose of a court in a civilized country is the vindication of men’s rights and the enforcement of just causes.” – Lord Thomas Denning.

Here is an intended handbook that draws together certain essential elements of law and history in the defence of liberty from an ordinary suburban dentist who became a victim of bank fraud and compliant kangaroo courts. My name is John and I believe that We the People are a force to be reckoned with, provided we are armed with the knowledge of what is right and what is wrong and of what good men and women, who have gone before us, have sacrificed and achieved in the pursuit of truth and justice. We, too, have that same duty to our families, friends and neighbours.
