Hugh Ballater is a successful writer who enjoys international literary success, in contrast to his troubled personal life. After divorcing his wife, he leaves England and buys a house on the Kenyan coast where he continues to write. Finally at peace, he produces some of his best novels from his beachside retreat. With the unexpected arrival of a young Indian woman looking for work, his life takes a new turn. However, their encounter is short-lived as he dies unexpectedly. After his death, the reading of his will sparks a chain of events that has far reaching consequences for those closest to him. This love story crackles with intrigue and suspense around the dilemmas and rewards facing his housekeeper - the narrator of the story - and his ex-wife and children.

Exploring themes of memory and fleeting moments, this poetry collection draws inspiration from a tapestry of disparate memories and reflections. It captures the essence of half-forgotten places and ephemeral relationships, weaving together thoughts and observations accumulated over decades. The poems invite readers to contemplate the nuances of experience and the beauty found in the ordinary.

This love story concerns a modern, self-assured and successful young couple who take personal risks in their relationship whilst making 'promises of love and good behaviour' to each other. In a surreal setting, the author explores the interaction and emotions of a man, his wife and a young woman caught in a love triangle. Through their curious encounter, from which they cannot escape, the characters travel back and forth in time, each expressing their experience and singular perception of particular events. They learn about each other as they convey their most intimate thoughts and feelings, shedding all artifice in the process. In time, they realise that, as in all games, when the rules are broken, there are no clear-cut winners or losers.
