“What a treat. An all-star cast with one thing in common: they worked with David Wood. And just for us he’s brought them to life again – and so vividly – in this irresistible memoir of his ‘brushes with Hollywood'." Gyles Brandreth In this memoir, actor and writer David Wood recalls his ‘brushes with Hollywood’, notably being kissed on the lips by Elizabeth Taylor as midnight struck on his 22nd birthday; playing Richard Burton’s servant on stage in Dr Faustus; being seduced by Shelley Winters in The Vamp, a television two-hander play; hanging upside down from a chandelier and being rescued by David Hemmings in the West End musical Jeeves; singing songs and being shot down in flames as a Royal Flying Corps officer in the film Aces High, in which he was reunited with Malcolm McDowell (his fellow rebel schoolboy in the film If….) and acted alongside Christopher Plummer and Simon Ward; sharing the screen at sea in an oil rig supply vessel with Roger Moore, Anthony Perkins and James Mason in North Sea Hijack; penning the daytime Emmy-nominated Back Home, starring Hayley Mills, thereby becoming a Disney-approved writer; and writing The Queen’s Handbag to celebrate the Queen’s 80th birthday, performed in Buckingham Palace Gardens and seen live by 8,000,000 BBC TV viewers. "I couldn’t put it down. It has all the charm and warmth and wit that is David Wood and his lifelong passion for the theatre is inspiring. I loved it." Hayley Mills

Roger McLaren - ex computer salesman, erstwhile impersonator, now a part-time SIS agent, and successful novelist - is en route to visit ex school-pal, Tony Higgins, in Perth, Western Australia; a holiday during which he hopes to recover from the effects of a previous "mission" during which his girlfriend was killed. Having opted for a "recommended" Singapore stopover en route, he soon discovers his life is again being manipulated. During his brief sojourn on the island nation, Roger - by result of an apparent mistaken identity - suddenly finds himself to be in possession of a large quantity of heroin, by means of which he is coerced into assisting the Australian Federal Police (Narcotics Branch), in an attempt to close down an International drugs ring. His choices somewhat limited, he naturally opts for the latter as, in Roger's opinion, "Let's face it, life can become boring if you allow it to". The British SIS, with whom Roger has tenuous links, are also seen to be involved.Naturally, being Roger McLaren, the inevitable female companion pops up. In this instance, the stunning Miss Judy Kimberley Hamilton, whom he meets by chance on the flight from Singapore to Perth. This turns out to be a rather fortuitous meeting, for Kimberley's father, Robert K Hamilton, chairman of Hamilton Industries Pty, would seem to be implicated in the very things in which Roger has an interest. At least, certain branches of his conglomerate would appear to be deeply involved, especially those linked to the ruthless Klaus Santana, and his "Claws", one of which is the seemingly psychopathic, Bruce Jones.Roger delivers the "package" upon arrival in Perth then, piecing together seemingly unrelated bits of data, an idea begins to form. Throw in the delightfully sexy Kimberley, a smattering of travel, technology, and intrigue, and Roger once more finds himself with his hands rather full.

Eclipso's search for a surviving non-avian dinosaur turned farcical on New Britain Island, thanks to an elaborate hoax. His motley crew hopes for better in Central West Africa, home to mokele mbembe described as having a long, snake-like neck, an elephant's torso, and an alligator's tail. They have a plan to follow the creature's migratory path, listening carefully for its unique gaseous expulsions. But will wishful thinking get in their way? Will the hoaxers strike again?And speaking of hoaxers, are the people they rescued from a dangerous swamp really time travelers?It's a ticklish business where something might be about to stink

This inevitably controversial new work casts entirely new light on who wrote the Shakespeare plays.The Shakespeare authorship question is the longest running and most heated literary controversy in history. In a major new contribution David Taylor offers a comprehensive review of how and why the man from Stratford-upon-Avon became accepted as the sole playwright. However, he shows that the First Folio of 1623 includes a surprising number of contentious statements, which in fact undermine claims made for the man from Stratford as the sole author.Modern research strengthens such scholarly queries. New 'attribution research' has revealed that he had several collaborators, with about a third of his plays being co-written. Taylor investigates who were his collaborators or partners. He shows that disguised authorship was normal then.Hidden meanings, codes, devices and emblem books were much used. He has identified such a cipher system in the First Folio's Dedicatory Epistle and found written confirmation of its use. This distinctive message is supported amongst other evidence by the allusive imagery in Love's Labour's Lost, the first play to carry Shakespeare's name. Taylor has identified 'the silent partner.'
Happily, no lives have been lost so far on Eclipso's worldwide search for a surviving non-avian dinosaur. But is that about to change in Pembrokeshire, Wales? Locals are vanishing one by one, with a blood-soaked shirt and shoe left behind. It's the wildest quest yet, as one of Eclipso's own becomes a suspect...and evidence mounts that multiple prehistoric beasts, or a serial killer, might be roaming the Welsh coastline. Bonsai Gator is going to have a tough time reggae dancing his way out of this one
