Ludicrous, heart-warming and improbably inspirational, Spanish Steps is the story of what happens when a rather silly man tries to walk all the way across a very large country, with a very large animal who doesn't really want to. Being larger than a cat, the donkey is the kind of animal Tim Moore is slightly scared of. Yet intrigued by epic accounts of a pilgrimage undertaken by one in three medieval Europeans, and committed to historical authenticity, he finds himself leading a Pyrenean ass named Shinto into Spain, headed for Santiago de Compostela.

In these three travelogues, Andrew Sykes travels across Europe, along the Med, and from Spain to Norway on his trusty bike called Reggie. Making his way through tens of thousands of kilometres, he perspires his way through a hot and sticky mix of European mayhem and Mediterranean beauty.

Endurance: An Epic of Polar Adventure is Frank Worsley's first-hand account of one of the greatest survival stories ever told. As captain of the Endurance, Worsley recounts Sir Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated Antarctic expedition with remarkable clarity and immediacy, taking readers from the crushing grip of the pack ice to the extraordinary voyage that saved every member of the crew. Rich in detail and driven by the perspective of someone who lived through it, this is a gripping story of courage, leadership, and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.

The academic year must have been a difficult one as when the summer holidays arrived, secondary school teacher Andrew Sykes was happy to do as little as possible. Two years later, accompanied by his faithful companion Reggie (his bike) but only a rudimentary plan, Andrew set off for a trans-continental cycling adventure that would take him along the route of the Via Francigena and the Eurovelo 5 all the way from his home in southern England to Brindisi in the south of Italy.

Secondary school teacher Andrew Sykes moves out of the classroom, climbs onto his bicycle and sets off along the route of the EuroVelo 8, from the southern tip of Greece to the Atlantic coast of Portugal. However, this is more than just a cycling tale of border crossings and big hills, as our would-be adventurer perspires his way through a hot and sticky mix of Mediterranean landscapes, life and culture. Join Andrew as he travels along the Med on a bike called Reggie: an inspirational and light-hearted travelogue for cyclists and non-cyclists alike.

Closed for Business is not another pretty memoir. It is a woman’s unmasked truth… the truth most families would rather keep buried. In this book, I unpack the emotional and psychological abuse that shaped me, the mental warfare from my own mother, the physical beatings, self harm, suicidal thoughts, and betrayal that cut deeper because it came from people who shared my blood.

A single, violent impact ended one life and forced another to begin. Forgetting to Remember is a raw, unfiltered memoir about living with a traumatic brain injury and the aftermath no one prepares you for. This is not story of recovery. There is no finish line, no return to normal. Memory fades. Pain lingers. Identity fractures. This book records what happens when the person you were no longer exists in the way you remember.
