Rungs on My Ladder pushes past the baseline expectations of memoir as a genre and creates and celebrates an amalgamation of lucid scenes of Eleanor's life and situates victim-hood as a conduit to triumph over circumstances that would normally break the weak and down trodden.

The nature of man appears to be on a downward spiral. Although a few true souls filter into Heaven, the borders of Hell are rapidly expanding to accomodate the remainder, and God stands by with indifference, watching the crisis unfold. When certain Angels begin to express their distress, God has to act, and Heaven has to decide whether it is wise to interfere once more in the mortal realm. The plan that is finally decided does not sit comfortably with all the factions of Heaven, nor possibly God himself. An Angel shall return to Earth as a twenty first century prophet and live the life of a mortal. However, the choice of Angel is controversial and some in Heaven would prefer this individual to fail. In an age where man believes that he knows virtually all there is to know, an Angel as defenceless as any other human soul takes the lonely journey into mortal life. His mission is to stem the tide of souls entering Hell by any means he considers fit. But there will be no helping hand from Heaven, he will sink or swim by his own actions, his own worth, his own belief.
Richard Jefferies and the Ecological Vision provides an illuminating account of one of Britain's best-loved nature writers, the incomparable Richard Jefferies. Lucid and comprehensive the book critically explores the diversity of Jefferies' literary talents, for this Wiltshire naturalist was without doubt a many sided and comprehensive genius. As a prose poet of nature Jefferies, like Thoreau, attempted to combine a vivid empirical naturalism with an extraordinary poetic imagination. He was indeed, as Brian Morris demonstrates, a pioneer ecologist. Although blessed with some insightful early biographers, Jefferies has been very much a neglected figure, and this study attempts to re-affirm his importance and relevence as a literary naturalist. Given the diversity of the Jefferies talents the structure of the book largely follows, and critically explores, the many different genres that Jefferies expressed in his writing. An initial chapter outlines Jefferies biography the history of a short life, for Jeffries, like Keats, died of tuberculosis and at the early age of thirty-eight.
