And Rufina Pritchard, Nana’s stepdaughter is here from Australia looking for work, which Nana can’t offer. Neither can Nana increase her son’s stipend. Jasper Bloomfield, the son, is none to happy about that.

Lady Marmalade is taking the Flying Scotchman up to York. She needs to attend to some financial affairs related to the estate of her deceased husband, Eric.
It is a time of reflection and Lady Marmalade is eager to get onto the train and away from the cacophony of the train station.
However, the train will not offer the respite she requires. During dinner on the trip to York, Major Jasper Moss is murdered. He wasn’t a nice man, but he didn’t deserve to be killed.
In the short time before the train makes it to York, does Lady Marmalade have the time to determine who amongst the five dinner guests killed him?
Captain Houghton has motive, he served under the Major in the second war. Winnie Smith has motive too as does the Major’s own daughter, Ethel who has accompanied him on this trip. Evan Cross, the waiter has a dark secret that gives him grounds for murder and Mr. Lewis Bryan had a business deal go bad with the Major that gives him incentive too.
Misery’s Company
In Misery’s Company, Lady Marmalade is having a few guests over for dinner and company at her ‘cottage’ called Avalon at Ambleside in the picturesque Lake District.
Sir Anthony Gibbons is a teller of engaging tall tales. A retired surgeon who was friend to both Lady Marmalade and her husband Eric, Sir Tony regales the dinner guests with a true story of a murder most foul in Australia.
Lady Marmalade’s good friend Jane Howard is one of the guests as is the businessman Ellis Hutchinson and his wife Lily. Sir Tony tells the tale of the murder of Melissa Kay, wife to Roger and mother to James.
At a dinner much like Lady Marmalade is hosting for her guests, Melissa is poisoned by someone who dined with her that fateful night. Not only was Melissa’s husband and son there, but her good friend Laura Lynch and her sister Ellie were enjoying the meal too.
The question on everyone’s mind, is whether or not Lady Marmalade can be outfoxed and if anyone else can determine the real killer in Sir Tony’s tale before she does.

Dust on His Soul
Jason Blacker
Genre: United States | Action & Adventure
The Story of One Man’s Journey to Hell and Redemption
Hell does have a name… Robben Island.
This story, though fictional, is inspired by, and honors, the life – and death – of Stephen Biko.
It is the 1970s and 80s in South Africa. Some cruelly and sadistically wielded power meant to scourge. Some broke under its weight, while some remained unbent, immovable under it, resolute of spirit, and ultimately, triumphantly, indomitable.
This is the story of such a man. A character study of an unconquerable heart, an unyielding spirit.
This is not a story for the feint of heart or stomach. It is a story, not meant to shock, but to shine the unapologetic, unflattering light of truth on a situation that was, and is very real.
Told through one man’s journey, it will lay bare any and all realities of a world that for some was inescapable. The pain is real. The horrors are real. Ignoring them won’t change a thing though understanding them just might.
