When You Walk Through The Storm is the moving story of Anne Williams, whose son Kevin died at the Hillsborough disaster in 1989. It is a remarkable personal account of a mother's determination to discover the true circumstances of her son's death on that tragic afternoon. She vividly relates the grief she felt when she realised Kevin wasn't coming home, followed by the anger she experienced on discovering that he could have been saved. In the aftermath of the tragedy, controversy raged over who had been responsible for the events, & in When You Walk Through the Storm Anne Williams describes her feelings towards those who, she felt, had blood on their hands. Finally, she became embroiled in a bitter fight for justice for her son. ...

To the armchair fan, the life of the sports writer is one of unalloyed joy: all-expenses-paid trips to the most exciting events in the world, the best seats in the house, & one-on-one interviews with Anna Kournikova
- Well, up to a point. Where Am I & Who's Winning? describes what it's really like to make your way through the world of sport, always on deadline, always between time zones, on a frantic, chaotic & hilarious tour of the planet's most famous & most bizarre sporting venues. There's football to be watched. & Formula One. & tennis. & two Olympics, two Commonwealth Games, ocean racing, tropical cricket, curling, & of course the queen of sports
- synchronised swimming. But every minute of every day there's copy to file, editors to be appeased, & daughters wanting to know when Daddy's coming home. Permanently handicapped by jet-lag & incompetence, Andrew Baker travels by bullet train, bobsled, go-kart, & (most dangerous of all) bus in his constant quest to arrive at the match/race-meeting/mountain-top on time. Between soul-enhancing visits to the Dead Goat Saloon & the Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum, he breakfasts with Steve Redgrave, pub-crawls with Audley Harrison, discovers the unexpected affinity between Michael Schumacher & a brown slug
- & even takes in a game or two. Because nothing
- not Brazilian muggers, nor Chinese security services, nor Norwegian pornography
- shall stand between him & his noble calling: to bring the great British public its daily sporting fix. Andrew Baker's brilliant comic debut will appeal to the armchair traveller & the armchair sports fan alike. But most of all to anyone who enjoys the misfortunes of others-

Only Nick Tosches, best-selling author of Dino & The Devil & Sonny Liston, could have woven this irresistible tale: ...

Andrew Collins was born 37 years ago in Northampton. His parents never split up, in fact they rarely exchanged a cross word. No-one abused him. Nobody died. He got on well with his brother & sister & none of his friends drowned in a canal. He has never stayed overnight in a hospital & has no emotional scars from his upbringing, except a slight lingering resentment that Anita Barker once mocked the stabilisers on his bike. Where Did It All Go Right? is a jealous memoir written by someone who occasionally wishes life had dealt him a few more juicy marketable blows. The author delves back into his first 18 years in search of something
- anything
- that might have left him deeply & irreparably damaged. With tales of bikes, telly, sweets, good health, domestic harmony & happy holidays, Andrew aims to bring a little hope to all those out there living with the emotional after-effects of a really nice childhood. Andrew Collins kept a diary from the age of five, so he really can remember what he had for tea everyday & what he did at school, excerpts from his diary run throughout the book & it is this detail which makes his story so compelling.
