'Freedom: Ours for the Asking' answers some of the questions Western world has been mulling over for decades.Many aspects of everyday life are touched upon in this intriguing revelation, ranging from personal and family relationships to belief in the infinite. There is something contained in it for all who seek some real meaning in their lives.In an era where our cultural values are topsy-turvy compared with times gone-by; where many have lost their intrinsic sense of identity or even feel withdrawn from life - as though they're confined in a fortress - this book offers both hope and an explanation as to why it is.

A collection of twenty-four stories that are variously exciting, moving, funny, sad, intriguing and satisfying. Some stories are politically correct; most are not. Many of the stories are about people to be admired for how they cope in extremis, or for going above and beyond their duty thus becoming heroes and heroines, friends or lovers in the process. There are stories involving unsavoury and deluded men and women who reveal just as much about humanity as their heroic counterparts, albeit exhibiting less admirable aspects of human behaviour. Each story goes some way towards 'Closing the Gap' that exists between men and women, the lost and lonely, rich and poor, ambitious and disillusioned. If writing forces honesty upon the writer it also makes that honesty evident to the reader and it is to those elements we all recognise and identify with that will bring you the most pleasure when you engage with John Mack's tales.

Many Ages have passed since Yavros, the Grand Master of all Eternity, established his physical realm of Eddren and created terran spirits in facsimile of himself.In Book 1 of Lucifer's Story, the angel Lucifer, who refused to serve the terran spirits, has long-since been exiled in Hellion, but manages to find his way into Eddren and systematically usurps the free will gifted to the terran spirits by Yavros.Throughout the millennia that follow, Lucifer consistently wreaks havoc within the physical realm. Miekaale, the captain of Yavros' guard in Eternity, responds instantly when called upon to return Lucifer to Hellion - but it is not Miekaale's role to detain him there.In Book 2 of this evocative story, Yavros further attempts to control Lucifer and protect his precious terran spirits. He feels an urgent need to re-establish his connection with them before it's too late; sending angel emissaries to educate them, and even entering Eddren himself to live as a terran spirit. Yet Lucifer is irrepressible in his sense of vengeance. His tricks evolve into ever more sinister acts, culminating in such destruction that he sees himself as the equal of Yavros.Just when Yavros is on the verge of admitting defeat, a solution to the problem of Lucifer is offered to the hierarchy in Eternity by an insignificant terran spirit.He casually remarks, "I'm surprised you haven't all thought of it before."

Remember those long-ago days of fatty Sunday roasts, junket, climbing mulberry trees, hula hoops, mini-skirts, surfing and rock 'n' roll? The advice your mother gave you to 'Wear clean knickers in case you're in a car accident.' Her threats of 'Wait until your father gets home' or her warning, 'No nice man will marry you if you eat with your mouth open.' When the Strathern family moved to the coastal Sydney suburb of Collaroy, the neighbours feared the family of five and their dog in underpants would lower the tone on Pittwater Road. Whether they did or not is for you to decide as Jonquil Graham takes you on a return journey to childhood and teenage years that included sea voyages, modelling assignments, making a movie, Contiki trips, doing the hippie trail across Asia and hitch-hiking around Europe. Join her in this fun flashback to memories that will make you sigh and laugh aloud as she recalls life in Australia in the 50s and 60s.

'Lucifer's Story' is a fantasy tale of good-over-evil, which envisions the end of evil forever. It is set in a parallel universe called Eternity and is told in two parts: Books 1 and 2.
