In the sequel to his popular first novel, Going Off The Rails, Keith Mapp's worm-that-turned hero John Biddle flies off to Caracas in Venezuela in an attempt to escape from his old life and everything about it that oppressed him. But escaping his past turns out not to be as easy as he had thought it would be and he soon finds history repeating itself as he is forced into Going Round Again. The comedy continues . . .
Have you ever wondered why the trains run late so often? John Biddle did -because he suffered from that late running day in and day out, on his daily commute to and from work. Then, one day, he accidentally found out the reason why - and it changed his life forever. Read this gentle satirical comedy to follow the transformation of this downtrodden corporate doormat as he uses his new-found knowledge as a weapon in an attempt to bite the hand that bleeds him and escape the shackles of his humdrum former life - his overbearing boss, his routine (boring) home life and, above all, the frustrating - maddening - hours he spends sitting on stationary trains.
One man: two lives; one in a dream, the other, reality. And when the end game is played, will it be part of the dream, or will it be for real? East End gangster George Johnstone and his ex-model wife Honey holiday every year in the heat and sunshine of the Caribbean, ferried down to their island getaway from Miami by their ex-Royal Air Force pilot in his twin-engined air taxi. George is in trouble, his criminal empire and the wealth it brings him being attacked by the influx of foreign criminal gangs into the London crime scene. The pilot dreams of Honey as something more than just his employer's wife, but those dreams are pointless, as George is not a man to be crossed if you value your life. This year everything starts out just as it usually does, but as time passes it becomes clear that things between George and Honey are not as they should be. For the pilot, as events unfold, dreams and reality begin to merge. Infatuation and opportunity combine, leading him and Honey into peril as dream turns to reality and reality to nightmare.

The Victorians had a thirst for knowledge. This drove them to explore the unchartered corners of the world, plumb the unfathomable depths of science, discover evolution and create some of the engineering and architectural marvels of the world. Yet this open-mindedness also at times made them utterly gullible. Because of their closeness to disease and the ever-present threat of their own mortality, it was inevitable that they would be open to the claims of quacks who promised all kinds of panaceas, and to mediums who offered a means of communicating with the dead. So too did it make them eager for diversion and entertainment by the conjurers and illusionists of the great music halls. Strangely, it was through the magic-making skill of the conjurers that the activities of many of the tricksters and fraudulent mediums finally came to be exposed. Medical Meddlers, Mediums & Magicians is a box of delights for all students of Victoriana.
