HOW to deal with CRIRICISM

Criticism is a very powerful tool that can be a great help or a completely devastating blow, depending on how it is used.
Sadly, not many people use it with the intention to help, but rather with the intention to cut others down.

If you find yourself repeatedly at the receiving end of such destructive acts, this book is for you.
Because you haven't deserved it.
And there is no reason in the world why you should put up with it.

In this book we look at what different types of criticism exist and examine their nature.
We look at what can be done about it, and how you can come out on the winning end, in spite of what anyone else may do to you.

A Year on the Island

Publication Date: January 3, 2014

It's almost a decade since teenage Mia moved from Solkrogen, the harbor of her childhood, to follow her dreams, leaving behind her family and a safe way of life.
She is now on her way back to Scandinavia, with both her dreams and her worst nightmares having come true.

The memories of her idyllic childhood in Solkrogen draw her back to the Danish isle of Fejø.
She feels ready to start up a new career and a brand new life on an ancient farm with an enclosed orchard, in the heart of the Danish Kingdom.

Yet, as idyllic and peaceful as her surroundings are, the battle is still raging inside her. As a landmine-victim, her daily life isn't exactly easy.
Perhaps buying an old farmhouse that needed so much attention was being a little too optimistic? Perhaps she should have settled for living humbly off her pension, rather than investing it all in an attempt to make it on her own once again?

While the challenges seem endless, so are the surprises and the rewards, once she dares to give things a chance!

This moving story is a journey into the heart and mind of someone who has been through hell, set in one of the most idyllic islands in Scandinavia. A journey in which - in spite of all the odds - she still manages to win back a life that is not only worth living, but once again is sweet and full of promise for a bright tomorrow!

The diary-like entries make the story a very personal experience, and special additions, such as a plenitude of photographs and occasional recipes, help to convey the feeling of being on the island with Mia.

Each Solkrogen-book is an individual story. The books don't need to be read in order. All you need to know is explained along the way and in the back of the book.

A football story about the 1958-9 F.A. Cup

A nostalgic football novel
You are invited to follow the reminiscing of Mayor Sid Shufflebottom, Chairman of Upper Nozeley Athletic, as he recalls the Lancashire Combination club's dramatic and extraordinary run in the 1958-9 F.A. Cup. 

How does the new manager, and ex-professional, Joe Megson, drum a bunch of talented amateurs into giant-killers? 
What are: "Harold's Hammer", the "cave", and the "Witches breath"?
Is a sense of direction actually necessary for a good dribbler?
Can Dick Digglesworth really be trusted?
Where does the laughing gas come in?

Not everything is done by the book, but as Sid says, "It's all part of the game, tha knows."
