This work includes two short novels. I have transformed true events into short novels. I was one of them who survived the war until the last day. What happened in Sri Lanka in the twenty-first century is the genocide of Tamil people in Sri Lanka.An Eternal Testament, a short novel, is a dissection of that genocide. The Tamil race in Sri Lanka, which became a victim of genocide, has not received justice to this day. I firmly believe that this short novel will draw the attention of the international community.The Tamil Eelam Liberation Struggle was a just cause. It is unique compared to other liberation struggles in the world. Fighters in the Tamil Eelam Liberation Struggle engaged in the movement with honesty and in truth. I have depicted the experience and history of one of them in the short novel One Nation One Heart; One Heart One Nation. I believe that the short novel will help the world understand the nation of the liberation struggle.Let the sense of emancipation spread among the people all over the world. Let the door of theheart of the World Court open! Let us get justice.

The end of Queen Victorias reign and the Edwardian period that followed witnessed some of the greatest social and political upheavals the world had ever seen. Patriarchal aristocratic dominance was gradually being replaced by the educated middle classes. In Great Britain, the House of Lords had lost its power of veto, and for the first time, a Liberal government had been voted into power. The fight for Irish independence was growing stronger by the year, as were the suffragettes, who had replaced peaceful demonstrations with violence and illegal tactics. Spies were everywhere, or so the public believed, and as war with Germany came closer, the modern British Secret Service was formed. This novel is about one womans involvement in all of the above, ably assisted by a few Irish folk she chanced to meet along the way.

"How much longer do you think well have to wait?" Tilly Carpenter asked rather questioningly, with her fingers crossed and some degree of impatience.She had never been any good at waiting around for something to happen! But this was one thing that no one was able to speed up; it would simply happen when Brownie was ready, and not before no matter what Tilly did in the poor attempt to hurry things along."Im not sure," Coral Johnson shrugged in answer. "But Dad thinks it will be soon. Maybe one or two more days?""At least were on spring break, so it doesnt really matter." Tilly sighed in exasperation. "Were going to be here at Saddlers Ranch as much as we can until then. Right, Lexie?""Absolutely!" Lexie Howard nodded in avid agreement. "And afterwards too, dont forget.""Of course," Tilly seemed almost affronted by the suggestion that she might not have remembered. "How could I forget! Brownies standing right in front of us, and shes grown so much that it looks like she really did swallow another horse!""Mares always have protruding bellies when theyre in foal." Coral explained, chuckling slightly."Yes, I know. But not that much, surely?" Tilly stuttered. "Shes huge!"

Death is such a fascinating yet sorrowful thing. And I say thing because it is so mysterious. The way we experience death and dying is very personal. I strongly believe that since it happens to everyone, at some point, we need to be more open about it. Explore the science, the religion, the thought processes, the comfort. Lets demystify death, in the hopes that we wont be afraid; after all, we cant run away from it.

What makes a good yarn? Is it spun with a strong thread running through it, or does it need more than one thread? And how do you know a real yarn from a fake one? Does the difference really matter?

You can make of them what you will.Everything in this book comes from the heart.

Perhaps the poems and stories will even encourage you to think about which yarns and threads you might like to spin as well.

Look, are you a people watcher? Are you someone who is more interested in how a person reacts to their circumstances? There is always somebody who has an interesting approach and a fascinating personality. They will leave you unblinking and open-mouthed while you endeavour to suck in all their intricacies. Life is full of them and if given the opportunity when circumstances are right, they will provide you with a unique story.I was hardwired for their characters, and of course the Royal Marines would provide me with many. I was ever watchful for their unique personality, especially if they were my boss. I would observe them, tilting my head and face, endeavouring to glean every last drop of their character.I never took anything of anyone seriously, even in dangerous times in the Royal Marines; when nerves were on edge, there was always a joke to be had.This book is a dip in and out of my life. Serious, dangerous and adventurous, but for the most part funny, I think.
